Wesley's Notes 22:18
Witchcraft not only gives that honour to the devil which is due to God alone, but bids defiance to the divine providence, wages war with God's government, puts his work into the devil's hand expecting him to do good and evil. By our law, consulting, covenanting with, invocating or employing any evil spirit to
any intent whatever, and exercising any enchantment, charm, or sorcery, whereby hurt shall be done to any person, is made felony, without benefit of clergy; also
pretending to tell where goods lost or stolen may be found, is an iniquity punishable by the judge, and the second offence with death. This was the case in former times. But we are wiser than our fore - fathers. We believe, no witch ever did live! At least, not for these thousand years.

If you type "Christian Wican" into the search bar (found in the top right hand corner) it will link you to several forum posts and articles on the site that you can read concerning this.
I do believe there is also a Christan Wiccan coven here on the site. Click the groups tab, then scroll down till you find them. Feel free to mail the Priest/ess, Council, and members to get a feel for what they do and discuss this with them as well.

when king james rewrote the bible, meaning his own personal version of it, he added the word witch to support his views on getting rid of anyone who still practiced the old ways, those who did not convert to catholicism. If you study the bible, the words poisoner of wells were the original words instead of witch.

I was raised mormon and jewish and found the path of wiccan to be a blend of all religions! Traditional religions chant and sing and pray to their god and use alters and light candles. Spells are words that create energy to manifest what you want, as do prayers. I use the energy of many gods and goddess's but the christian god has many faces - the energy of love as seen in the goddess venus, etc. To me, we all honor the same and get to the same place if we are acting in love and light. We use different tools and call ourselves different names, but the thread of the divine flows through all of us. Geila

Spells are only words backed by your belief, your inner power and magic of your divine soul. It mirrors prayers but the structure is different. It is all the same my friend, just different words and lingo and methods, although traditional religions other than wiccan light candles also and use alters and practice magic - especially catholicism where preists become the embodiment of god.

the word witch was never in the bible until king james used it to support the catholic movement and massacred thousands of people who didnt convert. Poisoner of wells was the original statement - Geila

Many parts of the old testament through my research comes from Kemeticism for example Moses who many scholars believe was a Kemetic priest (knowing the way of the Egyptians) that lead others out of Egypt. Some support for this theory is that in Kemeticism we have 42 laws many like the ten commandments.
