Wicca
Founded by British civil servant Gerald Gardner in the 1930s, Wicca is a Neopagan religion which tends to focus on the worship of two deities: the Goddess and the Horned God. Wiccan morality is based upon a princinple known as Wiccan Rede, according to which "An' it harm none, do what ye will" (here, "an" is an archaic form of "if").
Gardner claimed that what he promoted was a originally a part of matriarchal religions of pre-historic Europe. He also claimed that the details were taught to him by an old woman called Dorothy Clutterbuck. Today, however, many believe that he invented it himself, drawing on such sources like Aradia: Gospel of the Witches by Charles G. Leland, and Freemasonry. During Gardner's day the idea that there existed at one time in prehistory matriarchal religions was also very popular; today, however, that belief has been largely rejected in the academic community due to a lack of evidence.

Its spelled Wiccan. It is a pagan Earth religion that includes witchcraft in its worship. Most Wiccans are polytheistic and worship a main god and goddess. If you google "Wiccan" then you are bound to get tons of resolts!

I believe it is spelled, Wiccan.
However I've not studied it, so I cannot answer your specific question.
