Pagan

Polytheist or Wiccan

Pagan with a capital P typically signals identification with contemporary nature-based or polytheistic religious movements.

Many practitioners prefer the capitalization to mark Paganism as a legitimate religious identity alongside Christianity, Judaism, or Islam: She's a Pagan who follows a Celtic tradition.

The distinction parallels how adherents of other faiths capitalize their religious identities. (Lowercase pagan is the general or historical term.)
