"All Witches are not Wiccan and all Wiccans are not witches"

I went through about 7 pages to see if there was a similar topic and haven't found any. Now I just looked at the titles and if one seemed like it was going to be similar I clicked. So if there is one, sorry I missed it.

One thing I would like to stress, since I haven't seen it talked about here yet, and I wished someone had told me before.

Witchcraft and Wicca are NOT the same thing.

Wicca is a religion. Witchcraft is a practice, which can be practiced with any religion. Wicca focuses more on the divinity. More on the Lord and Lady. Wicca is a more light, love, religion. Wiccan's practice witchcraft when they do spells. To be Wiccan, you don't have to do spells.

Witches do not follow the Rede. And I wish more Wiccans would realize this. I personally do not believe in Karma, 3-fold or the Rede (which again why would I? I am a witch)

There are witches who preform curses/hexes. (I'm also tired of people saying "Well you aren't a witch if you preform a hex"....bullpoop)

Like I said, I just wish someone would of told me. When I became interested in Wicca at 13, I was a fluffy bunny. The reason why people get so confused on Wicca/Witchcraft is because authors nowadays use them interchangeably and they are not.
