Well you are supposed to go through "The year and a day" study period :)
And after that you can decide weather or not you want to be a wiccan, I have been studying magic/wicca since i was 14, that was 3 years ago.
I have done a dedication ritual but I'm still learning, I wont call myself a wiccan but i do Practice solitary wicca.

Yes there is a such thing as "Christian-Wicca" and don't let anyone tell you there isn't.
Wicca is a religion that Believes in "The Goddess and God" and you are allowed to Worship them in any form that calls to you, weather it is Cernunos and Rhianon or Jesus and Mary, It doesn't matter.

As with any religion, I'd say being a Wiccan is just a matter of agreeing with the dogma and then practicing the proposed moral codes and occasional ceremony. There may be initiary rites, but they're pretty rare, and it all depends on who you talk to.
Wicca has deities, so yes, of course you can believe in "God". You can take the view that the God and Goddess are part of one single "All" being.
Unfortunately, Wicca does not have one central canon nor official organization that represents the religion, so I would suggest buying books on Wicca from several different authors to get an idea on what it's about.

My first Wiccan e book replaced into as quickly as via way of Scott Cunningham, Wicca, A handbook for the Solitary Practitioner. i made up my innovations the e book to be directed interior the path of wiccans, besides the undeniable fact that just to 'look at it on for length I observed his practice instructions. in the time of those I felt a actual connection that has saved me on a Wiccan path ever considering the undeniable fact that. Many persons say Raven Wolf on condition that he promises significant parts of understanding in one e book. whilst you're like me which would be over whelming and sophisticated. I come across that the friendly technique of gain if in spite of is nice for you, practice it and word the way you think of throughout the time of and after.

There is a process to becoming a priestess in Wicca. But, you can follow a solitary Wiccan path and not have a formal process to it. It depends on what works best for you.
As for the belief in God and the story of Jesus, there are differing schools of thought there. On the christian side of it, No, you cannot. They believe witches are evil and the practice of the craft is strictly forbidden.
On the Wiccan side, they are more accepting of what others believe. However, there are some Wiccans who believe you cannot be both. There is a christian wicca path. Here's their website: http://www.christianwicca.org

Wiccans, like other New Age religions, use the Bible stories and teachings that fit their understanding and reject everything else. If you believe in the God of the Bible, then you must also understand that He is holy we are estranged from Him because of sin. All the craft of mankind cannot restore that fellowship. God sent His Son Jesus to restore that fellowship by dying on the cross for our sins that He may forgive us and give us life.
Wicca tries to find another way to God. Jesus said that He was the door God's sheepfold. Those who try to get in any other way are false (John 10). So to believe in the God of the Bible and in Wicca is contradictory. Jesus said that there is no other way to the Father except through Jesus (John 14:6). So He did not leave a back door for Wiccans to get into the kingdom of Heaven apart from Himself.

ask questions
evaluate them with your own experience
don't let others become a guru or boss to you
join groups cause you want to, not out of coercion
respect life, (humans, earth, animals, insects, etc) and do not push your views on others
keep an open mind and a closed mouth but make your questions count when you must

As an ex-wiccan I can tell you first you should sit in an incinerator for a while and if you love the heat, I would say enjoy.

I think you may want to research something called Christo-Wicca.
