As someone who was interested in witchcraft, I felt I had to follow Wicca, which was difficult for me because I tend to call myself an Atheist and don't believe in a deity or a God. So glad people can make this distinction!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13342008010238871428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-42848533140865611052017-01-23T11:34:17.370-05:002017-01-23T11:34:17.370-05:00It's never too late to find an interesting pos...It's never too late to find an interesting post. :) Thank you so much!Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-35736805333042112842017-01-18T18:59:20.343-05:002017-01-18T18:59:20.343-05:00 Hello!!!!

I'...As usual, you have a great informative post! I'm Wiccan and I'll point one thing out that many don't know. Being Wiccan doesn't not mean automatically that you are also a witch. Wicca is the spirituality, the religion and where the Wiccan crede comes in and the Rule of Three and Do no harm, etc.<br /><br />Witchcraft is the craft aspect, the spellwork, rituals, candles, herbs or tarot, etc. of being a witch. <br /><br />A person can be Wiccan and not consider themselves a witch and not engage in spells or ritual work. At the same time, a person who calls themselves a witch does not necessarily follow the Wiccan beliefs, including the do no harm. They are more involved with the craft of being a witch, the spells, rituals, even the outer trappings and showmanship that can be a part of rituals.<br /><br />For many who follow the pagan paths, maybe even most, the two go hand in hand. For me, Wicca is the spirituality, the internal aspect of what I believe and feel and the relationship I have with the Goddess and the world at large (big emphasis on nature). Witchcraft is the outward aspect, or the physical aspect, a way to show my beliefs and merge my internal with the external.<br /><br />And then there are those who want to play at being a witch, or dabble in it for reasons of their own.<br /><br />It took me a long time to admit I was a witch. I embraced Wicca but not the Witch until I finally had to admit that I was in fact a witch. <br />Susan Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16626131979925250029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-5589099061386172652015-02-23T22:33:01.530-05:002015-02-23T22:33:01.530-05:00What interesting information.
