Once you begin to move beyond basic background information, you begin to realize that there\'s more to Wicca than you may have first thought. 

Wicca is a religion, and although its adherents often identify as witches, Wicca and witchcraft are not necessarily the same thing. Wiccans worship a goddess and a god; they observe the festivals of the eight Sabbats of the year and the full-moon Esbats; and they have a code of ethics that most live by. Wicca is thus distinct from witchcraft, which does not of itself imply any specific religious, ethical or ritual elements, and is practiced in various forms by people of many religions. Wicca incorporates a specific form of witchcraft, with particular ritual forms, involving the casting of spells, herbalism, divination and other forms of magic. Wiccan ethics require that magical activities be limited to good purposes only.
