[edit] Wicca
Wicca originates in 1940s Britain and becomes the mainstream of Neopaganism in the United States in the 1970s. There are two core Traditions of Wicca, which originated in Britain, Gardnerian and Alexandrian. These are sometimes referred to as British Traditional Wicca. From these two Traditions of Wicca arose several other Traditions that are variants of these central two. Wicca has also inspired a great number of other witchcraft traditions in Britain, Europe and the United States, most of which base their beliefs and practices on Wicca.
