Where can someone learn about Christo Wicca?

Question

I was into Wicca as a teen, but never was able to reconcile it with my christian background. I spent alot of years reading on the subjects of christianity and wicca and recently came across Christo Wicca ( aka Trinitarian tradition) I am wondering if anyone may be able to point me to a place where I can learn a little about this?

Answer 2

There are a couple different combinations between Pagan practices like Wicca and the Abrahamic ways of Christianity.


You might also look up Gnosticism. Its hard to tell exactly what you believe, some Christian Witches don't believe in the Goddess others believe that Mary is the Goddess others yet believe Shekina or Astarte was the Christian Goddess.

Answer 3

The best way for you to figure out how they can be meshed is to do some heavy-duty research on the historical development of both religions.

Concerning Wicca, I highly recommend reading Hutton's _Triumph of the Moon_, as well as this article in two parts ~ http://www.whitedragon.org.uk/articles/hoax.htm
http://www.whitedragon.org.uk/articles/wicchoax.htm

Concerning Christianity, I recommend reading the works of Robin Lane Fox and Elaine Pagels - for a start.

Wicca is a hoax started by Gerald Gardner in 1950. He was a masochist who wanted to be tied up and beaten by strong willed women. It isn't an "ancient Pagan tradition".

There are several dozen verses in the Bible that say why you can't combine Wicca with Christianity. You can read them here:

http://usminc.org/xtianwicca.html

And while you're at it, why not read about famous occultists like Aleister Crowley and decide if that's your "spiritual path".

http://usminc.org/famous.html

Then decide if it's worth persuing. If you want to wind up broke and forgotten, go for it!

If there is any truth to the old saying "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.", that truth is found in the occult, and Wicca in particular. Silver Ravenwolf has written close to a dozen books on the subject of "The Craft", and claims she has been studying it since about 1969, which is almost as long as I’ve been alive. She has written a book on how to cast money spells, and includes a chapter on how to do so in her Teen Witch book. But the thing is, she doesn't particularly sound all that prosperous herself. Ravenwolf writes,

" For years I couldn't afford to go to a hair stylist (still can't, it's shop and chop for me). I got pretty good at stying my own hair from looking at magazine pictures" [SOURCE: Teen Witch, Llewellyn Publications, 2003 edition, page 145]

OK, she so rich she can't go to the hairdresser. Hey, get me a copy of that Prosperity Spell book!

Silver Ravenwolf seems to have inadvertently discovered that Wicca makes things worse, but won't ever admit it as such.
In Teen Witch she says

"A lot of people tell me how bad their lives have gotten after casting a spell and tell me they won't do Witchcraft anymore. I tell them their lives would have been much worse for not having cast the spell".

Gee Silver, you would think a lot of people would be saying things like "Hey, Silver Ravenwolf, my life has improved tremendously with Wicca!" if Wicca is as great as they claim. Instead it makes lives much worse, and even Silver Ravenwolf admits she hears this a lot!!!

Why? Because sometimes, things are just as you think they are. Most average people will tell you the occult deals with black magic and demons, and demons are evil beings who wish us harm. This is how it is my friend. The occult is evil, and brings bad happenings into a person's life, and Wicca is an occult religion. When you stop trying to rationalize it with inaccurate data and just use common sense you will realize this. Some occultists are of above average intelligence, and I think part of the problem is they have book smarts but not common sense. There are two forces at work in this universe: the counterfeit and the genuine. Wicca’s source of power is not the genuine. There’s just simply no way Wicca (and thus the copycat Neopagan religions) can be created from the black magic writings of “The Great Beast 666", the bizarre sexual practices of Gardner, the spiritual “guidance” of the Watchers (fallen angels) and still be a source of good!

None of the people who have answered your question can make it "work" either, Don't delude yourself. It's an incredible waste of time and money, and it's spiritual poison.

Answer 5

many wiccans i be attentive to call upon hindu deities. kali and shiva are fairly commonplace; additionally the chinese language kuan yin. i don't be attentive to adequate approximately shinto to remark on whether those gods might evaluate it an affront, yet maximum polytheistic traditions are fairly tolerant. wicca does not have a particular god and goddess, so a great variety of ideals bearing directly to the divine are available in, such as jap traditions. i'm no longer extraordinarily wiccan, yet my buyer has recognized that he's properly suited with different gods. i've got faith which you would be able to undertake the gods and formality prepare that artwork best for you. the gods are not fairly in touch bearing directly to the main factors, yet bearing directly to the sincerity of your efforts.

Answer 6

Wicca doesn't need to be "reconciled" with any other religion. If you have a desire to stick to your Christian roots then, by all means, stick to them.

There is no Christo Wicca. Many people practice a form of Neo-Paganism loosely based on Wicca and incorporate elements of Christianity...but it isn't Wicca.

Answer 7

A Yahoo! Search brings up a few sites, of course Christian Wicca is neither Christian nor Wicca and defining oneself as such is likely to offend a lot of people as both terms are being used to describe something very different from both Christianity and Wicca.

Christianity – Religion following monotheist belief in a god and divine trinity.
Wicca – Priesthood following hard-polytheistic belief in a god and goddess.

The two do not combine, no matter how hard others may want to argue otherwise, it is one or the other, you cannot be two religions at once, you certainly cannot be within the priesthood of Wicca when you also claim to follow the religion of Christianity.

Answer 8

This is a very good question in my opinion. Here are the sites that I have come across for Christian-Wicca:

Hope this helps you in your journey! And don't listen to anyone! You do what is best for you, not someone else!!!!
Blessed Be!!!!

Answer 9

Lets upset some Fluffy Bunnies [those wilfully ignorant about Wicca, interested in Wicca for 'fad' value alone]...

You cannot be Christian and Wicca at the same time it is impossible, I would STRONGLY suggest you study both Christianity and Wicca seriously before filling your head with such nonsense as 'Christiowicca' or whatever they are calling themselves these days.

The two are completely incompatible, you can take influences from both fine, but you cannot follow two religions at once, least of all two very radically different religions – no coven would initiate someone who claimed to be Christian, that would simply be illogical!

Answer 10

There's no need. If you are going to pollute christianity with wicca, you might as well forget Christianity, and just go wicca. It's either one or the other, but not both.
