Eclectic witch :) I pick and choose from all and every type of spirituality and witchcraft, practicing whatever feels right for me. Love and peace to you.

I used to claim myself as wicca but now I when asked say I am a witch, grey witch . I see it as a life style not a religion.

Great video! Thank you for sharing. I consider myself a Wiccan for almost a year now. I was brought up in the Christian faith. In the beginning learning stages of Wicca I had a lot of soul searching to do. Like you mentioned, was indoctrinated by Christian upbringing. The journey has a been a great one. I consider myself a practicing witch and my new found religion is now Wicca. I do follow the Wiccan Reade, it's what works for me. What I love about Wicca is that it's so inclusive of your belief system. You can believe in as many gods and goddesses as you want, or none at all. Was an alien concept compared to Christianity, as I delved into this new path. I have never felt so alive and intuned with myself, as I am now. I don't know if I will always be a Wiccan. However, that's the beauty of all this- it's that you get too choose what's right for you and not the other way around. I will always respect other religions.( Christianity) because it was a part of my life for so long. But as I stand now, an earth-based religion is where I want to stay.

I am on a traditional witchcraft path. Growing up I use to still to this day respect nature and whenever something bad happens to the earth I can feel my soul crying out. Also, there is so much I have experienced that I don’t know if Wicca would be understanding of me. My heart and soul are definitely on the right path of traditional witchcraft.

Just found you. Im a traditional witch, born and raised! We go back many generations. Loved your information and how you described both. One thing i wanted to tell you is that family history and traditions also are a big part of trad witchcraft. My family has rituals etc thst are completely different from other families, even in the same area..if you have family of your own, one day your own traditions, rituals will be passed on. Its like any other family stuff really. All families in whatever religion have their own ways that get carried forward with new generations.im in england, Yorkshire but origionally from further north. I grew up in south africa so a lot of their stuff got incorporated into our familys ways. So now, in yorkshire we have my northern english and African mixture of the craft spreading through my family and their families. Please excuse the very bad typing. I have trouble with my hands these days so i hope this message makes sense. Bright blessings be upon you and yours dear. Much love from an old English lady❤

Witchcraft is a way of life not a religion and you live it every day. I was born into it and love it. I have tried other religions and i keep coming back to this way of life.!

It seems to me that Wicca, as a religion, has codes to follow whereas witchcraft is freer and one can make use of their own abilities and own energy based upon the own moral.

Olivia, the Witch of Wonderlust recommended this video and I'm glad she did. Your video is very informative and it was refreshing to get a take on both sides. I do think that Wicca is very interesting and beautiful in itself, however, since I'm not baptized and consider myself as an atheist, I think I'm more like a traditional beginner witch. I'm just more into the magical practice than into Wiccan religion. So thank you for doing this video ^^ 💗

[gaiamagick]

I do both. I’m in a coven and we mix Wicca with witchcraft.

[maikwilfriedson]

You should follow the path your intuition is pulling you towards..
And a real magician knows more than one path.. "wisdom should be welcomed where ever it comes from"

I started out with wicca as a teen and reading Scott Cunningham and Silver Ravenwolf. My practice has evolved over 20 years and trad craft is more what I identify with today.

Craziest thing, my daughter's name is Scarlett and I have that exact tarot curtain hung in my house. First time watcher, thought it was interesting.

[tonyblackwitchery]

Wicca is cool, but I go with traditional witchcraft.

[AudAeleon]

From my understanding the sabbats aren’t Wiccan the Wiccans just celebrate the sabbats. People who celebrate say Yule/Samhain etc aren’t necessarily Wiccan nor did the sabbats originate from the Wiccan religion, but rather these festivals/holidays were Pagan and later adopted by the Wiccans. Again I’m about 80-90% sure of this, but I’m not expert.

[DanielWilliamsEli]

Initiatory Wicca (Traditional Wicca)and Eclectic/Solitary Wicca are really two very different paths, and other then the surface leave they have very different belifes and practices. Now Folkloreic Witchcraft (Aka Traditional Witchcraft) is still yet another spiritual path. I think all these path are lumped together, but there all very different things.

[Morsoth]

I think Wicca is the easy entry point to Paganism. After a while, lets say 1-2 years, most people choose a more specific tradition like Druidry, what we call "Trad. Witchcraft", Asatru, Shamanism or simply Eclectic Paganism. Wicca is becoming more a dogmatic religion every year, with rules and concepts that are hard to escspe. I'm not a follower or any Rede anymore and I, for my part, cannot identify myself as a duologist. I'm a hard polytheist practicing Druidry and Witchcraft in a Celtic-Irish tradition. However, I have nothing against Wicca. I still own many books on Wicca and I'll never part away with them!

For me witchcraft has been a path of diy spiritual self therapy+mental stability maintenance which also satiates my aesthetic sentiments♥️💋

I'm 31 and started studying Wicca when I was 16. I fell out of it at about 22 and came back at 26.in the last week I have started learning about traditional witchcraft and I'm finding it extremely interesting. Hopefully I'll find more good books and sits to further my education and understanding
