witchcraft vs wicca

I'm kind of new to all of this so I have a couple questions.
I understand that you don’t have to cast a circle before casting spells, so why would you if you chose to do so?
Even though I have no active powers I have had many life regressions when I was a little girl and have astral projected once by accident while meditating. Would I be considered a witch or sorcerer? I do not believe that I was born with abilities, but I have no idea how to explain these incidents when I was a child. I have been studying rituals and spells but haven’t cast anything except blessing objects, like the crystal I always wear. So I’m not sure what to consider myself. I still have not chosen a path for myself because I’m not sure about what I consider myself to be.
I was looking into Wicca. I understand that is a religion, but I do not see myself studying it and participating in the religious aspect of it. I happen to like what they belief in though and what it stands for.
I am mostly into healing and protection with a little soul searching thrown in. What path would you all suggest? Maybe point me in the right direction and I can take it from there.
I have read that spells are more powerful and likely to work if you say them in Latin. Is this true? And if so, is google translator a good enough translator? I would hate to get anything wrong. if I write my own spells, will the phrasing still be the same after I translate it?
Now that I have chosen to practice magick, do I have to worship any gods or goddesses or is this purely a choice?
Thank you for your responses.

Witchcraft is a practice. Spells, curses, rituals, etc.. Wicca is the religion. Wicca is all about nature, peace, energy, although witchcraft can be used within it. Wicca believes

Witchcraft is spells, curses,rituals? Not so! You should study more. I practice witchcraft; I have never cursed anybody, I don't perform rituals, and I have never cast a spell in my life!

I intend on studying and I will continue to study everything. I was just asking to set myself straight and keep from getting confused.

I understand you do not need to do spells, curses, and rituals for witchcraft. Although you can. I said it is a practice. I'm sorry for my mistake, and for the misunderstanding. Although, I said etcetera. It's not just spells, rituals, and curses. It is the belief in magical abilities, spiritualism. I'm sorry.

Witchcraft is magical abilities yes! Spiritualism no! There is nothing supernatural about witchcraft. It is as natural as breathing! It is "what it says on the tin": it's a craft!
