Some witches are not wiccans, that's true. Maybe the reason so many on this site use both terms interchangeably might be because WSI is (distantly) related to the Correllian tradition, which uses both terms interchangeably (the wisdom of that practice is questionable IMHO).

I'm Correllian, which makes me neo-wiccan (as in "non-BTW"). I also dabble in ceremonial magick and qabalah (my lastest discoveries).

Sadly Gypsy, if you are in fact a true Witch you may actually be alone. I was born into the Craft in 1947 with lineage traceable to before the 1100’s . When my grandmother past she was the last of her group left in America and there were only a few that I knew of in Europe. All since have past. I converted to Wicca in 1971. I have never regretted it although I do miss a few things. Interesting, born a Witch to die a Wiccan. The heritage changes, life goes on, we evolve. It is the wish of the Goddess.

Sincer Blessings,

Hi Gypsy!

Im Arman. im from the Philippines. A traditional hilot and tawas. Wicca comes fro the west. But it catch my interest on it. since my personal belief synchronize with the correllina doctrines.

Well at first im not a wicca, but now i am considering my self as recon.

My goal is to redeem and revive culturally the old religion of my country, by bridging wicca to our history.

I am not “Wiccan“- I consider myself to be “pagan” as I dont agree with any organized religion. Im a solitary witch who walks with balance of both light and dark. I use this site as an outlet to converse with fellow witches. Most everything from the wiccan faith I do agree with ~however... I myself do not belong with any religion and I have strong beliefs that link me many "pagan" religions as it is an umbrella term. There are pagans all over the world-even deep Africa has some amazing views and rituals that I commonly use. India, china, Ireland-you name it...I find different cultures fascinating. my spirituality could never be restricted to a single religion. I am curious to know if you are "wiccan"?

Hi Gypsy,

I'm a solitary witch. I also call myself a pagan. Even though a lot of my practices/rituals are essentially wiccan, I don't call myself one. I've had teachers from several branches of pagan and/or shamanic practices who've helped me hone my acquired discoveries and natural abilities. I'm nominally First Degree Clergy in the Correllian Tradition, but as I was never initiated as I understand it, I don't lay claim to the wiccan label. Wicca is all about the lineage and the initiations. I'm not comfortable with organized religion either. Perhaps it's an inevitable stage that spiritual practices go through. But the roots and the inner mysteries remain, hidden and essentially unchanged, waiting for those who find their way to them, whatever the outer forms look like.

Hello Gypsy!

I am both a Wiccan and a Witch, though I used to refer to myself only as Witch (well, and a Pagan). I used to practice my own Eclectic blend of Witchcraft and other belief systems, yet now I have a more structured path that I follow.
After some time I looked into Wicca and decided it was the path for me. Everything just seemed to fit. I still consider myself Eclectic, though I am most certainly a Wiccan now, and proud of it!

Blessings,

Orion

Do you mean, what made me realise that I was Wiccan? Well I suppose I researched Wicca and found out what it was all about, and everything just seemed to fit. The duotheistic approach to Deity, the freedom that you don't get in mainstream religion, and the love and respect of Nature - it all just resonated deeply with me.
For some time I decided not to refer to myself as Wiccan - mainly because of the views of some Traditional Wiccans, who believed that you cannot be Wiccan unless you are a part of a Coven and over the age of 18. However, I am now a proud member of the Correllian Nativist Tradition, and no longer have any problem with classifying myself as Wiccan :)
