I am a Christian. I wouldn't marry someone like that for several reasons. It is not because I believe they are some horrible person. That person deserves to be happy just as much as I do; however, I know that my religion is something very much a part of me. If I didn't have my spouse to be a part of my faith, then it would make the marriage very difficult. The question of how to raise children, worship, and other moral issues in the house would come up. It would cause a great deal of tension in the household. I think that people of different faiths that enter into marriage make things alot harder than it really should be.

I would ONLY marry someone who has strong beliefs in magic and the supernatural. But then again, I am a practitioner of those arts myself. I could never be with someone who is bothered by my beliefs, or who does not understand them.
Look, spiritual compatibility is very, very important for a healthy, long-term relationship, along with sexual compatibility, intellectual compatibility, and emotional compatibility. If you can't accept the whole person, then you shouldn't be in a relationship with them. You need a partner who can understand you, and who you can understand.
There are a lot of different spiritual beliefs out there, some of which you might find objectionable, but we all have the right to believe what we Will. You'll just, most likely, be happier in a relationship with someone who is accepting of your beliefs, and whose beliefs you can accept.

I think you would/could only have that level of relationship (to the point where you would wanna get married) with someone with the same basic beliefs you have, whether it's christian, jewish, buddhism, magic or mickey mouse... etc. Unless you're both really drunk getting married in vegas

Atheist here.
I would no more marry someone who believed in magic, spiritism, ghosts, telepathy, healing crystals, psychics, astrology, than I would equally deluded people who believe in God, Allah, or Odin.
I would never get past the first date if someone expressed any of the above beliefs, so marriage is out of the question.
(Happily married almost 20 years to a woman who is just as much a skeptic about weird beliefs as I am.)

Considering that I'm Wiccan, believe in ghosts and spirits, casting spells (its only the manipulation of energy after all, and we humans do that every day), I think I'd be just fine with it.
The Abrahamic religions, however, teach that its evil and they do everything they can to try to convert you to their religion. They aren't exactly tolerant. Though at least the Jews don't try to spread their religion unless you ask them what its about.

I know many people who are spiritualists ( spiritism is an old word )
and they do not use spells
that is not what the religion is about
and they do not pray to spirits
and yes why not ... I dont judge people based on beliefs
but then , I do not have conventional beliefs

i am not rather devout in any respect. buddhist if something. it will depend on if it makes you think uncomfortable, cos it might be really a problematic factor to manage. in my view if i cherished the character i might opt for it, as long as it wasn't taking up their lives or something. but when it went just a little too a long way as in it makes you uneasy or it is a bit obsessive then possibly re-consider?? no longer definite. that is a problematic one.

I gotta be honest I wouldnt be one bit comfortable.
As it is, I try to stay away from peeps who practice magic. And by magic I mean calling on dead spirits and other beings to do things.
That kind of magic is against Universal Law because its a direct interference with the natural order of things.

What are you afraid of? I hope that she is reconsidering being tied to you. It is sad to see a sister tied to mates like you. She would be better off with a mate that appreciates her for what she is. She doesn't need someone eating her self esteem away.

It would be no problem as long as we each respected the other's beliefs.
You should realize that to an 'outsider' even the 'mainstream' religions look pretty weird.
