Hello everyone,
I do not claim to be a Pagan, Wiccan or a Witch(yes, I am aware of my username.) I have read up on them in past years simply out of curiousity. As of right now I claim to be Agnostic, believing in a higher power(s) or being but I'm not quite sure what or who that would be.
Basically since the age of 13 (I am currently 18.) I've been on a religion search you could call it. I renounced my Chatholic upbringing because of thier ways and teachings. It didn't help that my mother especially was cramming her religion down my throat. I didn't like how they handled things so agenst my mothers wishes I left the Catholic church. Deep down she still see's me as one even though I have tried to explain to her that I don't agree with thier views. My father (he's not Catholic, hes a Protestant), he wasn't really mad that I left, he was mad at the fact that I don't necessarily believe in god. Both of my parents are strong believers in the bible. I see no problem with that what so ever. My view is 'to each their own religion'. I just wish they could understand my need to search for what is right for me.
I do remember somethings I have read on Wicca and Witchcraft, I've never really read up on Paganism at all. What I have read was many years ago and some of it has slightly faded from my memory.
What is the diffrence between the three? Paganism, Wicca, and Witchcraft.
I wanted to ask those who practice them, or at least know more about them than what I do, so that way if I have a question I can have it possibly answered.
