Wicca is based in nature, and the natural ability to utilize the energies surrounding everything to accomplish personal & group goals. However, it is also a way of living...it's one "commandment"--Do No Harm!
One of the most sincere practitioners & authors of such, was Scott Cunningham...check out any of his books... they are insiteful, wonderfully written, and provides great brain food not just on the subject from a religious standpoint, but also for life itself.

White witch craft, I think. It is pretty much the worshiping of the Mother Earth and all that she can give instead of worshiping God. Try doing a search with www.wikipedia.com.
