The Difference Between Wicca and Witchcraft
	This topic is very complicated. Many people believe that Wicca and Witchcraft are the same thing. But from my point of view they have many differences, although both can be crossed with the other to create a way of life. Let's start with Wicca. Wicca is a new religion based on beliefs record some thousands of years ago. The concept of Gods and Goddesses traces back through histroy right back to the Egyptians and Greek (possibly before). Wicca is generally described as a nature religion. Wiccan beliefs and ideas are religious and are used to help in worship. Most Wiccans are Witches, ALL 'modern' Wiccans are Witches.. Witchcraft is an old concept, modernized. Witchcraft was used to treat sick people back in the Stone Age.  Witchcraft is the belief that herbs have properties to heal and bring good luck. Witchcraft is the belief that within a stone or crystal lies some magical property. Witchcraft is in no way a religion, it is a practice that can be used in conjuction with most religions. Witchcraft is the use of magic for gain, weather it be for personal gain, or for the gain of others.. Most witches do not use 'black magic' and only a portion of Witches are Wiccan. The difference between the two is that Wicca is a religion and Witchcraft is a practice. A person can be a witch but not be a Wiccan, however, to be a Wiccan, is usually to be classed as a Witch. Witchcraft uses magic for gain, Wicca uses Diety Concepts for religious beliefs
