That is my choice as a human not as a Witch. If you think about it Christianity could be called a Cult also. But thank you for your insight and opinions. But I still say Witches should be seperated from Wiccans thats all.
Because there seperate beliefs. Not because one is better etc.


Definition of a cult is : A system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.

So yes, all religions with an "icon" or "God-head" are a cult. It's not a bad thing, it's just a word.

True Witchcraft dates back to the Greco-Roman Cult of Hekate.

Witch Craft dates back to millenia before the Graeco-Roman pantheon !

Occultist, if you read through this "wiccan" thread, you will find that few of us take any notice of the thread heading. There are many non-wiccans here.

When it comes to pantheons, in my opinion, both the Craft and wicca are essentially British, therefore the only relevant pantheon would be Celtic.
Gardner did not create a new religion. He assembled it, like a jigsaw, from pre-existing bits and pieces around a modified Craft core.

Take a look in here

Then in that light perhaps there should be a separate board for Catholics all Catholics are Christians but not Christians are catholic? Same basic principle; Maybe it was just to save space etc. But the main question is does it really matter?

Matters not iota, Flowers. The old Craft is the original trunk and wicca is just a new branch off it.

I am sure a Christian wouldnt want to be called a Satanist although there many similarities in the 2 beliefs. It was a suggestion no big deal thats all Blessings to you and yours dear friend and you go in peace as well.
There is absolutely nothing in common between Christianity and Satanism.
