Personally I prefer Wiccan, since Wicca and Witchcraft are two different things, and since I haven't really done any magick yet, I can't really be considered a Witch sweatdrop . I kind of prefer the religious aspect (I really like magick, I just haven't done it) so I am really more of a Wiccan.

It depends. If I want to make a point without giggles from the people around me I'll use Wiccan, I find Wiccan instuls more respect.
I use the word witch if I'm looking for the conversation to blow over. And if I just want the conversation over.
People tend not to buy into Witch as refering to Wicca. Sorry to anyone who finds this a better term for Wicca. I've found Wiccan more of a solid unchangable word, where as witch seems to be throw about more.

With me, when people ask what religion i am, i tell them that i am wiccan, and then answer their confused blank stares with "im a witch" then, from there, they ask a bunch of questions that i sit and answer; such as "DUDE!!! can you turn me into a FROG?!" with answers like "no...that doesnt work because thats not what its like, and the wiccans rede prohibits it based on the 3 fold rule which says....." and then they lost interest...so basically, i havent a preference.

spitchick With me, when people ask what religion i am, i tell them that i am wiccan, and then answer their confused blank stares with "im a witch" then, from there, they ask a bunch of questions that i sit and answer; such as "DUDE!!! can you turn me into a FROG?!" with answers like "no...that doesnt work because thats not what its like, and the wiccans rede prohibits it based on the 3 fold rule which says....." and then they lost interest...so basically, i havent a preference. Well the first time I told someone, it just so happened to be four uber-christians. I had no idea. They freaked out, just over the fact that I siad I don't believe in their god. Then I explained to them that this is America. And that we have this new-fangle idea called "freedom of religion." and they counter with "Yea, but you SHOULD be christian." I was so sick I about threw up. I don't know that people were so closed minded. Just thinking of the memory makes me sick. Anyway the point is I don't tell people any more. My best friends have concluded that by no chance I am Christian, or Jewish, or any other big name faith. (and the kicker is I wear a pentacle necklace every day, and my one project in class has a huge pentacle on it.) biggrin wink

I'm both, so I use both, but if I don't know the person too well, I use Wiccan. If they ask about being a witch after that, I say yes.
