Answer

Wicca was formed by Gerald Gardner in the 1950's so technically it would be a newer religion than Christianity. However, Wicca is based on very ancient Roman and Norse spiritual beliefs along with some Egyptian and Celtic symbolism and even some Folk Magic. So the parts that make up Wicca would be much older than Christianity.

Answer

Christianity was formed from the pagans. It is very much like Wicca and yet christians look down upon those who practice witchcraft when in fact they hold rituals them selves! Christians built over the pagan temples and you can still see the symbols in churches to this day. The line goes back to one of the first religions being Wicca. So, yes Wicca is older than Christianity.

Answer

Pagan beliefs existed long before monotheistic doctrines. There were thousands of ancient Pagan cultures throughout the ancient world with evidence surviving today that predates recorded history. They were based on animals, stars, trees, fertility rites, lunar cycles, solar cycles, etc. Many were female based and all were pantheistic. The coming of Christianity brought with it a major effort to wipe out those ancient religious worship systems. Simple research will reveal an overlay of Christian holy days on Pagan holy days in order to mask their original Pagan significance.

Wicca is a modern manifestation of the ancient nature worship that existed for thousands of years. Wiccans celebrate the earth and believe that all living things have a spirit. Vestiges can be seen in ancient sites such as Stonehenge which predates Christianity by thousands of years.

What is the difference between pagans and wiccans?

Paganism, by definition, is any various religion outside of Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. Wicca is a type of Paganism, and falls under its umbrella.

More specifically, Pagan means "country dweller", where Wicca means "witchcraft".

Is Wicca a commonly practiced religion?

Wicca today is a commonly practiced religion, though many are still in the closet so no true number of practitioners can be accurately recorded. It is a very unique religion that people find themselves drawn to. It is a constantly growing and expanding religion that takes on new followers everyday, no different than any other religion. The main difference is that Wicca doesn't scare people into converting, as most of us believe that everyone has a path they need to follow, and if their path brings them to Wicca, then they should follow it, if it takes them to Christianity, then they should follow it.
