Wiccans are practitioners of Wicca, a modern pagan religious movement that emphasizes the worship of nature and the reverence of a goddess and god. Wicca incorporates various elements from ancient pagan traditions, folklore, and ceremonial magic. Rituals often include the use of tools like the athame (a ceremonial dagger), wands, and candles to create sacred space and connect with spiritual energies. Wiccans typically celebrate seasonal festivals known as Sabbats, which mark the changing of the seasons and the cycles of nature. They may also observe Esbats, which are rituals held during the phases of the moon. Wicca promotes values such as harmony, respect for the earth, and personal responsibility in one's spiritual practice.
