Answer 1

you can mix whatever you want together, its your path, follow it where it takes you!

Answer 2

Actually, no you can't just mix any religion with Wicca... at least not and have it be recognisable as Wicca.

Most people do not follow every textbook point about their religion, and lots of people are influenced by other religions. So in that sense, yes, you can mix religions. However, you frequently cannot mix the really central, defining parts of one religion with another. For example, Christianity is inherentlly monotheistic, and Wicca is inherently polytheistic. You can't be both a monotheist and a polytheist. You just can't. There's plenty of other big problems with that combination too. Original sin makes zero sense in Wicca. Therefore there's no need for a savior.

Now, you could be a Christian who happens feel that God reveals himself through nature, believes in environmentalism and gender equality, and is generally tolerant of other beliefs. But you would be fooling yourself to say those things make you Wiccan.

Answer 3

Yes, you can. Voodoo is a mix of all sorts of different religions. Also, the Romans were pretty keen on integrating parts of religion into their own after conquering a group of people. It helps them transistion to Roman rule easier.

Another example would be some of the christian holidays. They are based on pagan holidays. Christmas, Easter, April Fool's Day, and Halloween are from pagan holidays. The christians used these holidays to try convert pagans. They took a pagan holiday and gave it a christian version of it. Once again, this was to help the transition of one religion to another.

Answer 4

You are your own experience.
Religion provides nothing but inspiration.
You have to walk your walk and save yourself by finding God inside you.
The process of enlightenment has been achieved by many people records start with Zoroaster and Melchizedek then Krishna and Buddha continuing with Jesus.
All were the same experience each scripture is their attempt to explain and share, these scriptures coloring the nature of their respective religions. Seek the experience, the stories only hint at what's possible, they do not define the limitations of your spirit. Your spirit is of God.

Answer 5

final incorrect premise you're confusing faith and perception, consumer-friendly false impression. center incorrect premise assuming order and timeframe to be precise isn't biblically actual considering that there are literally 3 advent thoughts interior the Bible. yet besides the story you relate ignores Gen 2.4 "those are the generations of the heavens and of the earth while they have been created, interior the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven." This verse with the references to 'GENERATIONS of the heavens and of the earth while they have been created', and 'interior the DAY that Jehovah God made earth and heaven'; are specially blanketed to make clean to all people who can study that the previous become a tale to no longer be interpreeted actually as days, as a effect the generations referece and single day reference. First incorrect premise, God created the heavens and the earth, does not say what become there first. God consistently existed so no longer something by no skill existed. the super bang as a theory is basically that a theory to describe what we see as an increasing universe, the logical opposite of it fairly is a beginning up element. to anticipate opposite logic as medical evidence is questionable technology to assert the least. Sorry to disprove technology with evidence and logic....yet fairly I made it extraordinarily elementary, relatively for you....

Answer 6

No reason why you cant, might cause internal conflicts later when you end up torn between two ideas (like the monotheism in christianity and a polytheistic religion) but if it works then its all good :) It's called "eclecticism"

Answer 7

Yes.

Islam is a mixture of tribal religions, zoroastriansim and christianity/judaism.

Christianity is a mixture of judaism, tribal religion and odd mixtures of other faiths that were assimilated by christianity.

Judiasm is a mixture of beliefs of at least the tribes of israel, all mashed together into one.

Religion has tended to be fairly adaptable.

Answer 8

Yes, but the resulting religion is not either of the ones mixed in.

Answer 9

Yes that is what Constantine did to the Catholic Church.
Just as Constantine refused to fully embrace the Christian faith, but continued many of his pagan beliefs and practices, so the Christian church that Constantine promoted was a mixture of true Christianity and Roman paganism.

Answer 10

I cant speak for the rest, but if you mix Asatru and any religion..... Asatruars get pretty pissed. but it depends on how you mix them.

If you mix asatru tradition and other gods..... its going to take restraint for me to not punch you in the face.

If you mix asatru gods and other traditions... we will just think your an idiot. If you mix asatru values and another religeon.... we tend to like you. We wish you'd see the way we see.... and we might get a bit fanatical about it. becuse you are right on the cusp of finding Odin and the other gods (well identifing them as how asatruars belive them to be.... to be A religious)

That is about all I can say. I tried for a time to mix asatru and Christianity..... didnt work. In theory it is possible, but.... it was like oil and water.

I recomend that instead of trying to make your own, you just find one you like and work to make it better.

Answer 11

Considering religion (every time the word is used in the bible is negative) is all about man made rules on how you can be good enough to get to God is sending more to hell than any other thing. Christianity is all about what God did to come to you (dying on the cross for your sins). Mix them all you want you wont be any closer to God. Leave religion and read the bible, trust Christ and he will save you. You do need to go to church but go to one that teaches the bible not mans doctrine (like the catholic church steeped in tradition and forgetting the bible.) Find a bible believing church and serve God.
