pagans only please?

Question

my cousin has decided that he wants to be a christian~wiccan and some of you might remember that when i first started my conversion to wicca that i was a christian~wiccan, for me it was like a stepping stonehelping a christian to convert easly to wicca, and as i respect his decision to become a wiccan even if it is christian~wicca how can i help him on his path or do you think i should live him alone? i really want to be there for him and help him, mostly help him to learn more about it and prepare him for what i have already found the world has for us, i have some books i'm letting him read to teach him some things about wicca, but he is still young he dosnt understand these writtings and i have to tell him what they mean, does this mean he is still to young to be a christian/wiccan because i cant tell him he is too young to choose his religion, anyone should know it is not "my" choice it is his but if you think he is too young then i could just help him more becaouse he would need it

Story Junkie: no i lack that "gift"

Answer 1

help him along if he asks. how old is he? if hes under 18 then he should talk this over with his parents. Is he truley interested in the Wiccan faith or is it because he looks up to you?these are questions that he needs to answer. Im sort of struggling with the same situation right now with myself. I actually asked a very simelar question last night :-) well good luck with your cousin

Answer 2

I had fallen far off from the Catholic Church at approximately 13, whilst i began out asking skeptical questions, and have been given no smart solutions. i became an agnostic for tremendously much ten years, and then began in seek of something which made extra experience to me. My spouse had started reading approximately Pagan faiths often, and Wicca in specific, and that i became purely marginally fascinated, yet i became hiking interior the extreme floor to the East human beings somewhat, and that i sat down under a tree and watched the meadow and flow under me, and that i had a gorgeous, and somewhat deep, useful adventure. I observed how existence became divided between the genders, each complimenting the different, and each wanting the different, and suddenly lots of what my spouse have been talking approximately looked as though it would click into place for me. As I persevered to sit down down, surprised, I had something extra...very own ensue to me. i can purely liken it to a Christian's account of in my view connecting to God. It became merely like that. The Lord and lady have been there with me, someway, and that i could see that the creation reflects the writer, and that, as such, there became a God and a Goddess. After that, it merely had to do with somewhat some learn. i became a believer, and now i had to comprehend extra. it incredibly is 18 years later now, and that i'm nevertheless studying.

Answer 3

There is no such thing as 'Christian-wiccan' furthermore you have shown over and over again in your questions not just that you are ignorant of Wicca but do not respect those who are Wicca and so have no will to learn about Wicca.

Therefore you have no place trying to 'guide' your cousin, he has obviously gotten this 'Christian-wiccan' idea from somewhere and my guess is from you. Let him get on with his own beliefs and find his own way, perhaps he would be more willing than yourself to learn about other religions, like you he will find his own path in the end, on his own.

Answer 4

Can you see auras?
edit: aw, crap. I wonder if buddists can see it. It's been on my mind lately
Sometimes, when my husband is standing in the en suite and the light is off, I can see a rim of light around him, and I blink, thinking I've been staring a little too long at him, and I look away, expecting that after-image (the outline of him on whatever I look at next) but it doesn't happen, so I look at him again, and the line is still there. But it's never any color. If any, a pale pale green.

Sorry, I kind of went off topic. I suppose when two hearts share the same interests, it is the best thing in the world. White magic should not be something all that different from true Christianity, except that you are not placing your trust in Christ or God, but in yourself and the things around you. You seek that power, and the White magic may give it to you. It is there, but it will bring you full circle, as it is meant to, for all things are related.

Answer 5

I only know one person who claims to be a "Christian witch" and I think it's hooey. Pick one. Don't vacillate. Could you be a "Jewish Muslim" or a "Christian Muslim"? No.
You don't say how old he is, just that you think he's "too young". That's a judgment, not a fact.
I was raised Roman Catholic but with no urgings or teachings from ANYONE, or reading any books, at around age 6 I was trying to cast spells and do magic. So there's no age limit on knowing where your heart and soul want to be.
Find some child-friendly pagan groups (look to local stores) and bring him with you to rituals and meetings. I do 8 rituals a year at a local store and people often bring their children. We have weekly meetings too. You just missed Pagan Pride Day (It's in September) but that's another way to meet and learn in an informal, non-judgmental way.

Answer 6

People that dwell between christianity and wicca are not easily defined. He's working between polar opposites, and it isnt always going to make sense. Since its a misplaced mis-mash already, theres nothing anyone can do to help define such practice. Therefor, he can only make his own decisions.

Answer 7

....... Seriously how can you be a Christian/Wiccan??? that isnt choosing a religion, thats like moving along a buffet line and picking and choosing what you like and what you dont. serriously, this bastardization of faith is appalling because it happens quite often with christians that have decided to move away from the church, but dont want to find out they could have been wrong, PICK A PATH AND LIVE IT!!!!

Answer 8

Just let him know that you are there for him. Offer to study together, instead of one leading the other. You both may find information that is helpful to you. It is good to warn him about the view general society does take on this, as the majority of society is Christian. Just don't scare him too bad...

Answer 9

Leave him be. We don't convert remember and you telling him what stuff means is counter productive. He'll figure out his own path eventually and you should just stand back and let him.

Answer 10

I think you should leave him be. If he comes to you and asks questions or wants to borrow literature from you, then help him out, but don't mettle. One's spiritual journey is one in which the itinerary can only be planned by the spiritual seeker.
