Christian Witches don't exist. The beliefs of a Christian and that of a Wiccan/Witch are not compatible. It is impossible to be both. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you.

In general you should read the witch Hammer. This a lawbook, that never had stopped to work. It counts in every nation, where the cristian church want to use it. The last witch in Europe was burned in the 20´s in France. In several islamic nations death penalty is still in use.
Nevertheless to come to your point. Neither the christian, nor the jewish or islam belive in witchcraft and sorcery. Those who believe in witches do not believe in God.
This has a simple reason. Everything , that happens happen because of Gods will. Indeed it was strongly forbidden and seen as evil work, when people say that we only have a dead god, who serve as idol. The view from the religion is clearly, that we have a living God and everything is following his will. Nothing happens what God doesn´t want to happen.
So therefore you may got some talents, special giftts or abilities by God to use them to help other people. I wouldn´t describe it as witchcraft. When you have a look in a christian lexicon, you will see that there were several thousand wonders and hundreds of holy people, who had some special abilities and used them to do good. Where these evil wichtches?
The name pagan as a religious description is mainly in the US used wrong. Pagan comes from the word pagus, which means the worship of a location. This goes back to old saxons religion where e.g. the irminsul was worshipped. But only to come to pray at a special place doesn´t contain a complete religion.
In general from christian view, you do not have any choice in live, everything you do is wanted by god, and only god leads your day.
So just be happy and thank God, that you are maybe able to do things others cannot.
And well the "Light" of which many religious people speak, is not necessary a smbol for the good. The "Lightbringer" is also known as Luzifer and not Jesus.

Witches/Wicca are pagan/pagan religion. Not Christian. This is sorcery. Exodus 22: 18 - You must not preserve a sorceress alive. Of course this is Old Testament. Pagan holidays/rituals that have corrupted Christianity have come from many old religions.
I have had proven to me through non-Biblical sources these truths:
Jesus did not die on a cross, it was on a pole. The cross or Tau is Chaldean(the god Tammuz), Greek and Norse and many other origins also are too numerous to mention.(Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words (London-1962 p.256)
His birth was in early October, not December. This was done to correspond with pagan festivals. And A Christmas tree and Christmas has it’s origins of pagan culture (Encyclopedia Americana-1977, Vol. 6, p.666)
Easter is derived from Chaldean (Astarte) and Assyrian (Ishtar) religions. (The Two Babylons-New York 1943. Pgs 103,107,108)
Halloween (we don’t even need to discuss)
Birthdays (including candles on a cake) are of Greek/Roman (Artemis) origin. (The Lore of Birthdays by Ralph and Adelin Linton-New York, 1952 pgs. 8, 18-20)
Valentine’s Day(honouring 2 martyred saints) is from the Roman festival Lupercalia, honouring the marriage of Juno and Pan. (World Book Encyclopedia- 1973, Vol. 20, p.204
Mother’s Day is based on Greek festival for Great Mother of the Gods, Cybele/Rhea. (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1959,Vol 15, p. 849)
The Trinity or Trinitarian dogma (Father, Son, Holy Spirit, in Christianity) is of Babylonian origin. (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1967, Vol. Xiv., p.299) (Nowhere in the Bible does it say the three are one.)
Images or religious statues is of Mesopotamian origin. (Ancient Mesopotamia-Portrait of a Dead Civilization-Chicago, 1964 p.184)
I hope this clarifies some things for you.

Im not a Christian witch, but I DID look into it, and for the record, I loved some of the parts of it. And your post is good.
I'd love to hear from you, a little about what you practice. Many parts of wicca interest me, and I think suit my personality. But I love God, and until 3 months ago, I didnt realize the two could work together. I havent found much on the internet searches Ive done, could you email me some sites that might show me more about it.
Yes, there ARE such a thing as Christian witches! Thaks for your time.

A witch is a practitioner of magick, a form of using prayer, personal energy or aid of outside forces to gain ones will. A pagan usually refers to someone who follows a faith outside the main Abrahamic religions (Islam, Christianity and Judaism). Christian witches do exist and normally call upon Jesus Christ for aid.
My next door neighbor is a Christian witch and a wonderful person as well. The only difference in our techniques is who and what we call on and who we honor as our personal gods( my faith is Wicca).

I'm sorry but you can't be both.If you believe in jesus you also believe in satan,if you believe in jesus and satan,that's dualism,not paganism.Christian witchcraft is an oxymoron like rap-metal, or smart dumba'ss.Really, you're just making both religions look bad.Oh, and if god is your saviour and you like herbs & candles,that makes you CATHOLIC,not Pagan.
