Sure, from Wikepedia... Wicca is a Neopagan religion and a religious movement found in various countries throughout the world. It was first popularised in 1954 by a British civil servant named Gerald Gardner[1] after the British Witchcraft Act was repealed. He claimed that the religion, of which he was an initiate, was a modern survival of an old religious tradition, which had existed in secret for hundreds of years, originating in the pre-Christian Paganism of Europe. Wicca is thus sometimes referred to as the Old Religion. The veracity of Gardner's claims cannot be independently proven, and it is thought that written Wiccan theology began to be compiled no earlier than the 1920s. Various related Wiccan traditions have since evolved, or been adapted from, the form established by Gardner, which came to be called Gardnerian Wicca. These other traditions of Wicca each have distinctive beliefs, rituals, and practices. Paganism (from Latin paganus, meaning "a country dweller" or "civilian") is a term which, from a western perspective, has come to connote a broad set of spiritual or religious beliefs and practices of natural or polytheistic religions. The term can be defined broadly, to encompass many or most of the faith traditions outside the Abrahamic monotheistic group of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This group may include the Dharmic religions, which technically incorporate characteristics of paganism such as nature-worship, idolatory and reverence of female deities and are thus diametrically opposite to the Abrahamic faiths. "Pagan" is the usual translation of the Islamic term mushrik, which refers to 'one who worships something other than The God of Abraham'

I'm pretty sure the answer by Joe-Speedy is correct, though it's kind of confusing maybe :) As a Wiccan who was confused by the term paganism, and spent a lot of time researching it- I found the simplest way to describe it is that Paganism is an umbrella term. Wicca is a branch off of that term as are other religious sects such as druidism etc. However there is a lot of negativity surrounding the term pagan/paganism and some people may become offended if you call them a pagan so if you use it you should make sure people understand you're doing so in a positive way. I found this site really helpful when I had questions about words and stuff - check out the links from the wicca/witchcraft page if you're interested :) http://www.religioustolerance.org/paganism.htm Wiccans as a religion centers around nature- herbs and oil and stones and moon phases... it is a polytheistic religion (more than one god) - it believes in an equal God and Goddess . It believes in reincarnation and magick. Wicca has two laws- the three fold law and the law that 'an it harm none, do what ye will'. Apart from the laws, though, it's extremely flexible. If you're interested, research it and read as much as you can- if you find something that you feel is right for you, then follow that path. It's not strict (for example I don't believe in a God and Goddess as such I just recognise masculine and feminine aspects of the world- some Wiccans don't believe in a God- this is called dianic wicca) Hope I helped, good luck and blessed be~
