The Difference Between Spirituality and Your Craft

There are a number of books I've read that state within their pages that your spirituality and your craft are not necessarily linked.  For example, a witch can be a witch without being Wiccan.  Basically, they say that witchcraft isn't necessarily only practiced by Wiccans.

Well, that's true.  However, I feel that spirituality, whatever yours might be, will be irrevocably linked with your craft if you practice it.  Witchcraft is a fundamental part of my spirituality: it's how I pray, commune with Spirit and nature, and help to bring positive change into the world.

In the TV series, Charmed, the girls don't really have a spirituality to go with their powers and craft.  It's a little alien to me because it's so much a part of my faith.  I wear a Goddess pendant, not a pentacle.  Not because I don't resonate with the pentacle, but because the Goddess is a closer symbol of my spirituality.



What is the difference between your spirituality and the craft?  Do you find a difference, or is your craft similar to mine in that it walks hand in hand with your faith?
