Witch not Wiccan

I am a Witch not a Wiccan I do not follow the Teachings of Gerald Gardner.
shouldnt there be a seperate thread for us?
Wiccans can be Witches but not all Witches are Wiccans. Just trying to clarify. Thank you.

How would you define yourself as a Witch?

<-- or the teachings of founder Gerald Gardner Exactly Medium Laura.
Witchcraft is the practice of magick, whereby the material world is altered through an application of will/cast/spell/hex/potion/Ritual etc, by the Witch.
Witchcraft is a magickal practice, but one that has no spiritual or religious connections. Wicca on the other hand, is a religion founded by Gerald Gardner and those who follow it are called Wiccans. Wiccan's can practise way of old cast etc, But not all Wiccan's do this.
Wiccans have a rede created by the founder Gerald Gardner Witches do not have a rede we practise intent and purpose/Karma if you will. There is a huge diff between us. Witches arent good or bad or any color of the rainbow either we are all because nature and humanity is all. I am good cause I am a good person not because I am a Good Witch.
But none the less 2 completely different entities.

I practice Magick, but don't consider myself a witch.
True Witchcraft dates back to the Greco-Roman Cult of Hekate.

Cult is a strong word for a majority of people who dont believe in a Devil or a God like a Christian God. Dontcha think? I do rituals for Hecate and the Horned God Baphomet.
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.
