What is modern witchcraft or wicca?
In a way both are modern. But Wicca is more modern overall - since it is a branch of witchcraft. To better explain - All Wiccans are Witches, but not all Witches are Wiccan. Paganism is the oldest religion involving witchcraft.
Who founded the religion Wicca?
There is some debate about whether Wicca is a new religion or one of the oldest. Certainly Goddess centered worship has perhaps existed since before recorded history, but the modern Wicca movement was started when Gerald Gardner, known as the father of Wicca, published Witchcraft Today in 1954.
Is the spell to becoming a mermaid witchcraft?
No. First of all, spells and mermaids are not real, so it doesn't really witchcraft. Witchcraft, at least the Western conception of it, is tied to the religion of Wicca. Most folklore relating to magic is not related to Wicca.
Can Wicca be practiced with out a religious belief?
Yes. One of the easiest ways to do this is to belive in the voice of nature. Then, your journey begins. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, I seem an obvious misconception here. Wicca... is a religion. Witchcraft and spellwork are practices. Wicca is not spells, that's witchcraft.

How does wicca or witchcraft affect the world focusing NOT in the US and England?
Wicca doesn't affect the world very much.
Has wicca ever been persecuted?
Witchcraft was prosecuted MANY times, but I don't believe Wicca has ever been.
Did Wicca start in Britain?
No Wicca became popular in Britain in the 1950's, it did not start in the 1950's. Wicca or Paganism has been around for eons. Look back to ancient history, starting with Celtic tradition (just a place to start) even then Celtic beliefs will take you further back to when Wicca originated No one really knows when Wicca began, were not really suppose to, it is a simple fact of the faith. Shamanism, Paganism and Witchcraft has been around since the civilization of humans. But Wicca started as a religion in England in 1950's. There is no evidence of the existence of Wicca before that. Even Gerald Gardner does not claim so. That practice Gerald Gardner was referring to, that existed for a very long time, was Witchcraft, not Wicca. Wicca and Witchcraft are two things, not the same. Even Witchcraft was not called as Witchcraft since 1600. It is actually Shamanism. The word Witchcraft was introduced by the Vatican in 1600 to call all the Pagan beliefs, nature worship and Shamanism.
How do you use witchcraft?
Witchcraft is a way of life. It is a religion (or, rather, a group of religions) and magick. One form is Wicca.
What are the practices of witchcraft?
It depends on what you mean by 'witchcraft'. Do you mean Neopaganism (one of the religions being Wicca)? Please specify.
Is it possible to practice witchcraft without it being religious ie Paganism Wicca and if so what are some books or sites about it?
Witchcraft is not linked to a religion. Not all Pagans practice witchcraft and not all witchcraft practitioners are Pagan. If you were to define nonreligious as the absence of deity then try practicing Wicca. With Wicca, there is no claim to worship a deity, but rather, nature. Also, Paganism is not a religion. It is an umbrella term defining a specific type of religion.
Is witchcraft and wicca against the Catholic Religon?
No... quite the reverse is often true.
