    G'day Anjana,

    Thank you for your question.

    The word occult means "knowledge of the hidden" and is generally used to describe study of supposedly supernatural practices outside religion.

    A pagan generally means a follower of a polytheistic religion such as Shinto or native American religions or the Greek or Norse gods.

    Wiccan is a form of neogpaganism generally believed to have been developed during the twentieth century. It is related to witchcraft and claimed to be based on established witchcraft practices.
