What is the connection of the mariner star in reference to wicca?
You mean the Faery Star, or Eleven Star. The Elven Star, or seven-pointed star, is found in some branches of the Faerie tradition of Wicca and sometimes in other Traditions as well. It is a reminder that seven is a sacred number in many magical traditions -- it is connected with the seven days of the week, the seven pillars of wisdom, and many other magical theories. It is used in many magickal Traditions, not just Wicca. Really, that's about all I can reveal about it, without getting some magickal practicioners riled up... the deeper "true" meanings are still (somewhat) held in secrecy...
Who were the first people to practice wicca?
This question has never truly been answered. Many people believe the first organized modern practice of Wicca was started by Alyester Crowly. But the ideals of Wicca and the traditions date back much further. They go back to some of the first civilizations. Celtics, Druids, Greeks, Native Americans, Norse, and Inca all have had the same common practices related to Wicca today. Wicca is a diverse religion with no real 'right' or 'wrong'. So in many ways the person who follows the religion creates their entirely own practice. Many modern Wiccans do not even associate themselves with Alyester Crowly or even the first societies who shared the same traditions. It truly depends on the individual person as to the opinion on where Wicca originated.

Wicca was derived by mixing these two elements so that there was a formal ritual style, its own dogma and laws, and a focus on naturalism.
