Answer 1

Wicca is a much more open religion, which focuses on the personal connection to the divine. Within the Wiccan religion, each person is responsible for their spirituality and developing a personal relationship with God and Goddess. Some Wiccans practice in groups called covens, which are initiatory groups that requires a period of study before entering and are usually run by a form of Wiccan Clergy; while others choose solitary practice or in small non-traditional, loosely affiliated groups. Wiccan clergy are people who help other Wiccans along this path and are not a mediator between them and the divine.

The God and Goddess are seen as manifestations of divine energy that symbolize the cycles of nature, life and death, and rebirth. Wiccans do not see the God and Goddess as being separate from them or the rest of the world; therefore they have no need for a concept of salvation, since God and Goddess are at all times within and present to everyone. It is this openness and personal connection to the divine that has brought many people to embrace the Wiccan religion, which has continued to grow in followers in the United States, England, and many other countries.

Many Wiccans simply find the Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam) as being too constrictive and lacking the personal spirituality they have experienced in Wicca.

Answer 2

Hmm I too won't be able to see how one could integrate Christianity and Wicca into one. the two have very diverse ideals. If somebody calls themselves Wiccan, yet believes Christ to be their follower, then they can't have self belief interior the existence of greater advantageous than one god, for that reason making them no longer Wiccan. the significance of any faith is this is considerable thought...the single element that carry all different varieties of this is branches together (i.e believing in Christ is the single element that bonds a Catholic and a Baptist and believing in god and goddess is the main important element that bonds a Gardnerian and Alexandrian Wiccan). of direction there are additionally different factors which would be in comparison, which comprise a thought in an afterlife, yet maximum religions carry the comparable thought. So the place can a Christian bond with a Wiccan? How can somebody have self belief in Jesus Christ as their savior, yet flow against their faith and have self belief interior the existence of greater advantageous than one god? placing data aside there are people in a Christian branch stated as Gnostic's, that are the greater open-minded/non secular version of Christianity. Spiritually we share some traits, yet average our ideals are nonetheless massively diverse. and don't confuse Witchcraft with Wicca the two...there are people obtainable who declare to be one faith or have not any faith and prepare Witchcraft. that doesn't cause them to Wiccan. So prairie, such as you i will't see how somebody could be the two Wiccan and Christian. "i in my view do no longer see how that could ensue devoid of bending one or the different (or the two) so a techniques out of shape that the term "Christian" and/or "Wiccan" might no longer prepare to the consequence." I agree thoroughly. i'm fascinated however to envision the comments of people who disagree with us. stable question! merits a celebrity! Love and lightweight, Blessed Be

Answer 3

I (a christian) looked into Wicca for a while. Being honest with myself I determined it was the "freedom" of Wicca that interested me. Having become bogged down by the do's and don't's of my own faith(or denomination rather) I felt that the freedom offered by Wicca in being "allowed" to practice my faith alone was a plus. Not many "solitary" Christians are accepted by the mainstream, yet the Solitary Wiccan is "normal" to many I've discussed this with.

Answer 4

I think Wicca has what a lot of folks want.... a return to 'natural' things.... Nature, getting 'green', doing what's best for Mother Earth, accepting the possibility of male and FEMALE gods, using the things of Earth to heal or influence.... actually, when it comes right down to it, I think it's possible that they and the Native Americans are as close to'right' as anyone can get....

Answer 5

I think that a great many feel a natural affinity for naturalism, but a great many--as much as I hate to say it--simply want to perform magic. In some cases, their attraction to magic leads them to believe in Wicca without Magic, which also works, I suppose.

Answer 6

I've never been Christian, and I was led to Wicca by and for my gods.

Answer 7

I have no Idae what Wiccan is... I have never read any Potter things, or seen any of the movies. It just has not sparked my interest.

Answer 8

I want to make my mother mad at me. She hates it when we trample on the crucifix, have tantric orgies, and kiss the devil on the backside.

Answer 9

Harry potter, they think they can fly on brooms...

Answer 10

Lack of knowledge of the bible and direction from Christian brotherhood.
