Witchcraft, Wicca + Paganism║The Differences

You know when I was very young I had a very good soul

You know there's stoicism there's realism there's theres common sense and I could go on and on about these things

Thank you so much.

this helps so much, just starting my religious self journey and i'll definitely be exploring this culture of paganism and wicca, if anyone has more creators have good videos of explaining stuff i'd love to hear and learn! great video ❤❤

Very clear, thank you.

I'm a wicca, an earth child and an empath. I had a near death experience when having my first child, and I seem to be more in tune with spirits etc

I've never really done any spells, only watching protection chants on YouTube whilst meditating. However, people who mistreat me, always end up with bad karma, but I've never done anything to make it happen

🙏🏻

I’m a practical witch and it really spoke to me when you said someone can be “no religion and still practice witchcraft”. I’m agnostic, but I do also consider myself Wiccan. As a philosophy, magick means shaping the world around you by spell craft over self. In laymen’s terms- spiritual growth through practice.

Witch gods and goddes you practice in

I love your makeup sooo much 💚🖤💚 also thank you for this information, I used to practice stuff like this but never understood differences.. I made moon water, casted “spells” GOOD ONLY BTW!! made love oil, etc. keep doing what you’re doing 🖤

I consider myself an Eclectic pagan witch & an eclectic Wiccan (yes, I am well aware of the controversy that Wicca has) but I’m have trouble connecting to a deity.

What are some good books for witchcraft specifically they do not mention the 3 fold rule or demonize hexing and all that jazz

Do you hold any information on a 'mage' witch, please 🤞

That's really interesting. So, Wiccans can be Pagan, but all Pagans are not necessary Wiccan.
BTW, your alabaster skin is very beautiful!!! ❤️

Still cannot get over how epic this content is. Thank you!

Thank you for the insight . You are beautiful

beginner witch here enjoying finding your channel by accident. you've got a new follower!

Wow, very informative ❤

I have a family member that is a pagan and wiccan witch member ❤..i don't practice these things..I don't condemn those who are into wiccan witch practice s.. there beleaf s❤....I see so much corruption in the church community..money hungry pastor s....

Just found you. Thanks so much for this clear definition lesson 🌀

I am not getting sound.

I am experiencing some weird things which includes seeing some photonic images like desert oasis's pictures and vanishing.They are physically not present in front of me and hearing sounds of people discussing all sorts of things and tapping souncds.My husband says he do not listen to them.Do you have any answer for such things in your religion.Basically viewing dreams too vivid with some pictures which i cannot relate to why are seen.

Thank you for this video! I actually didn't learn as much as I expected, which was great to realize because that means my research has been largely correct so far, which is always a nice feeling! I feel like the umbrella concept and difference between witch and wiccan was supposed to be the most confusing part for most, and that was one of the ones I already had mostly ironed out in my head.

I see this video is from 4y ago and think “oh 2016” but then I do the math I realize with sadness it was posted in 2021 😞

I really enjoyed this explanation and helped me come closer to my family's rare religious framework, requiring esoteric subjects (which is rare, but underlines the important values of masonic morality). There is a form of Wiccan Esotericism that the members know to be "Complexisms of life"

My religion is actually quite rare and is pagan in nature, and is a religion that considers Wiccan and Moral virtues mandatory, as well as a belief in the Supreme.

This is a family tradition so it's is, in the realest sense a secret religion that uses elements of paganism, Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, Abrahamic religion, philosophical practices in occultism, and almost every rite of passage (out of five of these stages) uses rituals, mysticism, witchcraft, primordial/hermetic nature to a heavy and strict degree. It is considered very taboo to twist ideas or haphazardly practice these ideas and ceremonies. This uses a small five tier system (The initiate, or the "first functions" in the family's jargon, then student/child, intermediate, teacher or professional, and finally the doctor/elder.)

This did originate out of rural Finland in the early 30s after Father, Mother, and a few Pagans, Gnostics, and Esoteric Christians had discussed the secret teachings of all ages by MP Hall. This was held in a small, 1 year conference within an isolated research building in karelia.
It was concluded by them that many strict codes of ours arose from hermeticism or wicca. It is also traditional for a member to become a mason, although really only optional (being both a mason and AMORC member).
The stict codes surround nature, universal education, religious belief, morality, harmony, and the strict adherence to the consideration of equality in others.
We normally do not consider deity as that is a conplex subject (simply God is an emanating force to us).
I asked mother what should I say I am in preparation of the first Masonic degree, adamantly she brought up the unspoken yet very tight-knit form of Wiccan with many different types of Esotericism.
The entirety of the family considers themselves of the following: Pagans, Theistic, or Hermetic.
Asking my dad, he said complexism originally founded its name by the series of twists and turns of the universal analysis of Hall's work.
It gets a bit messy here, but instead of being an umbrella, it is a ouroboros centered web of beliefs, by this I mean they interconnect by the sciences of nature and astronomy.
Present day practices are mandatory rituals and lessons with many ceremonial things taken very seriously. The belief is solemn in general, for many writings relate to the peaceful world, death, the celestial, physical, and the hidden.
Many say that doesn't consider itself to be wicca, but that has been sternly stressed to me that I must acknowledge it as such for its fundamental principles are Wiccan.

This is a highly academic and serious natured faith or creed, with many of us being in either college or research related positions.

To give an example of the worldview in a scenario: mother had visited a church. Later in the sermon, the pastor had declared science of nature braindead... which had made mother apoplectic at the notion, father had temperance, but still had verbally voice his disappointment with the claim. Mother told me that we do this because we don't have the authority to say anything absolute about where science ends and religion starts, or where religion ends and science starts. We do not have a single entity as a named deity, but out main symbols are ouroboros, the Mandelbrot fractal shape, astrological and nature illustrations, and the 4th dimensional Tessaract (if spelled right). Dante and Hiram seem to be mentioned alot by grandfather, and my brother, George H., had published a article of scripture explaining saturn, venus, and luminaries of Magic or Mysticism.
This is only one of many under the complex, and hard to explain umbrella (especially when your family's borrowing of practices outside paganism from secret fraternities and occultism amplifies confusion)

Summed up in five words, Astronomy, Nature, Solidarity, Pagan/Wiccan values, and knowledge.
This is a sect direct to Finnish Paganism, which is very means of the origins being through the kalevala along with the Florentine Story of Dante Alighieri and the Divine Comedy as well.
This only gets more confusing, as it takes a considered mindful approach to nature's being and connection.

Thanks for clarifying that for me! Helped a lot.

I’m very new to all of this and I think I want to be Wiccan but are there different types of Wicca I don’t really understand that bit

I hate when people don't understand or rather don't take the time to understand what is beyond the normal perspectives

Like to know where I can join any off them more witchcraft

I have to pic

this was such a helpful video, thank you so much!

I have a question, can you be Wiccan and not consider yourself pagan? I practice more pagan-ish things but I consider myself a Wiccan. Is that okay?

Thank you! New to this all and wanting to learn so working my way through this playlist and it’s superb. Your explanation of the differences has by far been the clearest explanation I’ve found. Especially happy to see you can be an atheist and also the message in the first video that you don’t have to decide what type of witch you are or want to be, that will develop over time. Great series and a thanks @GrumpyOldCrone for signposting to you as a reliable resource of information.

You are so cool your video,s ar a inspiration for me😊

If you look in the bibel you see witchraft and some church to.
