(c)  a ceremonial based religion adapted from the ancient practices of our ancestors by Gerald Gardner in the 1950s, which has grown into a spiritually based faith celebrated through ritual, majick, and a reverence for the God, Goddess, and Nature.

(d) the religion of the Witches.

There are many definitions of Wicca, and almost everyone of them is different in one way or another.  Wicca is a religion, which is growing and changing constantly, really in it's infancy, and is re-defining itself over time.  The main connector for all who practice Wicca is the Wiccan Rede (pronounced Reh - DAY) which in its simplest form is:

"An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"
