If you are now a Wiccan, why would it matter to you what Christian belief is about hell, and whether you are going there? LOL I guess they are gonna tell you that since you left "the one true faith" and became a "pagan" you're doomed. But they will, I am sure, tell you too, that if you repent, reject your wicked Wiccan alliance, and return to the bosom of your original Christian Faith, Jesus will again open his arms to you, and you will be taken off the "Hell" list and re-instated for the heavenly destination when you die.
If, on the other hand, you refuse to turn your back on Wicca, then you're doomed some day to get tossed into that fiery pit where you will be left to scream and holler in excrutiating agony for aaaaaaaall eternity. Hehehehe good luck.

Salvation is dependent on a relationship with Jesus. I don't know much about Wiccan, but from what I understand, it would be difficult to follow both Wiccan and Jesus at the same time. And there's always the question of which is more important. I can assure you of this...if you don't want to be saved, God wont save you regardless of what you've told Him in the past. If I were you, I'd get my Bible back out and see what God says about how to live your my life and who should I follow.

I hope my response doesn't anger you. I do mean to be respectful. As a Christian myself, I would rather not say "Once saved always saved". It makes the grace of God seem trivial. I find it a tragedy that the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been turned into a "Get out of Hell" free message. When you truely accept Jesus Christ as Savior there is a change in your life that you can not nor will not return from. I like to say "Once you have Jesus in your life, you will always have Jesus in your life". I appreciate your honesty about not being a Christian anymore but fact is that you are either for or against Jesus Christ. It saddens me that there are many church goers that attend church services every Sundays in order to recieve their "Get out of Hell Free" cards and care nothing about recieving Jesus in their lives.

I'm not a fan of the "once saved always saved" argument for one major reason...it isn't stated as such in the bible. Too many verses suggest that those who practice the "works of the flesh" (including specific mention of idolatry and witchcraft in, for example, Galatians 5) will not "inherit the kingdom of God".
I'm not saying that "once saved always saved" isn't true...but that isn't my call, that is God's call.
It just seems like an awful risky strategy if you care about where you'll spend eternity. If you (or anyone else) wants to seize on one (or a few) verses you (or they) believe promise eternal life for simply "becoming saved", you may be correct. For me, I prefer to have greater confidence and security offered by applying the entire message to my life.

I would have to ask, how do you know you were/are saved at 17?
Frankly, if you were truly saved, you would have had no desire to become wiccan.
Wiccans derive their "power" from the wrong source. Why would you want to tap into the wrong one? Was God not enough for you? Do you not understand this other sourse?
I would conclude you just thought you were saved.
In Wiccan, you attempt to control this power to do your will. In the end, the power will control you.
I harbor no ill will towards Wiccans. I happen to know quite a number of them. The ones that know me no longer feel threatened by me, but the ones who are deep into it recognize me the moment they see me, and the hatred in their eyes is quite revealing. They hate and fear one such as myself.
One tried to put a controlling spell on me, and it blew up in her face as she touched my arm. She had to go lie down and recuperate.
Are you absolutely sure you want to tap into a power that is so inferior; a power that promises so much and delivers so little?

If you were in a Bible-believing church, they would have already admonished you and called you to repentance. Witchcraft one of a number of scandalous sins in the Bible. You need to turn away from your sinful life and get yourself into a good church, and under good preaching. There are many a Christian that have fallen into snares - but the Bible tells us that Jesus is merciful and just as the story of the protocol son teaches, there is always forgiveness for those which turn to the Lord.

Well, a Christian response is:
Think of the story of the prodigal son. It was a parable that Jesus preached. The son got tired of living under his father so he asked for his share of wealth and went off on his way. When his luck and money ran out, he finally caved in and came home. But instead of working for his father in the pig pen like he expected, his father was over joyed to see him and threw a feast to celebrate his return.
I think that story is your story. You are the son, and God is the father. Maybe you want to see what's out there in the world and God gladly lets you go on your separate path. When you want to go back to your father (God), he will be happy to see you! However, if you never return, how can there be a warm welcome and a celebration feast?
Basically, you'll probably be saved again when you come back to God the father. But if you never come home to that, I don't think you will be saved.

You cannot be involved with the Wiccan religion and somehow be a Christian as well. Pay special attention to the Galations verse as it speaks about witchcraft. Your choices already speak volumes.
Matthew 7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!"
Galatians 5:19-21 "The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkeness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."

If you have left the faith and do not believe in Christ anymore then you were never saved in the first place. If you are angry at God and have rebelled against Him but still believe then you are saved. I will not say anymore because I do not know if you are being sarcastic because there are many people on here that ask sarcastic questions.

i think you are judged based on your beliefs. if you had a true testimony of christ and rejected him anyways, then that wont look to good.
as far as hell, if you reject him again after you die and receive a full knowledge, then you will go to hell, but you wouldnt do that, would you?
also, if you are wiccan now, are you scared of hell since you dont believe in it?
