I was asked long ago to write an article in order to spell out the
differences between Wicca, and what it is known to
anglo-american witches as
stregheria or
stregoneria. The forum for which the article was thought does not exist, but the question is still alive.
These
three terms,
wicca,
stregheria and
stregoneria have often been used as
synonymous. When a difference has been made, this was in order to
differentiate Gardnerian or Alexandrian witchcraft from
stregheria or
stregoneria, which is seen as an Italian variant of the
old religion.
