"Hear now the words of the witches, The secret we hid in the night, The oldest of gods are

invoked here, The great work of magic is sought, In this nights and in this hour, I call upon the ancient power, Bring thy power to us three, We want the power, Give us the power..." The verse above was excerpted from the famous show 'Charmed' that introd uces the hidden lives of witches in the modern city of San Fransisco. Accordingl y, wicca is the way of life, and freemasonry is too. Now let us look at their ve ry definition. Wicca, is a modern Pagan religion, developing in England in the first half of th e 20th century that was popularised in the 1950s and early 1960s by a Wiccan Hig h Priest named Gerald Gardner, who at the time called it the "witch cult" and "witchcraft", and its adherents " the Wica". Meanwhile, Freemasonry is a fraternal organisation that arose from obscure origins in the l ate 16th to early 17th century. which now exists in various forms all over the w orld, with a membership estimated at around six million, including approximately 150,000 under the jurisdictions of the Grand Lodge of Sc otland and Grand Lodge of Ireland, over a quarter of a million under the jurisdiction of the United Grand Lodge of England and just under two million in the United States. Now, let us discuss the connection between wicca and freemansory which is the si miliar basis and struccture of organisation, their empel ritual resemblances, an d their philosophical similarities.
