Odyssean Wicca is a Wiccan tradition created in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in the late 1970s. Its principal founders were Tamarra and Richard James. Most of its practitioners today live in Ontario, but it also has members in Eastern Canada and the United States[1]. The tradition differs from other initiatory Wiccan traditions in its emphasis on preparation of its members for public priesthood.

The Odyssean tradition is strongly connected with the Wiccan Church of Canada, a public Wiccan church also founded by the Jameses[2].
