AMERICAN ECLECTIC WICCA: Pagan Denominations Dictionary on AMERICAN ECLECTIC WICCA

AMERICAN ECLECTIC WICCA: A broad range of individuals or groups that have based their philosophy, rituals and practices on the published works of Scott Cunningham and StarHawk.
 
Critics claim that American Eclectics take the contradictory position that Wicca is a completely modern religion created by Gerald Gardner but that the beliefs and practices of Wicca are completely individualistic, and therefore nobody can define "Wicca" for others.
 
This form of Wicca emphasizes spontaneity and tends to downplay the importance of such concepts as Oaths, Initiations, Lineage, and Tradition, or even to discard those concepts altogether. Many Wiccans object to these groups using the name Wicca, and believe they should be called American Eclectic Witchcraft.
