Welcome to Gaia! ::

What do you think the primary differences are between the modern witchcraft movement and traditional witchcraft?

I would have thought the eclectic nature of modern witchcraft would stand out the most against traditional craft. If traditional craft is, in fact, traditional, it has to follow set route and paths. Whereas, with modern craft you can seemingly chuck a variety of ingredients together and come out with something usable.

I;ve had some traditional witches tell me that witchcraft is by it's nature eclectic.

And I would agree with them. Witchcraft as a whole is eclectic but is the point of traditional craft not to follow the traditions laid down by those in our past?

True. Again I think it depends on the context. Whats traditional witchcraft to some might not be considered traditional witchcraft by others.

I've seen too many wildly different definitions of "traditional witchcraft" to have any idea of what someone means by it when they mention it. I've seen people use it to foster their own pompous superiority complex. I've seen people use it to indicate a rigidity in tradition not found in much of the rest of Neopaganism. I've seen people intend it to correspond to old-style folk practices that are flexible and not rigid at all. Related to that I've seen people use it as synonyms for things like "hedge witch" or "wild witch" or "green witch." I've seen it used by people who for whatever reason don't want to use the "Wicca" word.

In short, the term just plain confuses me.

I think regardless of variations on names trad witchcraft seems to involve folklore. An aspect of tradition

I somewhat iffy when it comes to tradition. Tradition says I need to be able to read/write in Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. I really do not want to learn Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. It really doesn't seem necessary, you know?
