What are the differences between Alexandrian wicca and Gardnerian wicca?
Alexandrian, founded by Alex Sanders and his wife Maxine, is an offshoot of Garnerian Wicca, founded by Gerald Gardner so the similarities are more prominent than the differences. It is difficult to write general statements about both traditions as each has covens that may practice slightly differently than other covens in their own respective traditions. Generally speaking: Both are initiatory, have 3 degrees, are considered British Traditional Wicca (BTW) and are more formal and ceremonial in nature than say, Reclaiming Wicca. Neither accept or recognize self-initiations (usually). A few differences: Alexandrians attribute the athame to air and wand to fire (Gardnerians athame = fire, wand = air), Gardnerians make more regular use of ritual nudity than Alexandrians.

The meanings of these terms are more closely associated with magic and sorcery rather than the concepts of shaping or bending.
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.
