The history of Wicca from a Wiccan supplies store

Willow Grove Magickal Shoppe, a provider of many products for Wiccans and Pagans, also provides information about the history of the religion. There are several ways to discuss the history of the religion itself and related traditions. Some people argue that Wicca and modern witchcraft, also known to some as the Neo-Pagan revival, only dates back to the middle of the previous century. Others believe that it is in line with the world's oldest religious traditions, dating back to the most ancient societies in the world's long and storied history. Use of Wiccan supplies for rituals has gained in popularity due to a resurgence in Pagan traditions in the past sixty or so years, and that cannot be argued. But it is hard to pin down exactly how the religion has grown and when it was started, and by whom, because groups using items such as Wiccan herbs and witchcraft supplies are often autonomous, and there is no rigid dogma uniting various groups.

The Boline is the blade traditionally used to cut each herb and other items used in the rituals of Wicca and Paganism. Dating back to pre-Christian traditions in Europe, particularly the Druidic tradition of Celtic lore, these practices have returned with the use of Wiccan herbs in spells and rituals. Willow Grove Magickal Shoppe carries Wiccan supplies and Wiccan ritual tools for the types of rituals that some call a part of Wicca, and others call Neo-Pagan.

Paganism is another term that is troublesome for some. Often, it is used to describe a follower of a mystical religion that is not of the Judeo-Christian tradition. What we take it to mean is that the divine takes more than one form. Neo-Paganism has been used in the past few decades to describe the resurgence of those beliefs.
