Welcome

TheWicca.ca is dedicated to recognizing and promoting Canadian Wiccan culture.

The traditions of Wicca that came originally from England have grown into a multitude of groups, artists, musicians, poets, academics, stores, and festivals across Canada celebrating the divine nature of the world. Some of this culture remains true and largely unchanged from its British roots, while other elements have grown into distinctly Canadian expressions. The exploration of Canadian Wiccan culture is a long path as varied as the climate, geography, and people that spans Canada from coast to coast.

Check in from day to day for new content or join the Facebook Homepage to receive updates of new content as it is added. To help find what you're looking for, information is organized into the following areas:

Forums - An open forum for all vistors to discuss topics such as news and current events, sabbats, divination, mythology, history, herbalism, Canadian Wiccan organizations, culture, and more from a Canadian perspective.
Articles - Articles by Canadian Wiccan authors, or articles about Canadian Wicca. Discover traditions of Wicca that are specific to Canada and read about the philosophy and practice of Wicca in Canada.
Festivals - A listing of Wiccan related festivals across Canada. If you are interested in attending or contacting a Wiccan festival, you may search by province or view the full Canadian listing.
People - Explore the authors, academics, poets, musicians, artisans, and other individuals that have contributed to Canadian Wiccan culture.
Culture - Canadian Wiccan music, video and film, poetry, publications, websites, and ritual.
Stores - Locate Wiccan related stores across Canada.
Organizations - Find public Wiccan groups and private covens by province or across Canada.

To help promote Canadian Wiccan culture, free web-hosting is offered to Canadian organizations, covens, and individuals. If you would like to have your website hosted at www.thewicca.ca, email myself to discuss the details.

Any suggestions of content can be emailed to myself. Submissions of articles, poetry, people, groups, festivals, stores, and other contributors to Canadian Wicca are welcome.

Call For Action

The push to repeal Canada's last anti-witchcraft law has taken a step forward with the start of a new facebook group and a pre-written letter that can be copy/pasted and then emailed or mailed. Please support this initiative by joining the Facebook group and forwarding it to your friends, as well as taking the time to send a copy of the letter asking that the Federal Government of Canada repeal this antiquated and discriminatory section of Canadian law.
