Pagan author – classic case with a cloak (5)
I believe the answer is:
wicca
'pagan' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'author classic case with a cloak' is the wordplay.
'author' becomes 'i' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'case' suggests removing the centre.
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'cloak' indicates putting letters inside.
'classic' with its middle taken out is 'cc'.
'w'+'a'='wa'
'i'+'cc'='icc'
'icc' inserted within 'wa' is 'WICCA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wicca that I've seen before include "Practice of witchcraft" , "Magic" , "Cult of modern witchcraft" , "paganism" .)
