Wicca: Meaning
built 614 days ago
Wicca Symbol The word ‘Wicca’ has been derived from the Anglo-Saxon word wicce, which means to have wisdom, so as to bend or shape, like a wicker for a basket. Wicca stands for a male witch, while a female witch is called ‘wicce’. With the passage of time wicca has gained currency for both male and female witches.
What is Wicca?Wicca is a forest in the light of the silvery moon...a glade enchanted by the light of the Faery. It is the dewdrop on the petals of a flower in bloom, the warmth of the summer sun on the skin, the fall of colourful autumn leaves, and the softness of winter snow upon the Earth. It is light, and shadow and all that lies in between. It is the song of the wind, and the tune of the tides. It is the symphony of life! To be a Witch is to be a healer, a teacher, a seeker, a giver, and a protector of all things living and alive.

Wicca Title In order to understand Wicca it is essential to know its roots. All countries have a native spiritual tradition based around reverence for the forces of nature. Wicca is the native tradition for the nations of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, and is rooted in the period before 500 BC which marks the start of the iron age. The sacred sites from this period, in particular Avebury/Silbury and Stonehenge, are important to Wicca as are the ancient British legends, for example the Mabignogian. Wicca was illegal in Britain for nearly 1000 years up until 1951... following it's legalization a large amount of material has been published and Wicca is now accessible to all.
For dynamic breakpoint weaving, Phx.Morph weaves the assembly just like in the static weaving case but instead of injecting advice calls, it calls a callback function that Wicca implements. When Wicca gets the callback it sets breakpoints in the running program using the Microsoft Debugger Breakpoint API. When a breakpoint is hit, Wicca obtains the context parameters using the Microsoft Debugger API and then executes the advice method method *in the process space of the running program* using the Microsoft Debugger Func-Eval API.

Wicca is based in a large part on etymological, anthropological, and folkloric research done between 1900 and 1940. The theories and approaches of those disciplines have evolved considerably since then; the Wiccan sacred history has not.

The Wicca dynamic AOP system is implemented as a plug-in for the Microsoft Managed Debugger (mdbg). Mdbg takes care of launching the client process, attaching a debugger to it, managing communication between the debugger and the process, and providing an interactive command-line shell to the user.
