So the term "witch" has nothing to do with wicca?
"So the term "witch" has nothing to do with wicca?"
Oh, man. Let me get out my Dictionary of Indo-European Roots.
Wiccans familiarly call themselves "witches", whether male or female. Some author (I confess I'm too lazy to look it up) said that "Wicca" comes from "wicce", meaning "to turn [or] to bend" in Anglo-Saxon or some other proto-English dialect. Another author said that theory was BS. It'll be a couple of years of research to prove a connection. You first.
