Wiccan vs. Witch

Some people wonder why I wear a five-pointed star in a circle, then say "No" when they ask if I'm Wiccan.

They don't know the difference between Wiccan and Witch, and if I try to explain my take on it, I see the eyeballs glazing.

Should I lie and just say "Yes"? "Well, kinda-sorta," which is also a lie?

I'm not Wiccan. I split with the Baptist Church because I was tired of other people making ethical (or non-ethical) and/or lifestyle decisions for me as much as for any other reason. Why should I go right to another church that wants to tell me what they think I should think and do?

I'm a Witch. I do spellwork. I acknowledge a multiplicity of Divinity. I observe the Moons and the Seasons, the quarters and the cross-quarters. I do certain community/charity work with my Pent right out front and while I don't start the conversation, I will discuss it.

Thoughts/opinions?
