What is the difference between Wiccan and Witch?
You’re not the only one who’s confused! This is an ongoing question among Wiccans, as well. There are no strict definitions… or rather, there are many definitions, and many of them contradict each other. For example, some people say that Wiccan is only for those who follow Gardnerian tradition. Others say it’s for those who are more eclectic than traditional. For myself and on this website, I use “Wiccan” for the spiritual and philosophical component, and “Witch” for the magickal action component.
