Neo Paganism and Wicca

Neo-Paganism (also spelled Neopaganism and also known as Paganism) is a religion that emphasizes ancient pagan religious traditions and reverence for nature. This religion takes a variety of forms known as "paths," which range from Wicca, which focuses on spells and goddess worship, to Hellenic Polytheism, which seeks to revive Greek paganism in an academically accurate form. While this belief system was more commonplace in the ancient world, it has experienced a resurrgence in parts of the modern world, mostly in the West. (See Wicca)

When it comes to Neo Paganism and Wicca, many people have questions like: What do Wiccans believe in God or gods? What do they believe about the universe, people, the spiritual realm, and the afterlife? What are their values, traditions, and ethics? Who are their teachers, leaders, and followers? And what is their history? Serious students of religion will also want to know how Wicca is the same as, and different from, other major world religions.
