thesocial · 2010-01-05 14:04:13

Apologies in advance if I appear a little ignorant. Can someone tell me is Wicca one of the religions under the Neo-Paganism umbrealla or are they the same? Many thanks

It would fall under the neo-pagan umbrella, yes.

As Wicca and it's different traditions stem from Gerald Gardner who is siad to have founded what became know as Gardnerian Wicca ( from which the other British Traditional Wicca off shoots come from) in the 1950s it can be said it is one of the neo pagan religions.

There are many different religions and spiritual paths which can get describled as neo paganism, personally I don't see the point of using the term 'neo'.
