Wiccan
Nature-faith practitioner
A Wiccan is someone who practices Wicca, a modern pagan religion that emerged in mid-twentieth-century England and draws on pre-Christian traditions, nature worship, and ceremonial magic.
As an adjective, Wiccan describes things related to this faith: Wiccan rituals, Wiccan beliefs.
Wiccans typically revere nature, observe seasonal festivals, and may practice witchcraft as part of their spiritual path.
The term is neutral and preferred by practitioners over the sometimes-loaded word witch.
