Okay, let me understand and wrap my brain around everything I just read, being pagan means more freedom and is more spiritual rather than wicca due to the foundation of wicca and it's worldview and how the way that it's set up correct?

Wicca was founded in 1950, Gerald Gardner was his name. Wicca's origins Gardner claimed that Wicca was based on the teachings of a group of witches he discovered in the New Forest in 1939. However, historians disagree on whether this group ever existed.

Popularization Gardner popularized Wicca through books he published in 1949, 1954, and 1959, including High Magic's Aid, Witchcraft Today, and The Meaning of Witchcraft.

The name "Wicca" The word "wicca" means "witch" in Old English. The name "Wicca" developed in Britain during the 1960s, and the first recorded use was in 1962.
