	Dianic Wicca - Wikipedia
		Beliefs and Practices Dianic Wicca is very similar to traditional Wicca in practice (see section below for a discussion of their differences), but differs significantly from it in beliefs.
		Differences between Dianic Wicca and Mainstream Wicca Like other Wiccans, Dianic Wiccans form covens, attend festivals, celebrate the eight major Wiccan holidays, Samhain, Beltane, Imbolc (or Imbolg), Lammas, the solstices and equinoxes (see Wheel of the Year) and the Esbats, which are rituals held at the full moon.
		With the formation of Dianic Wicca in 1960's, Wicca in general was thrust into the public's view.

	Talk:Neopaganism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		I'm fairly certain it is wrong to even use the term Wicca to refer to Dianics, since the important factor in Wicca is gender polarity which doesn't apply even remotely to Dianic practice.
		Dianic Wicca, also known confusingly as Dianic Craft, is a variant of Wicca that centrally honours Diana, Queen of the Witches.
		Futhermore, Gardner (et al) stopped using the word Wicca torwards the end of his life, as the proper etymology became clear (see [Gerald Gardner]): Wicca is a Anglo-Saxon masculine noun (Wicce the feminine) meaning necromancer, while witchcraft is the derived practice of Wiccae.

	Fluffy bunny
		The term "fluffy bunny" is used within Neopaganism as a partially humorous label for the tendency for paganism to be viewed in a New Age "sweetness and light" manner.
		Adherents to Wicca and other aspects of paganism who tend to look primarily upon the positive aspects of the faith, while downplaying the more serious, traditional aspect, are often dubbed "fluffy bunnies" in a manner similar to usage of the term fanboy.
		Some more reconstructionist pagans consider all of Wicca to be fluffy-bunny in nature due to possiblity that it is the sole creation of Gerald Gardner based on popular historical/archeological theories of his day and pre-existing occult practices.

	Surfsteve's Forums - Avatar(Eric) proven WRONG on Masonic/Occult Claims
		Gerald Gardner, the main founder of Wicca, claimed witchcraft actually meant 'The Craft of the Wise', though there is no solid etymological foundation for this.
		The belief in the existence and efficacy of witchcraft has been held nearly universally through time and culture, although the concept and its portrayal have varied widely.
		The modern neopagan use thus appears to be a borrowing from an older source in order to confer a sense of antiquity and historical precedent, in the same way that Wiccan rituals borrow heavily from the Masonic.
