Oh my gods. Kill me now.
(Teal, thanks for stepping up. I have no patience anymore.)
Vantin, tarot cards are not witchcraft. They are a tool used for divination.
Wicca, derived from the ancient Scottish word "wicce" (pronounced wee-chay) means Wise One. Usually the village healer, versed in natural medicines and herbology, was the wicce (sounds like witch, huh?) This is the roots of western European pre-Christian, earth-based religion, recognizing both the male and female aspects of all nature.
Modern Wicca is, at its core, the worship of deity through nature, both male and female aspects.
Paganism, as Teal explains above, is any non-Christian religion. (Kudos, Blue)
"Witchcraft" in the modern vernacular, has become a blanket term for magick/spell casting. Magick is nothing more than the manipulation of energy towards a goal. Traditional prayer is magick. Carrying a four leaf clover for luck is magick. Knocking on wood is magick. Wishing on a falling star is magick. The main difference between prayer in its current (read typical) form is that prayer is supplication, where neo-pagan magick is application of energies.
Do your research. There have never been more resources so easily available as there are now.
Everything in the universe is energy. Direct it wisely.
