Christian Witches

Forgive me if this has already been pointed out, as I didn't get a chance to read the entire page.

If you think of everything, including spirits such as Jesus Christ, as energy, then it's quite possible to practice witchcraft and also pray to Jesus. This days i practice witchcraft very much in lots of things and topics ,and I do find myself praying to my god(and the Angels, Spirit Guides, God, , and my Higher Self) when I really want help with something. I figure that they are all powerful and they all have the ablitiy to help so I don't limit myself to just one deity.

Many people who have been raised Christian but then converted to paganism/witchcraft, find that it has become a habit for them to pray to Jesus when they need something, and it's not something they particularly want to give up. So, since they obviously don't believe in the Bible, or they wouldn't be practicing witchcraft in the first place, it's easy to see how they can be a witch AND believe in Jesus Christ. And since believing in Jesus Christ is technically what makes you Christian, there is actually no need to believe in the entire Bible. (Actually, I think Jesus may tell you to believe in the Bible, but that was also before it was edited beyond all recognition, so who knows what it said originally?)

I used to have a lot of trouble understanding the term "Christian Witch" and I would argue with people about how you couldn't actually be a Christian Witch due to the Bible saying that witchcraft was wrong. But, the more I opened my eyes and my mind, the more I was able to see that you can pretty much be ANYTHING that you want in this world. It doesn't matter what other people believe or what the Bible says. If you feel an affinity with Jesus, then worship Jesus! That doesn't mean you have to believe in the Bible and follow everything it says to do. Even Christians don't actually follow the Bible (how many Christian women do you know that cover their heads?)

Want to practice witchcraft and pray to Jesus at the same time? Who is going to stop you? It may be confusing to some people but it's not going to stop you from actually doing that if that's what you desire.

I used to not understand how gay people could be Christian. Nearly all of the gay people I had ever met were Christian. I couldn't comprehend how they would want to be involved in a religion that despised them. But now I can see that it's simple to understand... They were raised Christian. They found out that they were gay. That didn't change the fact that they felt a connection to Jesus Christ. It's difficult to change habits and beliefs that have been ingrained since you were a child.

Hope that helps explain things some. I'm sorry to hear thatfew people really think that christians can not practice witchcraft, and few of them even have bad purpuses.My ownfreind (whom I still see regularly since we live close to each other) doesn't want her friends to know thatshe is not a Christian, but that is mainly because I have told her that kids will be more accepting of her if she doesn't mention it. It's still extremely rare in Tennessee to find anyone who isn't Christian. This doesn't affect me on a day-to-day basis, but it could easily affect a kid who is in school. They could be ostracized, teased, or even bullied if the other kids found out that their family wasn't Christian. Kids can be very cruel to one another.

You could point out to every one in such a bad situation the fact that most kids never talk about religion at all. It's not something that people generally discuss in casual conversation. That might helpeveryone understand that it's not the huge deal she thinks it is.

People may feel guilty becausethey sometimes wishthey had a "normal" parents (i am talking about kids of witches) whowere Christians. There are christian witches, as i said, and it is possible, but not all people like it so much. The christianity forbids witchcraft, but we do not have to listen to all of what the bible says. For example, i am a jewish witch and i am proud of it.
Few christians do not do it, and few of them are deeply up to witchcraft, and they can prove it is possible.
Brightest Blessings,

christianity is a monotheistic faith, where there is one god and one god only. wicca is duotheistic, and therefore the two dont mix. however, you can be a christian witch, since in order to be a witch you can be of any faith you want.

I believe that all religions are connected even wicca. The truth is all religious belive in a god or goddess or many. The basic idea behind these gods is to show the way but to let us grow and learn and love.

I don't believe it's possible to be a Christian Wiccan. How can you be two religions with some very differing moral codes and beliefs? It's like being a Jewish Muslim.

Also Wicca and witchcraft are not the same thing. Sure you can be a Christian and practice witchcraft (if you don't follow certain beliefs in Christianity). Wicca is a religion, witchraft is an art or tool.

"How can you be two religions with some very differing moral codes and beliefs?"

It's called synergy, though a Jewish Muslim is not a very good example as Islam is more of an update on Judaism than a wholly separate religion.

But I challenge your assertion that two rather different religions like Christianity and Wicca cannot be combined purely because of the differing beliefs and moral codes held by these religions as separate entities. I don't challenge your assertion on purpose, but rather my own existence does so.

Hi, I'm a Muslim pagan, how may I help you?

Greetings,
I know some one who have have been a Christian Witch for thirty two years and a psychic councilor for twenty seven. Christian witchcraft takes the fear and intolerance out of the Bible and out of Christianity and this is why I have opened an on line church called: The Church Of The Christian Witch.

It is time the true teachings of Jesus Christ were heard. Christian Witchcraft has always been a polytheistic religion. (More Pagan then Christian.) As you know, the concept of Christianity came after the death of Christ and in fact the name Christ itself was given to many a human being in those times. Christ is not the true last name of Jesus.

Christ was used as a sir name, the name Christ is used in same way Goody was used in the fifteenth century. The name Goody was given to all women who where upstanding citizens. A.K.A. Salem Mass Witch trials: Goody Proctor and Goody Rhodes.

Although it is true that most Christian Witches do not believe in the traditional Christian beliefs they do acknowledge Christs humanitarian teachings.

This is what separates a Christian Witch from a Catholic, Baptist, Mormon or protestant. Most Christians are brought up on the self serving interpretations of the original Bible. (I say self serving because each leaders interpretations serve to benefit their own beliefs as well as the individual beliefs of their church. Christianity has too many denominations to claim Christs teachings as their own. The teachings of Christ are open to interpretation by all.

Christian witchcraft is the only faith that takes the fear and intolerance out of the Bible and out of Christianity. A Christian Witch is an open minded, free thinking individual who is encouraged to think for themselves using the principals of humanity as their guide.

To personally serve Christ's teachings, I use my psychic gifts to help bring closure to people's lives involving, missing people cases and murders all over the country as well as helping people with personal problems while instructing them on how to live a more non-violent humanitarian lifestyle through opening their own psychic channels and redirecting their negativity into creativity. I also write gospel and environmental music and I am a musical therapist and art instructor for the elderly, disabled and infirmed.

As a Child I was Wiccan for a couple of years, ages ten to twelve but my Catholic Celtic roots always seemed to steer me back to Christianity. In fact many of the women and men in my own Christian coven consider themselves to be Wiccan/Christian Witches. We even have a Buddhist monk.
To say the least, we have a very free and interesting group where all are welcome.

It is a shame that in this modern society many Witches, Wiccans and Pagans that I meet and whom I have known do not understand the principals of a Christian Witch. In fact, many young people today use witchcraft as a fanciful escape rather than a source for inspiration, spirituality and Earth worship.

Being a witch means much more then make up and clothes. It is not the outside image of a human being that people will gravitate towards, it is the depth of the human soul that people will remember. The compassion and kindness that a human being reflects outward to the world is the greatest gift a human being owns. This is what makes a true witch become a supreme supernatural being.

From the dust of the Earth all life came and back into the dust we all must go. Our natural order is to live our lives as Earth Guardians and protectors of all life.

My beliefs are this: Although the Bible and many Christians shun witchcraft, it is no secret that the original Bibles God and Christ himself used their own powers of witchcraft and psychic awareness to rule the nations.

In the American dictionary Witchcraft is defined as being the practice of sorcery or magic. The definition is in the dictionary and cannot be disputed. So, with that knowledge wouldn't you agree that parting the red sea, turning water into wine, sending plagues and curses to destroy entire lands, healing telepathically with the touch of a hand and making burning bushes speak are all feats of paranormal activity and supernatural magic? In essence they are feats of witchcraft.

It is my belief that no religion should practice or preach intolerance or sacrifice of any kind. All religions should teach humanity. Any religion that is against gay rights, animal rights, Women's rights, human rights, witchcraft and other religious beliefs are also against humanity. I do not condone negative religious practices. I believe in standing up for what is right even if you are standing alone. Human beings are both God and Goddess. If we do not do Gods work, Gods work will not get done. Everyone is responsible for their own actions and reactions.

(You Can Start A War With One Disagreement. You can prevent A War When All Parties Involved Agree To Act Humanly.)

Both God and Goddess are an individual's choice of faith. No deity is greater than another for no human being is greater than another. Human beings are not the most important life forms on this earth, however, there are some individual human beings who believe that they are the most important, because of their supposed capacity for higher intellect. I believe, that all life forms on this planet were created equal regardless of their race, color, creed, religion, species or personal and sexual preference.
One act of humanity is bliss one act of ignorance is devastating.

No species on this planet can claim a higher intellect unless they use that intellect to benefit all life forms on this Earth without excluding anyone or anything that breaths life. As long as you act humanly pray to whomever you choose and allow others to pray to whom they choose.

My God is the God of humanity. My Goddess is the mother of my God. The Bible is a great book to read but one must remember it is a fictional story filled with paranormal activity. When interpreted with an open mind. The Bible teaches us not to follow the barbaric teachings of a God but to use our own free will and humanity while we follow our own clear conscience. To explain my affiliation with Christianity I must say that those who read the Bible with an open mind know that Jesus Christ was a liberal who loved everyone. The only thing Christ was against was the inhumanities he saw in his short life time. Jesus Christ was one of the first noted humanitarians in human history but others have also done great things to benefit our Earth and society human beings like, Gandhi, Buddha (Who was before Christ) Chief Seattle, The Dali Lama, Martin Luther King Jr, Abraham Lincoln, John Denver, Michael Landon, Princess Diana, Mother Theresa, John and Robert Kennedy and so many more. I hope this was insightful.

I believe that the Earth needs more defenders not more people who stand in defense. No human being can claim the right to a holy title or a holy existence when All human beings are flawed. The only measure of one's holiness is in the humane acts that they commit while they are serving the Earth and all of her life forms.

(Gandhi once said: The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.) If you can harm any life form without remorse, then you have no respect for life and therefore you have no respect for humanity.

The Seven Rules To Christian Witchcraft Are:

1. Harm not one living thing for all life is created equal regardless of color, race, species, size, religion, personal or sexual preference.
2. Always be kind, compassionate, respectful and tolerant of all life and never cast stones.
3. Protect, defend, heal, educate and lend a hand to all life and replenish that which you take from the earth for your survival.
4. Banish all hate, cruelty, violence and negativity while you think humanely before you act and speak on all matters.
5. Advocate for those who cannot advocate for themselves and stand up for what is right, regardless if you are standing alone.
6. Channel your negativity into acts of creativity and always let positive thoughts and actions rule your life.
7. Alter your attitude and you can alter your entire existence as well as altering the existence of all the lives you touch.

A witch is anyone who casts spells. Even Satanists and Christians could be considered witches if they cast spells and do magic, but they aren't Wiccan because they follow a different religion than Wiccans. A Wiccan is someone who follows the religion of Wicca, which is an officially recognized religion just like Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism. If you get nothing else from this, remember that "Wicca" is the name of the religion and "Wiccans" are the followers of Wicca. Here we talk about christian witches, and as i said a wiccan is not the same as a witch, so a christian witch is not a christian wiccan.
Love, Peace and Blessings,

Oh, Bardou, sorry, i did not see your second post, ignore what i have told you.

To be a christain wiccan, one would have to figure it out themself! I, in fact, am a christain wiccan, and it's totally possible. I believe in God and Jesus like any other christain, but I also believe in magick and witchcraft as long as it harms no one. I believe all the "Gods" like Athena, Zeus, etc. are actually people that specialized in a certain type of magick.

I have thought of this many times. This was interesting.
