No it is not. Just because you are a pagan does not make you a wiccan. Pagan is a blanket term. There are so many different pagans.
The actual definition: "Paganism is a term which, from a western perspective, has come to connote a broad set of spiritual or religious beliefs and practices of natural or polytheistic religions. The term can be defined broadly, to encompass many or most of the faith traditions outside the Abrahamic monotheistic group of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This group may include the Dharmic religions, which incorporate seemingly pagan characteristics like nature-worship, idol-worship, polytheism and reverence of female deities, and are thus diametrically opposite to the Abrahamic faiths. "
I personally am a Celtic Pagan. I follow the Celtic traditions. I honor the God and the Goddess.
I do have an altar, crystals, candles, runes and tarot cards. Along with a cauldron, herbs, mortar and pestal. But with out these things I am still a pagan. It was a couple of years before I even aquired these.

That is cool that you can learn it with your mother. My sister and I are wiccan. We have been learning alot lately. Some of my family have a problem with it but that is okay. They just do not understand. My son is learning from me. There is alot to learn.
