Wicca is a modern pagan, witchcraft, and religious movement. It was developed in England during the first half of the 20th century and was introduced to the public in 1954 by Gerald Gardner, a retired British civil servant. Wicca draws upon various ancient pagan and witchcraft traditions and practices, but it also incorporates modern influences and beliefs. At its core, Wicca is centered around nature worship, reverence for the divine, and the practice of magic. Wiccans see the divine as a duotheistic concept, worshipping a God and Goddess who are considered to be equal and complementary forces. They believe in a universal life force energy, referred to as "the witch's power" or "the power of the witch.
The illustrations are extremely clear. The images follow the RW-based traditional deck closely (although some cards do use different names).
Although the descriptions in the book give a meaning to each of these, as well as to the main images in the cards, the reader should allow personal intuition to flow. The thorns are a symbol of the Faerie Folk, known for brambles and tangles, as well as for the tiny arrows called elf-shot, for one must remember to use good manners when dealing with the Fair Folk to avoid giving offense to these powerful beings of Nature.
They believe in a universal life force energy, referred to as "the witch's power" or "the power of the witch." Central to Wiccan worship and practice is the observance of rituals and celebrations known as Sabbats and Esbats. Sabbats are seasonal festivals that mark the turning of the wheel of the year and celebrate the changing seasons and cycles of nature.

Esbats, on the other hand, are monthly moon rituals that honor the lunar cycles and the Goddess. These rituals often involve the use of spells, potions, divination, and other forms of magic. Wiccans also adhere to the Wiccan Rede, a moral code that states, "An ye harm none, do what ye will." This means that Wiccans strive to live in harmony with others and with nature, and they believe in the concept of karma, that whatever one puts out into the world will come back to them. Wicca is a highly individualistic and eclectic religion, with practices varying among different Covens (Wiccan groups) and practitioners. There is no central religious authority, and Wiccans are encouraged to explore and develop their own spiritual path. Wicca is recognized as a legitimate religion in several countries, and it continues to gain popularity and acceptance worldwide..
