@xirin: Thank you so much for your answers; they're extremely helpful. Do you have a favorite card, by the way?
(Do let me know if these questions are getting to be too much. I can always do research on my own, but I've always enjoyed asking others first.)
@Salem: I'm sorry for your losses and misfortunes. It's good that you have something to turn to, though.
... To be honest, I've actually avoided saying "magic" (which I've gathered is also spelled "magick" to differentiate it from "performance magic") and/or "witchcraft" because I wasn't sure if those were appropriate terms for what you practiced. Would you say that they are, though?
(Somewhat related: I'm barely delving into witches and Wicca, and am coming to find that "All Wiccans are witches, but not all witches are Wiccans."
To expand on that as well, there's "All Wiccans are Pagans, but not all Pagans are Wiccans. Finally, some witches are Pagans, but some are not - and some Pagans practice witchcraft, while others choose not to."
Honestly, I'm probably going to be researching for a while.)
