Christian Witch?

actually, im also curious about what i am doing now because my family including myself is religious in christian..but i know i have the skill of doing magic and i cant put it off..i believe that to be a witchcraft or anything is not bad unless your doing this for evil porpuses..even if who you are, even if your a vampire,and then you do good, the heaven will always open the gate for you..and thats my priority.thank you..!! :D

lol! Thanks, gerbieindac. Also is that the witch from the movie witches in your icon? Absolutely loved that movie as a child.

i too come from a christian past, and i too ask the same questions, so i do understand exactly where your comeing from.

I have been confused greatly during my decisions between Christianity and Magick. Yet at the end I believe in a harmony existing between the two religions, a Christian Wiccan rises from those ashes, and so I wish to remain.

I think my subconscious was trying to tell me that it's alright to return to my Christian path, even with everything that I've learned. As if it was trying to tell me that it's alright to be both a Christian and a witch. I kept hearing a gospel song in my sleep. I honestly don't listen to gospel and usually hate most gospel songs but this one was like saying: It's fine. Go back. You can be both. At least that's how I'm hopping to take it. The lyrics were rather incoherent but I kept hearing five words repeatedly. "Shine down on me."

so first, while there are demons and ghosts, i doubt they're on this forum, lest you count if someone on this forum had one reading over their shoulder, second, vampires, not getting into it, but i hope you don't mean dracula vampires. third, the King James bible is not what you think it is. King James bible was made as a way for the king to rule the church and get devorces easier. he added a few things and changed things around, but some statements, like the witch one, was a sign of the times. witches were very much feared in the 1500 when the bible Anglican church was formed.

in regards to Christian Witches, though i only looked into it 7 years ago and therefore my knowledge is shotty do to memory, yes, it is an oxymoron of a statement that makes me chuckle. however, they're basically christians who use 'white magic' [healing, luck] after all, a prayer and a chant are slightly similar, you say some words in the hopes thing will change for you. also, a lot of what goes on in the church comes from ancient pagan rituals, mostly because when the church took over the rule of the land, they wanted the new converts to ease into the change. example, Bridgit [not 100% on the spelling] was a celtic goddess, who was made a saint because of her huge following.

Brigid is the correct spelling. She is the goddess of the written word and imagination. I'm quite certain that she has other aspects as well, although I only know of those two.

And yes, I do mean the Dracula kind. Just because you don't believe in something doesn't mean it isn't real. Of course there isn't any scientific proof that it's real. However, that doesn't mean that it isn't. Also I know the type of vampires you're referring to. Energy based ones. I've widely researched that area as well. Vampires have always interested me.

To be a witch, one can have any religion. Their are Jewish witches, Buddhist witches, Christian witches, Pagan witches, and even athiest witches. The list goes on and on. Witches aren't the only ones who practice magick though, every culture has their own magick and name for the practicioner.

The big debate is one chooses to be Christian Wiccan, as they are two separate religions. If you mix together religions to form your own, you are just plainly "pagan" or what is known as "eclectic".

I'm of the opinion that there is only one requirement for a religion: Someone who believes. From Dictionary.com re·li·gion [ri-lij-uhn] Show IPA noun 1. a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs. Do I believe in a Father figure, Great Spirit - Yes Do I believe God was incarnate as a human - Yes Do I believe that Jesus was married to Mary Magdaline and she was rightful head of first church - Yes Do I believe in Mother Earth - Yes Do I believe in spirits - Yes Do I believe their is an energy called "Magick" - Yes Do I believe in reincarnation - Yes Do I believe in good and evil - Yes This and more is the basis of what I believe, so it is the basis of my religion. So, what is it you truly believe?
