Santeria is a practice that combines Christianity (Catholic) with folk magic. So you might look into that. Since witchcraft in and of itself isn't a religion, I don't see a problem with you mixing spellcrafting in Jesus' name. You just might not want to take the bible literally, because then the two won't mix.

I don't think there is Christian witchcraft. (You might, if a cat and some pigeons were handy, say that the Bible miracles were the result of magick, but perhaps that's for another time).
The King James version is a very poor choice of Bible; it is full of mistakes, mistranslations, and just plain inventions that were put in for political reasons. You need to refer to at least three translations to get a good idea of what it really says. Many internet sites will allow you to so this.
What sort of witchcraft are you thinking of? Casting of spells and the like would go against Christian teaching, as they invoke powers that are not of God (probably). Not to mention the use of a Higher Power to further one's own ends. On the other hand, asking the Powers to look kindly on someone in need of help is not so far removed from Christian prayer.
Have a look into Wicca (the religion based round, though not necessarily the same as) witchcraft.

There is a good book called "Breaking the Death Habit" by Leonard Orr that talks about mysticism and Jesus. Orr states that Jesus is not the only historical figure who could walk on water and heal the sick. Doesn't make Him any less God-like, either. Don't know if that's what you mean by witchcraft, but I think people have been burned at the stake for doing mysticism, as well as witchcraft. Good grief.

Since you have a Bible next to you, there would be no reason to give scripture to you, as you are capable of reading it for yourself. and if you already read the Bible, then you know God says witchcraft is evil, and an abomination to God, and will lead to death and hell. Not my words, but Gods.
There is no such thing as Christian witchcraft. Bible says so. Now, you dont have to believe in the Bible, that is surelly choice. But, the Bible is what tells the Christian beliefs, and God says witchcraft is evil. So, there is no such thing as Christian witchcraft. Either you believe fully in the Bible or you reject it. You cant believe certain parts, and reject the rest.
I doubt you can report anyone for answering your queston. Because you didnt just ask about witchcraft, you asked specifically about Christistian witchcraft, and the only way to give you an answer on Christian beliefs is to quote Gods words in the Bible. If you dont want Christian answers, then no one could give you a correct answer to your question.
Its like saying tell me about the muslim Jesus and dont give the Koran or Bible scriptures. You ask something that cannot be answered. So, what would you report?
I am genuinely tryiing to answer your question, as best I can. You may either accept ir or reject it. But, its not a Christian response you want, do use that in your question. How else would a Christian tell you what God says..??????? So you set ppl up for problems that answer you. But, God does not give me a spirit of fear, but of hope. So, yes I will answer your question with no fear. Jesus is our blessed hope. Witchcraft (GOD SAYS) is of the devil and its evil and leads to destruction. No such thing as white witches or black witches, that are bad. Witchcraft is magic, and God is clear on all that stuff.
To answer your question, read the Bible beside you.
Study it, know it, and know just what God says about witchcraft, and everything else. For that I will pray....

Let me get this straight. You read the bible, pray all the time, have accepted Jesus as your savior... You never made him the Lord of your life! There is the problem!
You cannot have your cake and eat it too.
A man named Simon had been a sorcerer there for many years, claiming to be someone great...
When Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given when the apostles placed their hands upon people's heads, he offered money to buy this power. "Let me have this power, too," he exclaimed, "so that when I lay my hands on people, they will receive the Holy Spirit!"
But Peter replied, "May your money perish with you for thinking God's gift can be bought! You can have no part in this, for your heart is not right before God. Turn from your wickedness and pray to the Lord. Perhaps he will forgive your evil thoughts, for I can see that you are full of bitterness and held captive by sin."
Acts 8:9...23

There is a thing called Christian witchcraft but it is more of just a bunch of Christian teens trying to rebel. Now there are people out there that combine religions taking a little bit of this and a little bit of that. If you are looking at worshipping God and Jesus in a more personal way I suppose you could use meditative prayer incense and candles in your own home????

You will have to refer to another source. The Book of Enoch, which was qouted a few times in the New Testament. Angels lusted for human women, had relations, taught them enchantments, herbalism and astrology. This is very close to witchcraft as it is thought of today.

Report me if you wish, but the two don't mix.
The sources of power are diametrically opposed.
Jesus is the source of power for Christian practices.
Satan is the source of power for the practice of witchcraft.
You asked, I answered. I'm honestly not trying to offend you or anyone else.
