wicca and Christianity

This thread has been moved to Wicca from Norse Paganism.

Well I am Wiccan and I see all Deities are one which does include the Christian God. I talk and communicate with various forms of the Lord and Lady including Jesus, Nyx, Mother Mary and Aphrodite. It all depends how you view both faiths. I didn't like the preaching on Hell so I choose to see Jesus' death as teaching us about reincarnation and as their own personal truth. Each religion has their witches and Christianity is no different. If you want more information on this I would suggest contacting the witchcraft museum in England as they will confirm that people have practised this way for many years. Think seriously about if you are ready to undertake this path, as from experience I can tell you it takes allot of research and trial and error. It can be done, and if you want any more information feel free to message me or ask :)
Blessed Be.

In my opinion, and based on 30 years as a practicing Wiccan, the religons of Wicca and Christianity are incompatible. The beliefs and practices are totally at odds. Trying to mash the two religions together might make some sort of spiritual path, but it is then neither Christianity nor Wicca.

Now, that being said...there is no reason one cannot be both witch and Christian as witchcraft is just that, a craft. Many witches continue to follow the beliefs and practices of Christianity and still practice magic and spellwork. But witchcraft and Wicca are two very different things as well.

As I said, witchcraft is a craft...Wicca is a religion,.

Wicca and Christianity do not work well together, no. Christopaganism is a bit different. You can set up a sort of hierarchy, as long as you honor God as the highest part of it. This is why Hellenic deities are not a good choice for Christopagans, as they also wish to be honored as the highest part of your hierarchy. If you want, I can give you more info.

I fail to see the point of this argument! It is very simple!
A true Christian believes that Jesus was the son of God. A true Wiccan does not! It's like claiming to be a Christian Muslim.

While I respect your all your opinions, and I hope you give the same curtesy to me. What is the point of arguing? I resonate with the title of Wiccan. That is who I am. Just because I see Jesus as being another face of the Divine does not make me any less of a Wiccan. Everyone will argue about this, but it's how you feel and connect with the Lord and Lady that makes a difference. In the end no one can tell me I'm wrong because its how I practise. It may not work for others just like your paths will not work for everyone, but yes it's possible and yes it works. I am the living proof of that.

Moonrise, no one was questioning you specifically. The OP was asking for our opinions, we gave them based on our current understanding of the world. No one was arguing.

Then I apologise. It sounded as if you were dismissing it completely.

I am dismissing it completely! Christianity is based on the Holy Trinity; Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; all male. Wicca is the male and female aspect of all Nature, with both Lord and Lady.
I was brought up a Catholic, and there is no way that it could be compatible with Wicca! Yes, you may "cherry pick" bits of the two religions, and mix them together. But then you would be neither Christian nor Wiccan.
Many religions would honour Jesus, but as a prophet, not a God. That includes Wicca and Islam!

thank you all. this has helped me a lot.
