Jill: I don't really know, some of my friends say that they aren't Wiccans, but they practice traditional witchcraft...

Paganism is very broad and lots of paths come under that umbrella. I am not Wiccan but I am a hedgewitch by the way I live and the beliefs I hold. I am less formal than coven witches and my rituals are more simple and nature based, although I think all witches follow the Wheel of the Year. Ask 10 witches what is meant by traditional witchcraft and you will get 20 answers.

Wicca is a more specific pagan path with certain common beliefs. Not all wiccans practice witchcraft, and not all who practice witchcraft are wiccan. I'm a general pagan and a Taoist myself, and although I dont' cast spells regularly, I have cast a few.

Wicca is newer, created in the late 60's, if I remember correctly. It also holds a belief in a god and goddess, while some witchcraft traditions only worship a male or female aspect.

It really does depend on the variety of traditional Witchcraft. Without knowing the variety, we just can't answer.

By what do you mean "traditional witchcraft"?
Wiccans are a tradition (denomination) of Paganism.
