I'm absolutely serious when I say that Merriam Webster Online takes seconds to use, even with my 31.2 modem speed. From them, I got this, in about an instant (sorry if this is too difficult for you to follow harpgirl)

Of course, harpgirl wouldn't have had her shits and giggles in this thread, if she had simply looked up the word wicca in the dictionary. Hence my suggestion she had other motives and intentions when starting this thread than being enlightened by those more knowledgeable than herself on the subject.
