Christian Witchcraft?

This is where I find myself now. Not sure Wicca is the exact path but I am a Christian that doesnt want to let go of that yet believes magik/witchcraft to be real. Also that it can be used for good. I need some guidance that it seems a book cant offer. How to mesh the two together. If anyone has some good insight or direction feel free to inbox me. Im completely confused. Most books say its all one or the other :(

Ladyaries, the thing is the bible states magick is evil and all witches must die. you will never be an accepted christian with those "guidlines"

I really wish people who don't have a clue and who aren't Christian would stop telling people what is an isn't acceptable by a religion they do not currently practice and more than likely have a biased towards.


You can be Christian and practice Witchcraft. Witchcraft is an action, not necessarily a belief.
There are many Christians who practice magic and there is even a tradition and culture specifically for it (one of a few, however this one in particular dates back a few hundred years).

Hoodoo, for example, is folk magic that is influenced heavily by Christianity ie: it is practiced by Christians and those who can practice within the Christian concepts with respect.

The bible is frequently used in Hoodoo and many passages are almost like instructions for certain things.
The belief is that they are doing God's work, thus working magic with his approval and favor (or he simply wouldn't allow it to begin with). The use of prayer along with herbs, oils, candles, washes, etc. is key in this practice.

This particular system of Christian Magic has been around since the slave trade and is extremely prevalent in southern states, especially the bible belt, though it goes under different names such as Conjure, God's Work or sometimes just what your Grandma taught you.

So yes..you can be Christian and practice magic, despite what Non-Christians (usually those who were Christian and now have a sore spot with the religion) have to say. People have been doing it for centuries, and frankly, it's not up to anyone else if it's "right or wrong according to the bible". It's between you and your God.

No one else's opinion matters one flipping bit.

Well when christianity first came into existence, people did practice witchcraft, homosexuality, and other things that christianity frowns upon today. When the Romans invaded, that was when ideas started changing.

This thread could go on forever;it is already three years old! But, I feel I must make one thing absolutely clear. Witchcraft is NOT a religion. I have been a witch all my life. I have used magic all my life. I have no religion at all! I do not believe in anything supernatural.Yet I am a witch! So, can a Christian practise witchcraft? Of course! Any religion can practise witchcraft; or no religion.
However, a Christian Wiccan, is not the same thing as a Christian witch!
Witchcraft is what it says on the tin; it's a Craft!

Observi u attack Christianity a lot
Christianity is not mind suppressing
And their is nothing stolen about it
And no jesus was not a witch
If u do witchcraft u go to hell read th
Bible

What is sad is that witches were considered to be the wise people of the faith of old ancients times. I think the word Christian witch is not a good word for it. For the creation of Adam and Eve believe it or not was a command to be made. Taking a bunch of people from destroyed religions which are now dust and ashes and gathering them together to form a body (that is assembly and breathing into that body the breath of life) is that act not a form of magic by some?

I am absolutely sick of this thread being revived usually by American teenagers who do not know the history of witchcraft as the term is commonly understood today.

Christian witchcraft is most definitely a practice, Christian Wicca is not.

There is not necessarily an intrinsic link between Christianity and the belief system pushed in churches. It is my opinion, and if you look at the history, historical fact, that Christianity as practiced by the church is not actual Christianity, but in fact 'Churchianity'.

To say a true Christian would never practice witchcraft is preposterous and just a downright stupid thing to say. Every time a priest blesses a eucharist he is performing Christian witchcraft.

If we look at the actual history of not just witchcraft, but magic as a whole as it developed in the British Isles you will find countless cases of Christians performing magic. There are countless rituals, spells, folklore about magic involving Christianity. Witchcraft is a non dogmatic practice, Christianity, like every other religion, embraced witchcraft.

Even in the modern day there are devout Christians practicing witchcraft who offer their services: even some clergy men!

So before anyone else comes on to this thread to spout nonsense like Christians practicing magic will go to hell, Christian wicca is a thing. Christianity and witchcraft are incompatible: please pick up a book once in a while, it might work wonders.

To me, it's an Oxymoron. I was raised a JW, though.

The whole "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" bit is a poor translation of a poor translation. More accurately, as I've said a hundred times, the actual translation states more that a poisoner, deceiver, or one who poisons with deceit (old languages have many meanings within their words, so it can be interpreted as pretty much all of these), should not be suffered to live. You can believe whatever version, modern or old, you care to. That's your choice.

As to whether Christian Witchcraft is a thing or not, it obviously is because some people practice it. Your opinion on it, or mine, doesn't change this fact.

There, debate settled. Thread locked.
