WitchyBoy Tari_Leralonde I have heard 'Wiccan' and 'Witch' used interchangeably. there is a qupote that says, "all wiccans are witches but not all witches are wiccan." so they are somewhat interchangeable but not universally, for example i am a witch who follows the wiccan faith.
Yeah, exactly. Not every Witch is a Wiccan, but every Wiccan is a witch. Like... all Concords are Grapes, but not all Grapes are Concords.
As to Wizard and Witch, I think that's up to the individual. Neither has a set of explicitly prescribed beliefs, unlike Wicca, so its difficult to say whether they mean the same thing. But in the Pagan community, "Wizard" has acquired a fluffy connotation from Harry Potter, where as "Witch" has not. So, if you call yourself a Wizard, some people may assume that you've read Harry Potter one to many times. Still, I think it's up to the individual. If the title calls to you, by all means use it biggrin

Quote: wizard c.1440, "philosopher, sage," from M.E. wys "wise" (see wise (adj.)) + -ard. Cf. Lith. zynyste "magic," zynys "sorcerer," zyne "witch," all from zinoti "to know." The ground sense is perhaps "to know the future." The meaning "one with magical power" did not emerge distinctly until c.1550, the distinction between philosophy and magic being blurred in the Middle Ages. As a slang word meaning "excellent" it is recorded from 1922.
I suppose it COULD be used interchangably, but face it, the public has a hard enough time swallowing the word 'witch', why bring up imagery of Harry Potter for them? xp
