Wicca is a form of Paganism, Paganism is a term for many, many paths.

Wicca has been explained many times in this forum before, particularly look for posts written by Lark.

As for your interests, many paths incorporate them. My advice is, do what feels right, do what you want to do and follow your own path- it needn't be an established religion, or even have a name.

If what you practice turns out to be a religious path, then great, you have a name. If not, it doesn't matter!

Perhaps in deciding whether Wicca is the religion that you wish to follow you might want to start with the post What Wicca Is and Isn't at http://www.spellsofmagic.com/read_post.html?post=637268

If that sounds like something you'd like to pursue then look at the thread Main Wicca Posts in the Wicca Forum. There is a lot of good information about Wicca to be found in that section. And I'd be glad to answer any specific questions about Wicca that you might have.

personally, my mother is a wiccan. which is part of being a pagan. so wiccan is in my blood.

Wicca is a religion. It is not passed down genetically, so it wouldn't be correct to say it is in your blood. One has to choose to be Wiccan and then do the study, work, and practice that the religion requires before it would be correct to claim to follow that religion.

Wicca is a form of paganism. It does not flow through your blood. It's not a bloodline it's a religion. And your path is your choice kk1433.

Your blood doesn't automatically decide your path.
