In Regards to Wica (It's actual/original spelling)


Wica (Yes, this is the correct word)


Gerald Gardner, considered the official founder chose to write Wica, with one ‘c’. This is clearly seen in his published books where a pattern also emerges which shows that Gardner’s usage of the word increased throughout the 1950s and some later authors will into the late 1970s to early 1980s.


The one who actually changed it was an author named Scott Cunningham who popularized the spelling Wicca (with two C's) over earlier Wica (with one C), particularly through his influential 1988 book, Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner. 


However "Wicca" began appearing in the 1960s and 1970s when it was understood it was pronounced Wech-uh though some pronounced it Wich-ae. The sources, however were not very good linguists.
