Caveat Emptor...

I found this when searching for Old English Spells. It came from the site Witchcraft Spells, Wicca Spells, Talismans and Charms, Rituals, Love and Money invocations (http://www.newspells.com/witchcraftspells.htm). I don't know anything about the site, hence the warning, however, interesting connection...
The word witch derives from the Old English root "wit", which is the natural ability to percieve and understand. A "witch" is consequently a person with that ability. Wicce/wicca are Old English variations loosely meaning "the wisdom" or "the practice of wisdom", even "practioners of wisdom". This aside, its origins predating the Anglo-Saxon era constitute the major substance of debate regarding its history. Most probable of Old English cognate relationships is a derivation of the Old English noun forms m. wicca and f. wicce from the OE verb wiccian and from a Proto-Germanic predecessor thereof. Earlier, the Proto-Germanic *wikkjaz offers a probable cognate, and later, Low German provides wicker (soothsayer).[1
