I think there is a bit of confusion as to the ancient order or origins of wicca but here is an article that reports the true begigings of the new religion (christianity VS the old pagan wiccan. "Gregory The Great decided to make an attempt to mass convert to Christianity. He did this by building new Christian churches over ancient pagan worshiping sites. He was somewhat successful since the artisans who built the churches were most often pagans. Because of this many of the churches to this date can be seen full of Green Men, quarter guardians and pentacles."
