It is a completely different path. Wiccans, even when they work in groups have to do a lot of research, study and practise. It is not a path for lazy people as it requires a lot of hard work and dedication. It is a path that people find their way to, which enables seekers to celebrate the cycles of Nature whilst growing spiritually. To summarise, some witches choose Wicca as their religion, not all witches are wiccan, nor are all witches religious.
Some witches are Jewish and some claim to be Christian.
So you see Wicca is the religion of some Witches, but not all. This book comes highly recommended for all newbies who wants to learn more about the practices. Well this book contains all the materials used by the authors to train the probationers in their Coven in Wales.
