Abstract
Wiccans and Neo-Pagans are a growing and historically marginalized group, yet little scholarship is available that addresses their specific counseling needs. The authors discuss the origins of Wicca and Neo-Paganism, population characteristics of Wiccans and Neo-Pagans in the United States, important terminology, and common themes of Wiccan and Neo-Pagan belief based on review of the literature. Also discussed are implications for how counselors can incorporate awareness of these knowledge domains into competent practice with Wiccan and Neo-Pagan clients.
