When a person becomes a Christian the Holy Spirit is alive in them. The Holy Spirit will cause the person to have Godly desires more and more as time goes on. Whether it's wicca or anything else that may be ungodly, the Spirit of God will make known to the Christian. So yes, a Wicca/Pagan can be a Chventually they will ristian, but not want anything in their life that is not of God.

There are some that claim to be. There are tons of reasons I can think of that would be reasons for why it wouldn't work. But, there are still people out there that claim to be such. I know a wiccan that says her patron deities are Jesus and Artemis. So, I suppose for her she's worked all that out. I would have to say that it would depend on the individual not the religions per se. Obviously, on face value, they don't work together. But, I see individual people that make it work for them.
As a Wiccan, I would suggest, to someone that thinks that's the way they want to go, that they learn as much as they can about basic beliefs for christianity and paganism/wicca first. That way you know where your beliefs fit in with both.

It depends incredibly on your definitions.....
If being a Chrisitan is about knowing your relationship with Jesus, and following his teachings; and if being a Pagan is about finding the pieces of the sacred that work best for you in amongst all the sacred traditions of the world, yeah, no problem....
If being a Wiccan is about revering nature and paying attention to the wheel of the year, yeah, those can go together...be kind of a tight balance, but it is possible.
Unfortunately, most people (including me) define Paganism as realizing that no-one can lead any person better than that person him/ her self,, so most Pagans and most real Christians are massively at odds right there.
On the other hand, there are a huge number of Christians out there who go to church once a week and otherwise don't follow Jesus' teachings at all....they kind of are already Pagans, whether they say so or not.

Unfortunately, I don't know much about Wicca/Pagan, but I know that "Christian" means a Christ follower. The bible specifically talks about praying to false gods and the like. So my answer, no.

EWW not in my book, christians kill Pagans, remeber the witch trials? Ill never forget them and im a True Pagan.
Wiccans pratice magic, and as a general rule christians frown upon magic, also most Pagans and wiccans are not monotheistic.

There are Christian Pagans. But they are rare and their beliefs are different from person to person.

well considering most christian holidays were stolen from wiccan/pagan ceremonies, then stuck in a pretty package to look more acceptable, I think your question is *** backwards..

I suppose. But it's not recommended. It's highly frowned upon in both groups. If you must, best to be Catholic. Or join one of the synchretic sects, like Santeria or Umbanda.

Pagan, yes. Wiccan, not in my definition. That's just me.

No. Xians consider Pagans and Wiccans to be Satanists. It is the Xian way or hell. Nothing in between. To be Xian you have to turn away from everything else. (They don't play well with others)
