"Witchcraft" and "Wicca" are related:
A long time ago, when Christians BURNED supposed "Witches" on their crosses, they BURNED ancient Wiccans. (Somewhere along the line, the words "Witch" and "Witchcraft" came along). "Wiccanism", or "Witchcraft", was based on several Anglo-Saxon and other Germanic "religions", (in origin, of course). Christians, (and more predominantly Roman-Catholics), feared this other "religion" because they did not understand it, and because these people didn't pray to their "God", Jehovah (Yaweh of the Hebrew faith). Hmm, half the people they burned at the cross weren't even "Wiccans", but were people with various mental diseases, and oddities of the body.
Here is something about the Horned one.
Wow, you guys do know alot about this! Most people just stare at me blankly!
McJohn - You're right, they are very related, and although we do use the term "Witch" to name ourselves, "Witchcraft" itself is hardly used within our circles.
The reason why I separated Christians & Catholics is because (or at least what my mother tells me) there are differences. Just like Wicca is a branch of Paganism, Catholics are a branch of Christians. It just brings out the small differences in them!
