they can't and don't let them try to convince you otherwise!

Perhaps this lady was raised as a catholic and tehn started practising witchcraft as she got older. I've studied the craft for a few years now and although we have a deep respect for everybodies own beliefs I have never known anyone claim to be 'A Catholic Witch'! (that's actually kinda funny) The belief systems are completely different...There are so many but a prime example: In Catholisism there are many rules, (some pretty strict rules at that), in Witchcraft there is only one which is 'An it harm none do as ye will' (basically as long as you do not inflict harm on anybody you are free to do what you want.) Quite a big difference don't you think :)

I can't see how you could realistically expect to simultaneously practice both Catholicism and Wicca, since they are two completely different religions, and I'm pretty sure there's going to be facets that contradict each other.
The only thing I can think of is that she was from a Catholic background, and later embraced Wicca.
Alternatively, maybe she was just talking out of an orifice at the other end from her face. Just because someone's talking about something on the radio doesn't necessarily mean they know anything...

The bible specifically mentioned the abstinence from any form of spiritism. The two cannot co-exist. Aperson who engages in such and claims to be a christian, what is the standard of his/her belief? Acts 16:16-18; Galatians 5:19-21; Revelation21:8 and 22:15; Deuteronomy 18:10-12; Jeremiah 10:2; Isaiah 8:19,20... and the list just goes on and on, where the bible shuns such practices. If a person accepts the bible as God's word, such one should be ready to abide by its laws and principles.

Hon, I'm Catholic, but I was once Wiccan. It's a way to have your cake and eat it too. Christian witches normally start off life in a Christian family. They are raised that way and they, at some point, decide to become Wicca. Their hearts aren't into it and they can't really change their thinking from Chrisitan to Wiccan without feeling guilty for betraying their birth religion so a Christian witch is the compramise.
Basically, a Christian witch believe in God, but aslo a Goddess and does spells (or what ever). I'll be honest, I think it's silly. You can't serve two masters and they are really just confused as to what they really want to follow. I think they are really Wiccans who don't want to feel the guilt of being Wiccan.
I know of one Christian witch on this site. She's a nice person with a lot of good answers. I didn't look to see if she answered you, but I hope she does. I think she's a wonderful person, despite the fact I don't agree with her religion. She would be the one to give you the best answer.

Christianity and Wicca are two different beliefs. Catholics do have many rituals and pagaen rites in their belief so I can understand why this woman is confused. True Christians know that God said to beware of those who practice magic and spells. It's not Godly.

People can claim to be anything they want, but that does not make it so.
However It is not possible to be a Christian and a witch at the same time, because to be a Christian yo must be like Christ, and to be a witch is against His word. Jesus cannot go His own word.

They cannot co-exist. Christians are forbidden to use magic, which utilises interactions with demons. The Holy Spirit gives us more power than magic ever could. The difference is that using Holy Spirit gifts we act under the authority of God. Magic involves the illusion of control of spiritual entities in order to impose your will on a person or situation.

MY cousin married (or is "bonded) with one. She is a Catholic and practices Wicca(otherwise known as being a witch) Wicca is also a paggan religion like catholicism. Many in Haiti(and many south american countries) practice catholicism and voodoo. Its mainly because the africans brought voodoo with them but thier slave owners forced them to worhsip thier catholic god. My cousins wife is from Columbia, she goes to church for show then practices wicca whenever. She knows very little of God. However at her "bonding" service to my cousin they were there on behalf of "guya" and some other god.

Christian Witch is an oxymoron. Witchcraft is condemned in The Bible. It is demonically inspired, and Christians must not be involved with it !

You are either Christian or Wiccan. It is impossible to be both because the tenets are in opposition of each other. Anyone who says they are both is deceiving themselves and anyone else they talk to about it.
