hello all, here is clarification on something often confused:
a witch is someone who practices witchcraft, regardless of religion. anyone can be one!
a wiccan follows wicca
a pagan follows a form of paganism, which wicca falls under
wiccan or pagan =/= witch!

you can be a wiccan witch or a pagan witch (or even a christian witch or any other). but you don& #39;t even need to be religious to be a witch.
I& #39;ve been answering a lot of questions to a handful of people lately about witchy things so I thought this was important to share :)

as far as being a "born witch":
this idea comes from people having a history of witchcraft in their family. people like myself who have an ancestry of spiritual practitioners may have a stronger connection, but even if you don& #39;t, you can still practice witchcraft just the same.

many people probably practice some small forms of witchcraft in their daily lives without realizing it! many things you do come from witchcraft & pagan roots (wishing on candles, "washing off the day", visualizing, knocking on wood, keeping cats, rings on certain fingers & more!)
but being a "born witch" isn& #39;t like being a witch vs a muggle in Harry Potter lol, it is simply referring to your family history. so don& #39;t let that deter you from being interested in witchcraft, although I will always recommend you do research on your ancestry for it!
