	Myths-Dreams-Symbols
		Wicca is a religion based, in part, on ancient, northern European Pagan beliefs in a fertility Goddess and her consort, a horned God.
		Wicca teaches that there is certainly a higher power, namely the Goddess and God, often referred to solely as the Goddess, but that the Goddess is always attainable, for She is everywhere: in the tree, in the leaf, in the ant, within ourselves.
		Wicca is a religion which involves communion with the Earth, communion with a God/Goddess (or several of them if you're a polytheist), living in peace with yourself and others, and giving to those that gave to you.

	Why Wicca Isn't Inherently Celtic
		Modern Wicca is a religion built on the premise of archetypes, for instance "All goddesses are the face of the One Goddess".
		In the Celtic languages the masculine and the feminine are often interchanged or appear not as we might expect, but that can be mainly attributed to the fact that the Celts did not view their world in masculine and feminine terms as Wiccans so often do.
		In Celtic religion the only requirement you need is to have a connection with the Celtic culture through family or study, and to be dedicated to the betterment of your "tribe", with very few other initiatory elements.

		Also, no Celtic scholar whose works I've ever read had translated her name as meaning "Crooked Woman" (this stems from "Korrigan" which Hutton contends protrays Her as a stereotypical witch, despite the fact that it refers to drawfism, rather than personal temperment).
		But, according to several Celtic scholars, her name is firmly believed to come from the following words: "Cerdd" or "Cariad", which mean "song, poetry" and "beloved", respectfully, and "Gwen", which most often, "White", or in other cases, "fair," "shining," or "holy".
