leads to a lengthy set of definitions and explanations that is pretty good! very up to date with the latest scholarship which is always nice to see...

you sometimes find some witches who call themselves "wiccan" when they really aren't..and the opposite is also true, some people who practice Wicca prefer to call themselves witches....I personally find the use of the word 'wiccan" as a noun or adjective to be a misnomer as neither Gardner nor Sanders ever used it that way....
In my experience, not very many neo-pagans, witches, Wiccans, what have you, are very well-informed about their own tradition or community's history. This leads to a whole lot of confusion when laypeople seek to find out more, to find the one true answer to questions they may have. A rampant eclecticism has characterized this modern religious path from the beginning...and it will probably always be so.

Modern pagans are those interested in, among other things, and not necessarily including the following:
the concept of nature as sacred or divine, alternative spirituality, maybe performing the occasional ritual or spell or seasonal festival, meditation and herbalism...maybe they are into tarot cards or runes...maybe they attend the occasional pagan gathering...maybe they believe in karma and reincarnation...but they are not witches. There are also a number of ceremonial magicians and even some Satan worshippers out there; but they are not witches either. But there is no moratorium on the use or non-use of this word. Anyone can do anything and call themselves anything they want, ya know?

John Salvi thought he was a good little Catholic, for example...
