The Kabbalah (Jewish Mysticism) has been around for thousands of years. These practices were about the Bible and the use of mysticism & magick together. It teaches that YHWH God is both male & female: IE: HEBREW:The Mother Goddess-Sophia, the Father God-YHWH, The Son Lord Yeshua (Jesus) & the Daughter Lady Wisdom (the Holy Spirit) Similiar to Christian-Wiccan Beliefs.
Principles easily incorporated with Wiccan beliefs. Example: EGYPTIAN: The Mother Goddess- Isis, the Father God-Osiris, the Son-Horus, the Daughter-Bast, and many other: GREEK: Zeus, Hera, Apollo, Athena.
There are millions of Metaphysical-Esoteric Christians out there. I am one of them.
I have been a High Priestess of a multi-mixed denomonation metaphysical group for 9 years.
We have Christians, Wiccans & Mystic that all practice together.
We use prayers & catalysts: Candles, incense, holy water, cakes & wine (communion), herbs, stones, wands, etc...
I am also a bible college grad & the author of the book "The Christian Craft".

The Hebrew word for witchcraft meant people who use poisons or to drug someone, to do them harm, evil or to kill them.
Do NOT deny that we exist. Do some research people.........

I have known some Christian Wiccans myself - I don't know if they do spells - didn't actually talk to them much about that aspect. I'm just a plain witch myself. So there are more out there and if you can work the beliefs together then that's fine. Wicca allows for a wide range of Gods and Goddesses and some find room for the Christian God, usually Mary as well.
Good luck, your getting it from both sides.

Yes, on the surface these two seem like opposites. Personally , I have studied many different religions and I take from each one what makes sense to me and leave what does not. Of course you can be Christian and Wiccan. There is a philosophy that is beginning to emerge . We were given free will by God. So God wants us to make our own choices. God lives in each one of us through our spirit. So as we make our own choices, that is God's will as well.(be it a good choice or not- the universe makes up for its losses.) Wicca is a wonderful way to feel connected to the Earth and Universe. They DO NOT believe in Satan. They do believe in a Great Spirit. Spells are just intentions that you manifest with thought ,ceremony and the forces of nature. Not this vague magick that people think. Please , do not take the Bible literally, it was written by MEN ,and so long ago that people don't think the same as they did back then. The world is different now. I dislike how people think that God wrote the Bible. The governments back then wanted people to believe in Christ, so they could control them and take their money through tithes. I believe that Jesus was a man who found the WAY. Just like Budda. There are plenty of things that don't make sense in Christianity and I believe that the Governments of the day Changed or altered the Bible to fit their needs. I was raised and baptized a Christian . I just don't believe it all happened the way it is written . A wonderful web site that I like a lot is called Beliefnet.org It is a site with many different religions . Lots of good stuff to read.Best of luck on your spiritual journey. Namaste.

First of all, You should report all these people that didn't even answer your question. Second, here are some links that I have found: http://www.religioustolerance.org/witchcr5.htm/,
http://paganwiccan.about.com/od/christianwitches/,
http://members.tripod.com/dagwench/christianwitch/christo_eclectic.htm/,
http://www.geocities.com/wiccanchristian/,
http://www.olivespiral.com/
Unfortunately, a lot of these sites are only individuals that are Christian Wiccan, however, I have found them helpful in my path. It is nice to see someone who is not judgmental of the fact that we are Christian Wiccan! There are a lot of Christian Wiccan forums that you can find by using google also! Good luck in your path and Blessed Be!
Also, Yes, I use spells, but as prayers.

I think you're a little confused, Sweety...let me try to clear a bit of air for you to continue on your way...
There is a big difference between Christian & Wiccan...
Christians maintain strict doctrines that bind their sects, and follow the "teachings" of only one book, and believe in one God.
Wiccans do not have a strict doctrine, since they believe they are connected to all things, and with many dieties that oversee its parts, including Mother/Father God.
Witchcraft was deemed a sin because people did not understand it...Magic (or magik), is a natual ability to manipulate energies, which all things possess...you needn't be Wiccan to do such.
It is up to you to research further to find which, if either, still hold truths for you...there are many books, many authors, and many sites that you can find simply by seeking them out...Good Journey to you!

i am not sure that you can get a christian wiccan however i do know some wiccans who respect and follow teachings that Jesus gave us .. you can mix the two in that respect
and whoever said that wiccans follow Satan ... don't know much about wiccans
added note
bobby i just seen your last post and you mentioned spiritualist .. this sounds more likely sweetheart to mix spiritualism and christianity and know of some people who are christian spiritualists.. check out this site it may be closer to what you are looking for

Bobby,
i've never ever heard of a "christian wiccan" but hey....
finding sites such as those you are searching for is relatively easy: go to www.google.com and search "wiccan christian" or something along those lines.
hope this helped....

There is no such thing as a Christian Wiccan.
Christianity is a religion where there is a monotheistic belief system that believes in Jesus as the son of God and saviour. Their beliefs and practices are based upon that of the Old Testament and the teachings of Jesus.
Wicca is a priesthood where there is a hard polytheistic belief system that believes in specific deities known only to those who are initiated into Wicca, Wicca is an initiate-only religion that is oath-bound meaning that only those initiated into a coven with lineage back to Gardner (founder) or New Forest Coven are considered Wicca.
You cannot be two religions at once, it is impossible, you can take a New Age approach by taking beliefs and practices from various sources and putting them together to work within your own belief system, but that does not mean you are part of every religion you take ideas from – to be part of a religion you must follow the beliefs, practices and doctrines of that religion. As Wicca is so secretive of it's practices and as a priesthood it would not take on people into their priesthood who do not even believe in the beliefs and doctrines they do – within Christianity it would be easier to not follow all beliefs, practices and doctrines to the letter, but to be Christian you still have to have beliefs that would define you as such.
The bible does not say that witchcraft is forbidden, it speaks against magic used for 'evil' purposes, but as Jesus himself used magic and given the existence of magic within Christianity the Bible can hardly talk against magic or witchcraft, much of what is claimed to be against witchcraft is mistranslated or taken out of context. Christians have of course been practicing witchcraft far before Wicca was around, and still do today in their masses; the only religion with specific teachings against witchcraft is Islam.
I would highly suggest you learn about both religions you are claiming to be – claiming to be Wicca when you are not is highly offensive because you are disrespecting those who have studied Wicca and worked hard to earn their title through initiation, it is also spreading misinformation about Wicca to others who do not know better.

Sorry, but there can be no such thing as a "Christian Wiccan".
a) Wicca is a religion which honors pre-Christian gods only;
b) Christianity forbids the use of witchcraft or divination

Okay, that's the biggest load of crap I've heard in a long time. A real Wiccan doesn't serve the Christian god. Even I know that you can't serve two gods. Pick one and stop being an idiot.
