I have spent my whole life knowing there is more to life than most see.  I never became pagan or wiccan or any other religion although I live many of the principles of such religions.  I believe personal spirituality is important, but religion is not necissary.  I was not actually taught by an adult, but loved mythology and mysticism, as well as metaphysics, from the moment I had names to give them. This said, if I had to call my self something I would use witc or mage.
