Eshmasesh TeaDidikai Welcome to the Appeal to Popularity that is Wikipedia. You have no idea how many times Reagun has fixed the general Wicca entry only to have it changed back again. My love of wikipedia just toned down a notch. ._.;; stupid wikiality Is the pentagram within a circle really a wiccan symbol?
Since Wicca is only a few decades old, no. Is it originally from a religion older than Christianity? Eh, yes and no. It's partially a religious, partially a mathematical, partially a biological, and partially an astronomical symbol.

TeaDidikai reagun ban Is it? Wiccans use it, but that doesn't make it a part of Wicca. They also use ceremonial magic. That doesn't make Ceremonial magic a Wiccan magic system. In so much that it is a symbol that a portion of the Wiccan Population use as an Identifier if nothing else- yes. Further- While Wiccans do indeed use Ceremonial Magic, their CM is different (if only for the Deities invoked) from say- Thelma. I'm trying to translate this from "Tea-Speak" into English, and it isn't working- so the best I can do is suggest that "Wiccan Ceremonial Magic is indeed a Wiccan Ceremonial Magic System".
By adapting the CS into their religion, they have altered the CS in such a way that it is now distinct from its original form, requiring the W in front of the CS to note the distinction when discussing it with a large and diverse public?

Not usually- because the context allows for the understanding.

TeaDidikai Nuri Romanus Well, couldn't a person be Wiccan and still accept Jesus Christ as their personal saviour? That'd make them Christian by technicality, methinks. Wouldn't that require belief and worship of the Abrahamic God, though? He doesn't play nice with others. A soft polytheist could get away with it- but then you have the problem that both of said religions are at best- hard polythesitic. (If I need to cite the scripture where YHVH acknowledges other deities I will) Please do. I didn't even realize it was out there O.o
