Am I Wiccan or Pagan?

[wiccan_sk8er]

I'm a little confused on which one I really am.
I'll give a brief little description on the things I believe in,
and the traditions I do, and if someone would please let me
know which one they think I am closest to. Thanks! =)

Okay, so I believe in an all-powerful being.
I don't know who it is or what it is,
but I just believe that some higher power made us.
I call him Pan (the greek god of harvest)

Of course, I also believe in the Mother Goddess (mother earth)
and those are the two deities I pray to.
I do magic (duh) and my spells work.
My spells tend to involve herbs, food, candles, incense and chants.

I wear a pentacle (pentagram) and believe that's where the highest power comes from. I use it in my spells and charms.

I believe in reincarnation, and I believe in life after death.
I do not believe in hell, or the devil,
but I believe there's a place we go after we die
(when we're ready of course, bc I think we have several lives that we have to live first.)

That's basically it. If anyone knows which one is more relatable to me, thank you so much =) blessed be!

All Wiccans are Pagan.

If you're trying to work out whether you're a Wiccan, the way to tell is pretty easy: if you have to ask, you're not.

Wicca is an initiatory religion. If you've been initiated by a coven lineaged through initiation to Gardner, you're a Wiccan, and if you haven't been, you're not. That's essentially it... Wicca is a religion you learn and practice by experiencing its Mysteries and participating in its rituals.

You are a ditheistic Neo-Pagan witch.

I agree with Sanguina Cruenta. You're not truly a Wiccan unless you've been initiated into a legitimate, lineaged coven.
People who claim to be Wiccan but don't meet that requirement are misusing the term (usually unintentionally).

I believe this too. :3

Haha cool smile yay us.

you both made good points! And i was kind of initiated into the wiccan religion, bc like 4 years ago when I first started learning about Wicca i was in a ceremony to get initiated into it. But idk. I think I'm just going to classify myself as Pagan.

What tradition were you initiated into?

If you have to ask whether you're Wiccan or Pagan you're not Wiccan. You can always claim to be pagan so long as you don't worship the Abrahamic God.
