no. paganism is a range of religions, like Christianity. Wicca is a type of pagan, but a pagan isn't necessarily a Wiccan.

What is the religion definition of wicca?

"Wicca" is supposedly the religion practiced by witches. It's pagan, but supposedly does not involve human sacrifice.Not all witches believe in Wicca. All the witches that believe in Wicca are good witches, because they believe that every spell you cast comes back to you three times as strong, so they only cast good spells. Imagine, casting a spell for warts on someone and having it come back three times as strong!!None of that information is accurate or informative. Actually, Wicca is a religion solely invested in nature. They do not worship deities but rather work with mother earth and other celestial bodies (such as the moon or the sun). What the person above was speaking about is something called the Wiccan Rede and it speaks of the ideals of Karma. However, not all Wiccans believe in Karma and even further, not all Wiccans practice witchcraft. Also, Wicca is hardly Pagan. Paganism is just another term for polytheism. There are no deities involved in Wicca, so there can't be many deities involved.
