I will be holding Eclectic Wiccan as my title, soon. But I still need to study a lot more and brush up on what that title specifically means.

Have you read the sticky at the front of the guild?
A lot of people who have worked very hard to earn that title feel hurt or frustrated when people take the title for themselves.

As Esiris mentioned there is the Use of the Word Wicca sticky, and more recently we had the Solitary Eclectic Wiccans... thread that covered quite a bit of the same.

I really suggest that you read through those carefully before choosing to call yourself Wiccan, if you have not been initiated via a lineaged Coven.

The title "eclectic Wiccan" doesn't itself mean anything - that is, the terms contradict one another; it doesn't make sense wink If you read the sticky Sweet has linked for you, you'll learn why in more detail.

Like I said in the top post, I need to study a lot more before I claim that to be my title.

You misunderstood. I am not claiming it as my title until I feel sure I know everything I need. My title is currently: Learner, and it will be that for a long while.

I'm not sure you've really clicked on what we're saying here. We're not saying you can't be a Wiccan if you've gone through the proper requirements to earn the title. But it's literally impossible to be an "eclectic Wiccan". It's not a title you can claim, ever, at any time, regardless of the amount of research you put into it, because eclectic Wicca doesn't exist.

Then I'm sure "eclectic Neo-Pagan" does exist?
