A variety of archaeological finds show that Wicca’s history can be traced back to Paleolithic peoples who worshiped a Hunter God and a Fertility Goddess. Cave paintings from roughly 30,000 years ago portray a guy with a stag’s head and a pregnant lady standing in a circle with eleven other people. Modern American Wicca comes from...
