There are those who say “wicca must be an ancient path, because the word’s been around for ages”. Yes, the word has been around for ages, but words change meaning through time.
For example, the word “alien” originally meant foreigner as in Sting’s 70’s pop song “Alien in New York”. Today’s usage of it means that an alien is someone from outside our planet.
I could give countless examples of this, but the fact of the matter is that Gerald Gardner used an old word to give his new path validity. The path of wicca dates back to the 1950’s and no further.
