What is Witchcraft?  What is Wicca?  How do I perform witchcraft?  You may be asking these questions and more...  Witchcraft is simply the spellcraft of the nature ways, healing and herbs, faery and folk, passing on wisdom that works, walking the wild ways and learning from nature all around.

Some witches choose Wicca as their religion, their way of worshipping the Old Ones in a group into which they have been initiated or through learning from published material and working on their own following a self-dedication to the tradition and its beliefs and practices. Not all witches are Wiccan, nor are all witches religious. Wicca is an Earth-based, Nature focused spirituality, drawing on the beliefs and practices of pantheism, gnosticism, ceremonial magick, witchcraft and the pagan religions of the old worlds.  Wicca is an traditionally an initiatory Tradition, and can work solitary or in a group called a Coven, which can be a small group of two or as big as 13 or more. Wiccans believe in a Goddess & God and celebrate the union between them. Wiccans also perform their ceremonies in a *circle* and work closely with the four elements. Wiccans meet to celebrate the eight Sabbats (witch holidays) and often also celebrate at the monthly Full Moon.

Witches work magick according to personal preference, sometimes solitary and at other times with kindred spirits like Faeries.

For each witch, the Craft is something slightly different. A personal relationship with nature, which may include deities, angels, guardian spirits and other creatures such as faeries, dragons, mermaids and the like.

In my opinion if you practice Witchcraft then you can call yourself a Witch. Being a Witch is a lifestyle not something to be taken lightly. It is a commitment for life. If you are just starting out and learning about the ways of Witchcraft it is best to describe yourself as someone with an interest in Witchcraft - until such time that you start practicing seriously.

A good starting place is reading my Wicca 101 Book recommendations, acquiring some basic supplies and signing up for a good Online Witch School in order to get valuable feedback and a structured learning system.  Once you learn the basics, you can then branch out into other magickal systems such as Faery, Dragon, Egyptian, Druid, Celtic, Green, Moon and more.
