"Traditional Craft" is largely fictional, and entirely so if you think they follow the "Horned God." There have been people who have worked folk magic for centuries. However, they would not have called it "the Craft." More importantly here, they were not worshiping pagan gods. They were Christians. The idea of witches historically honoring a Horned God comes from Margaret Murray, and anthropologist who published on subjects she knew very little about and who flat out falsified evidence when it suited her. her works have been debunked for decades.
Wicca is not Witchcraft and never was. Witchcraft is practiced depend ant on the practitioner. If you're looking for traditional Witchcraft then simply practice using simple means. You don't need to hold a label over your head to make your practices legit. Labels are bad and service only to segregate rather than to integrate.
Witches don't worship anyone. Witchcraft is a craft and if you think Witches worship a "Horned God" then you're mislead. Witchcraft is NOT a religion and thus has no religious affiliations such as deities, worship, dogma or commandments. Witches work their craft through intuition and study (oh and Witches who work in groups, DO work in "Covens". The word "Coven" is not limited to the Wiccan religion so it is a correct term).
If you want to practice Witchcraft, then simply study plants, and their uses, as well as other practices that might be interesting to you. If's your craft, practice it how YOU want.
