DEFINITION OF CLERGY


"The body of all people ordained for religious duties"

"Clergy is a generic term used to refer to the formal religious leadership within some religions.

DEFINITION OF WICCAN


Wicca: a Neopagan, Earth-centered religion

"Wicca is a diverse religion with no central authority or figure defining it. It is divided into various lineages and denominations, referred to as "traditions"

"Wicca is typically duotheistic, worshipping a god and goddess traditionally viewed as a mother goddess.."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicca

"There are probably as many definitions of Wicca (also known as "the Craft", Witchcraft, or the Old Religion) as there are practitioners --one of the joys of this path is that there is no "one, true way"; intuition is as valuable as teaching. This then is my personal definition of what Wicca is to me."
