I would start by joining MSN's Christian Wiccan group. Here's the link ----> http://groups.msn.com/ChristianWiccan These are people who have already chosen the path you are considering, so they can be helpful in guiding you, I'm sure.

I don't think so. It'd be like being a Jewish Muslim or a Christian Satanist. They have different sets of beliefs that conflict, I don't see how you can believe in both at the same time. Having only some Catholic beliefs and only some Wiccan beliefs doesn't make you both-- it makes you neither, actually, because the parts you seem to be cutting out (Catholic doctrine on souls/the afterlife/etc. and Wiccan beliefs in Divinity) are pretty integral to those religions. You might want to look further for a religion that resonates a little better with you. Maybe Gnostic Christianity or Christo-Paganism. Try going to beliefnet and taking their religion quiz, it is pretty good and will tell you what religions have the most beliefs in common with you.

I also was raised staunchly and unforgivably Catholic but lost my faith in the practices and rituals involved with the religion only because of my personal weakness and not because of any faults I found with the Catholic religion.
I plan to get back to Catholicism as well, but from having no religion at all instead of being Wiccan like you are.
No, you can't believe in both because the 2 religions or belief systems are completely exclusive of one another and may not even share a single truth, significant or not.
Talk to your local priest about your dilemma and he will illuminate your decision without desperately trying to convert you if he is doing his job right.
You may soon find out that religion and spirituality practices are not about having fun or doing only what you are comfortable with, but rather the opposite - making sacrifices and developing discipline in your everyday behavior.
I hope you make the right choice so all I can ask you to do is to pray to God that He will guide you on the right path in your life.

Don't pressure yourself, for God's sake! :) In the meantime, try googling 'Christian witchcraft'. Many people develop ritual and spellcraft around the Christian God. This is the religious equivalent of being of mixed races, however. If you practice Christian witchcraft, there will always be SOME witches and SOME Christians who criticize you.
I think it's awesome that you are wanting to embrace both of these sides of yourself, at least for now. SInce you're only 15, please don't try to put yourself under any pressure to decide. Your beliefs will almost definitely continue to evolve all throughout your life, so my recommendation is just to explore what you think is right for you.
Good luck, sweetheart!

i am native American i spent four years researching all different beliefs and now i am very traditional. i also teach my kids that you are who you are no matter how you believe. in every belief there is a higher power regardless weather it is wiccan or christian. even though i am a traditionalist i also believe there is a god weather it be in my belief the creator or just to refer to him as god. i do not discredit the bible nor will i ever but i do believe that you can believe in more then one belief . i do. it makes me a stronger person because i don't judge anyone and there for i can get along with everyone.

Become a Christo-Wiccan, if you want. Replace the forms of the gods and goddesses with the forms of the Christian God.

you can practice both all you want.
create a middle ground...you can relate them to eachother easily and believe in both ways of life.

What do your parents think about this? And the priest?

It's not possible to practice both, it's conflicting
