Revelation 22:15 (NIV) Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
Matthew 7:22 (NEB) "Many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, cast out devils in your name, and in your name perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them to their face, 'I never knew you; out of my sight, you and your wicked ways!'"
Revelation 21:8 (NIV) But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death
Isaiah 57:1-5 (NIV) "The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death. But you--come here, you sons of a sorceres

When discussing Wicca, the Bible is not relevant. The majority of Wiccans do not believe in the Bible as a source of spiritual guidance or information. If a person does not accept the Bible as a valid source of information, quoting the Bible to them is not going to help your cause.
Most Wiccans, especially older ones, went through a lot of soul-searching before they chose their religion. For many of us that includes analyzing Christianity and the Bible. We are the ones who dare to ask, "WHY should I believe this?" And do you know what answer we are given?
"You must believe in the Bible because it says so... in the Bible." Realizing how silly that sounds, the person usually adds, "And the Bible is the word of God."
And we ask, "How do you know?"
And the answer: "...Because it says so. In the Bible." End of conversation.
By that logic we understand that any one of us can sit down and write our OWN Bible and it would be equally valid. Some of us do just that.
It is sad to me that so many Christians choose to use their holy book to find ways to hurt others, rather than take its peaceful wisdom and leave the rest to rot away, as it should.
Anyway. There are people who call themselves Christian Wiccans. Semantics aside, it's really no one's business. If they think they can pull that off, it's fine by me. I want no part of the angry Christian God and his vindictive followers.

Wiccans can not be Christian, and Christians can not be Wiccan. It is an oxymoron.
Wicca is a polytheistic religion, Christianity is a monotheistic religion. Because the Christian God states that when you are part of his covenant you worship him and him alone, you can not be polytheistic. So the two religions can not be combined together.
If someone comes to you and offers you their religion as Christian and whatever hyphenated after it, be assured they are a Christian trying to cover some bases, not the after thought they tacked onto their name.

1. Preaching does nothing.
2. A person can be Wiccan and not be a witch. You need to grow up and open your eyes. There's a wide world around you beyond your tiny little book.

Wiccans do not claim to believe in Jesus. Get your info straight before ranting bible verses off at the educated in this crowd.

Wiccans aren't Christian. Different religious views.

BTW, about those fiery lake quotes?
Telling a Pagan she's going to burn in hell is like calling offsides on the SPECTATORS at a football game.

What if the Bible was speaking of harmful magic?
I think that one CAN be a Christian Witch.

Was there a question in there somewhere, or just "you can't be both because I say so" ranting?
