Yes, there are different types of witches. Each with their own practices, some of their own beliefs. The main difference between Witch's that I see is this. You do not have to be Wiccan to be a witch. I heard a quote, "Not all Witches are Wiccan, but all Wiccans are Witchs" Make sense? Email me for further discussion :) For now, here are some of the different types of witches, or "Traditions" there are. Enjoy and email me if you find something i forgot.
	Kitchen Witch: It practices by home and hearth, mainly dealing with practical sides of the religion, magick, the elements and the earth. Ceremonial Witchcraft: Mainly use ceremonial magick (obviously) in their practices. They commonly use Qabbalistic magick or Egyptian magick in their rituals. Satanic Witch: This deosn't exist. Why? Witches don't believe in Satan remember. Celtic Wicca: Goes by the elements, the Ancient Ones and nature. They are usually healers or respect them highly. They work with plants, stones, flowers, trees, the elemental people, the gnomes and the fairies. Eclectic Witch: Deosn't follow a particular religion or tradition. They study and learn from many different systems and use what works best for them. British Traditional Witch: A mix of Celtic and Gardenarian beliefs. They train through a degree process and the covens are usually co-ed. Alexandrian Tradition: They are said to be modified Gardenarian. Gardenarian Tradition: Follow a structured root in ceremony and practice. They aren't as much vocal as others and have a fairly foundational set of customs. Dianic Tradition: Includes a lot of different traditions in one. Their prime focus now-a-days is the Goddess. It is the more feminist side of 'The Craft'. Pictish Witchcraft: It's originally from Scotland and is a solitary form of The Craft. It is more magickal in nature than it is in religion.
