Personally, I do believe in hell. But no god of mine would send someone to enter all suffering because I am a little different. And why would god care? I'm not killing anyone or doing half the things Christians think is good. But I'm not Christian so maybe u shouldn't take my advice. U shouldn't worry about hell tho, honestly if u r that concerned quit and pray to ur god for forgiveness or whatever. Doesn't really matter to me.

I believe lark and mobile have it about pegged. I live in a place full of Christians and because of that I am outdated by those who know about my beliefs. They tell me that I am evil and going to hell, but I don't lose sleep over it, because since I am truly of a different faith, their hell means about as much to me as a Muslim hell or the abyss in fantasy books.I don't begrudge them their beliefs, but I don't share them either.
If you are worried about hell, than you still have Christian beliefs, wish is fine. If you call yourself wiccan though,then think hard on that. If Wicca is your faith, then why are you worried about hell since you are going to be reincarnated?
In the early days of Christianity, Europe was converted by The Holy Roman Empire, and the old pagan religons and traditions were still practiced. People were told over night their King had decreed them to be Christians. Those pagans still had all their old beliefs, traditions and customs. Some the church chose to addopt, or steal, such as the Christmans tree, candle lights in Christmas season, holy wreaths, misletoe. The people still were practicing their faiths. The church would force these peasants to attend services,to collect their taxes, and force feed their view points on them. They had to decree the old ways to be evil, a sin, and against God, and made them criminal acts. They were simply forcing power over these people.
Personally, though I believe in a God, I see no reason a supposedly loving, benevolent father, who died for OUR sins(what ever that means,) would condemn us to burn in a lake of fire forever, for a brief life here on Earth. If he created me, he endowed in me skepticism, and would want me to use it. He has never spoke directly to me, and I have a hard time believing his representatives here on Earth, as they cannot seem to agree among themselves on much at all, and seem to be as evil and flawed as anyone else.
Personally, I believe that Wiccans do NOT go to hell, as we do not believe in Satan. However, People are open to opinions. It really depends on what YOU think and choose to believe in :) Blessed be )0(

As has already been stated, that is up to your belief system and how literally you take the wording of the Bible, I know many witches who practice and are Catholic and don't believe they will go to hell.
Kenia33, you could of started your own topic, or just read the 3 pages of responses that said no. but to answer your question:
Wicca is an earth based religion that believes in reincarnation. there is no heaven or hell, it's just a cycle of life, death and rebirth. Witchcraft is the craft of the wise, it is an ancient practice with no religious connection at its roots. people tend to incorporate spirituality into it, but it is not at its core a religion. it is a craft. [and some don't even cast spells] so witchcraft also has no heaven or hell.
now, most people combine witchcraft with religion and that's fine [it gets a little argumentative when combining two polar opposites like Christianity and Wicca but you can do it] if you wish to practice Christianity/Catholicism and witchcraft that's fine. you need to do some self reflection and determine for yourself what you consider morally right and wrong [you might also wish to speak with your priest, but they have a strong 'no witch' stance so i would follow your own judgement]
so from a pure biblical standpoint you cannot be a witch and a christian, however the two can be combined [look into Christian Witches] so ask yourself if this is right, why or why not, and what you feel is morally wrong. this is your spirituality, so while you can research others views and opinions, we cannot shape your faith.

As has been said many times in this thread, the concept of Hell is a Christian one. Wiccans do not believe in the existence of Hell or any other place of eternal torment.
The majority of Wiccans ascribe to the idea of reincarnation. We believe that after we die we go to a place where the soul can rest and contemplate the lessons learned in this life. We are then reborn again here on this earth.
