Can you still believe in Wicca and perform it if you are christian?

Question

only answer if you know the truth.

Answer 1

I am Wicca, solitary for 12 years and recently ordained as a first degree priestess in the Correllian faith. I also respect my families' Christian/Catholic beliefs. I understand the Catholic beliefs (thou I do not always agree with them) and I would say that in many ways my path runs parallel to theirs so you could say I am both, yet primarily Wicca. I believe that if we are not meant to have these abilities then we would not be able to use them. So I believe that yes, we can do both, if we do so out of respect for both.

Answer 2

Wiccans usually have a different set of Gods than the Christian God, and the Christian First Commandment is "Thou shalt have no other Gods before Me." I have heard from people who practice both that by keeping all Gods equal they are obeying that Commandment; I'm not so sure. It seems that worshiping other Gods at all would not sit well with an Abrahamic God. However, there are Wiccan practices that can be carried over into a Christian mysticism practice, and there are Christian mystic practices. While I don't know much about them, two I have heard of is Enochian and Marcion(ism/ite). Try looking into those practices as they will probably work better for you than Wicca if you are remaining Christian in your beliefs.

Answer 3

From a Christian perspective: no

Wicca is an initiatory religion which means you would need to be dedicated and initiated into it by a High Priest/ess of a particular tradition. Each tradition uses a different pantheon of Gods & Goddesses. Just because someone has read some books, does not mean they are Wiccan - they only follow the basic, primary principles of the faith which is much more encompassing than any book can ever explain.

Each sect of Christianity has its own guidelines as to what makes a person a Christian. Since it only recognizes the male aspect of Divinity it does not accept the balance of male & female. The closest form of Christianity you will find will probably be Catholic since they venerate Mary as well as Jesus/God.

Answer 4

Wicca is a religion in its own which denies Abrahamic dieites; As is the same with Christianity which denies any other dieties. So the overall answer would be no as it would be a conflict of theology

As for whether or not you can believe in or even practice the more...interesting pieces of wicca - such as magick and or divination - that is a sort of practice all of its own adopted by wicca and several other religions the world over. You can indeed indulge in such - but remember that God not only forbids all such things spiritual, but he also decrees death upon any who do. As such, if you follow such path, God will consider you a gentile and will not hesitate to strike your life from this Earth.

I personally suggest you do indeed follow the spiritual path even if not into Wicca - it will lead you to a truth far beyond Christ, one which Christians cannot imagine let alone fathom. The ultimate reward.

Answer 5

Wicca is a religion, not something to perform.

If you mean MAGIC, and are just calling it Wicca, there are many forms of magic that are Christian in nature. I suggest reading the magical writings of Thomas Vaughan for more info.

Wicca is a complete religion, it doesn't need another religion added to it.

Answer 6

Actually, the truth on this one is subjective. New Wiccans Will tell you no, a lot of the serious Wiccans will tell you yes, since the rituals of the church are quite similar, and then there are some witchier than thou who claim anyone not doing it their way is not a real Wiccan anyway.

As a witch (not to be confused with Wiccan) I say use whatever deity or deities that most resonate with you.

Answer 7

It has been my experience that one can only devote themselves to one path or another.
Considering the bias that the christian religion has against witches and the craft, real or perceived, it is still very much against their core beliefs. Not to mention that christianity thinks that it is the only true way to "salvation".
Pagan beliefs in general are more earth based and tolerant and respectful of all beliefs, as long as we have the common courtesy and respect to practice as we wish.. We do not look to convert people.
If this is something that you seriously are considering and want to know more, i would suggest you take it up with your spiritual advisor in your congregation, priest or whatever their title is.
Then and only then will you get the answer you seek.

Blessings to you and good luck with your search for your true spiritual calling....but please remember, To Thine Own Self Be True

Blessed Be

Answer 8

Can you practice two religions at the same time. No

I have a friend however who has beliefs in wicca and in christianity. She dosen't try to label herself with religions. In general she believes god is both male and female, she believes in jesus, the power of the elements, and magic from the divine. All in all it is possible to have religious beliefs from one or more religions. Just best to not call yourself one or the other. She prefers to be called a Christian Witch. Most of the pagan community is cool with it and welcomes her with open arms. Some of the catholic friends she have do the same, and some do not. All in all however not many people travel this road. Blessed be and god bless in whatever you decide to do.

Answer 9

Why not, now adays people call themselves christians and do whatever they want. Just be like everyone else and find a part of the bible you don t like and ignore it.

Answer 10

What does light have have to do with darkness? If you are a True Christian, the Holy Spirit which God has instilled in you upon conversion and baptism, would expose the lies of Satan and would allow you to see it as it truly is......a Satanically inspired and deceptive "religion of abominations" against God.
