Like other religions, Wicca has holy days (holidays), a set of basic tenets, a cosmology that explains the creation and continued function of the universe, a deity (in Wicca's case a God and Goddess) that should be revered and honored by practitioners, prayer (though some Wiccans prefer not to use the word prayer for personal reasons).

Most similar to other religions, the practice and beliefs of Wicca differ from denomination to denomination and practitioner to practitioner.
