This may come off as sounding really dumb, but I don't know what religion I am. I practice witchcraft and worship many different gods and goddesses, have a familiar and a spirit guide. Usually I don't worry about this kind of thing, but lately it's been nagging at me. Any ideas?
You do not sound dumb at all! While you will often see the advise of not worrying about naming your beliefs, it is important to remember that labels help you find other like-minded individuals. When I am asked this similar question I always suggest starting with the -theism.
atheism — the opposite of theism; not believing in any gods or deities deism — believing that god(s) exist, but that they do not take part in our lives. agnosticism — believing we cannot know whether god(s) exist gnosticism — believing that we can know for certain whether a god(s) exist. Gnosticism and agnosticism can be combined with other forms of theism. For example, it is possible to be an agnostic atheist, or a gnostic theist. In common usage, some people group atheism and agnosticism together under the group of nontheism — absence of clear belief in any deity.
The main types of theism are: polytheism — believing that many gods or goddesses exist (sometimes known as paganism) monotheism — belief that only one god exists (Christians, Muslims and Jews believe in monotheism.) ditheism — belief that two gods exist and they are both equal (Wiccans believe in a God and Goddess, or Lord and Lady, who have equal control/power.)
This is another way to group different theisms, based on the nature of the gods. pantheism — god and the universe are the same[1] panentheism — the universe is part of god dystheism or maltheism — that god or the gods are evil.
There is also these types: Animism: believing that everything is alive and spirits are in all things, and that all things have souls. Monolatry: there is (or may be) more than one god, but they are all expressions of the supreme god. Henotheism: there is (or may be) more than one god, but only one is the supreme. Kathenotheism: there is more than one god, but only one at a time should be worshipped. Each is supreme in turn. [source]
You can combine these as you wish. I call myself an eclectic pantheistic polytheist and I have a similar practice to your own. From there would be the terms that fall under the pagan umbrella and you can check out this infographic that gives you a brief listing of some paths that may fall under the term.
