Can a person that practices   wicca be a christian that also believes in jesus and his birth and resurrection?

Yes, you can.  It depends on what YOU believe.  There are wiccan/christians.  They say one compliments the other.  Search YOUR heart and ignore the 'noise' from others.

Christian Witches don't exist. The beliefs of a Christian and that of a Wiccan/Witch are not compatible. It is impossible to be both. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you.

I see what you mean.  The bible says not to judge people.  There is no problem with talking to people who are differant or have differant ideas.  Just make sure you are strong in your faith, and it could be an opportunity to witness to her.  Just realize Wicca is the wrong way, and far from where God wants us to be.  Maybe try and help her see where she has gone wrong.

I converted to wicca 7 years ago....I think the reason I like it is because all those little things christian's deam as a figment of my imagination are real to wiccan's. I can find truth in alot of things I could not explain before...it just felt like home to me.

My former roommate is wiccan and she was the coolest. From the few times  ever really listened to her ramble abt wiccanism, it sounded a whole lot better than christianity. Wiccans believe in protecting the environment,not judging people and enlightening people about their religion/beliefs.She always did that and unlike the christians,didn't ram her beliefs down my throat every chance I gave her. \n\nMAYBE I SHOULD TRY IT OUT. I'M LOOKING FOR A NEW CHURCH.SOME CHRISTIANS BRING SHAME TO GOD,I INCLUDED

It really depends on the Wiccan. Many of them wont outwardly say what they believe in either. It's a very spiritual thing that varies from person to person. Many believe in higher powers other than the Goddess, called the "All", some believe she is the "All". Personally I believe that she's everything and everyone. Both metaphysical like the christian god, and physically. Think of her as being your mother. That's what she is. She guides our path. As far as spirits go, they're everywhere. That's a really complicated subject that could take hours to type. =D Wiccans also practice forms of magick, usually staying away from variant forms of "black" magick. And we also believe in Karma, both from past lives (yes, reincarnation), and from the things we do today. There's no "sin" like in Christianity, but, when you do something "bad" it affects your Karma in this life and the next. There's a lot about Wicca that's hard to explain, you're best bet would be to find a website. If you do a google search tons of stuff will come up. \n\nSome of the words of the Great Mother (the Goddess) were: \n"And you who seek to know Me, know that your seeking and yearning will avail you not, unless you know the Mystery: If that wich you seek, you find not within yourself, you will never find it without. For behold, I have been with you from the beginning, and I am that which is attained at the end of desire."

I thought you said you are both Christian. Only pagans celebrate birthdays.

Yes. Reincarnation doesn't require faith; it just is. One of the biggest attractions of Christianity and organized religion in general is its unconscious familiarity to persons who were acquainted with it in past lives. Religion in particular has a strong attraction to the reincarnated individual because religion embodies the concept of the eternal soul and the afterlife. Christianity especially appeals to persons who have a vague and muddled sense of having lived before -- this is why they seem to feel a mysteriously "this is so right" bond with Jesus Christ, why they feel in some inexplicable way (to themselves) that they feel his "presence." And it's not just memories of the church in past lives they're sensing; it's also the deep empathy they feel with the concepts of dying and being resurrected (as represented by Jesus and the Christian faith), down deep in their soul. Devout Christians sometimes affirm reincarnation through their mystical and magical devotion to the Christian religion. \n\nAlthough modern Christianity is inclined to vehemently deny its connection to reincarnation through the teachings of Jesus, the Dead Sea Scrolls are evidence that Jesus was a leader among the Jewish sect known as the Essenes; Essenes were devout Jews who believed that the end of the world was near, in baptism, communal life, vegetarianism, reincarnation, healing and peace. Of course, modern day Christianity refuses to believe Jesus was an Essene and a Reincarnationist, but their refusal to accept Jesus as he really was doesn't change the truth.

i believe in the effects witchcraft is alleged to have, for example conjuring spirits and causing maladies or, on the other hand, healing, because this is what jesus did himself, but i don't believe in witches that have supernatural powers and stuff; it all comes from gods or devil; of course, some of them are hoax

The best answer to your question is H. Wiccans strongly believe in reincarnation (C) but in a very different sense than Hindus or other eastern religions do.\nMany Wiccans believe that when they die they go to a place of reflection called "the summerland." Here they can commune with other people in the same afterlife state and reflect on the learning experiences of their lives. After a certain period they will return to this plane to take on another body. The purpose of it all, insofar as it can be put into words, is learning, growth and evolution towards greater love and wisdom.\nIt is worth noting that Wicca is a somewhat broad category and there are some people who consider themselves Wiccans who believe in different versions of the above general theme.

I am very interested in Wicca but the reason there are so many Christian questions on here is because there are so many Christians that have strong beliefs and convictions that they will get on here and state them.  If more believers in Wicca were to post their opinions and beliefs on here, and offered up more information, people would have a chance to understand and talk.  You started out great with your question, but then you too ended it with a nasty comment.  My advice (which you can take or leave) if you want people to be more open to your beliefs, trying being more open to theirs.  You don't have to embrace beliefs, but be open to listening and accepting that is what they feel and believe.  If all religions did that, maybe there wouldn't be so many wars over religious beliefs!

I have to disagree with everyone else.  I believe you can.  \n\nBy definition, a Christian is someone that believes that Jesus was the son of God and that only through him can you find salvation.  \n\nThe bible is secondary.  That majority of Christians find their faith through the bible, but you can be a Christian (by definition) and not believe in the bible.\n\nSo, if you are someone who is Christian by definition (see above) but do not believe in the bible... you could hold whatever belief you find to be the most true in your own heart.

Yes of course.  Wicca is not so pushy, nor do they tend to kill those who disagree.

It's a Pagan religion. There's a God and a Goddess who are equally important. There are 8 holidays. Halloween/Hallow's Eve/Samhain is New Years. Beltane/May Day (May 1st) is basically a holiday meant to be spent with the one you love for some passionate interactions (based on the union of the God and Goddess)... the religion is mainly dualistic, but, can be quite polytheistic if you allow it to. Many Wiccans perform magick, but, one does not have to if they do not want to. They believe in "An it harm none, do as thou will" and the Law of Threefold Return, where if you do something -- good or bad -- it'll come back threefold. Anything else you'd like to know?

No. Just because someone was raised with the moral teachings of Christianity doesn't mean they are Christian. Being a Christian means being born again, a choice one has to make to be.

No its not possible to be a Christian witch, it goes against ways of Christianity and which ever branch of witchcraft you are referring to. In Christian beliefs, not only is it a sin to be a witch, but there is the belief in most branches of Pagan religions in more than one god/dess (while there is no “supreme” god in most cases of witchcraft) \n\nBeaufortbeauty … not all witchcraft is about appreciating nature and its bounties. Not all witchcraft is Wicca.  Wicca is a fairly “modern” branch of witchcraft, created by Gardner. It has some basis in traditional witchcraft, but not much. As for Wicca not having a supreme god, no it don’t, it has a goddess, The Lady, who is worshipped as the creator. And in her absence, The Lord. \n\nCookie777.… the practice and symbolism behind Christmas, everything from the 12 days of Christmas, the use of mistletoe, holly, the colors red and green, the image of Santa himself, among others, where taken from the Pagan stories, symbols, and celebrations of Yule. Yule is a pagan holiday (and even Christians use the term Yuletide), when Christianity became the power in religion, it needed to draw in followers, to do this, they incorporated many of the pagan symbols and celebrations into Christianity to make it more easy to convert to. Look at the old churches across Europe, many of them have images of pagan gods and pagan symbols in the artwork. Easter is another holiday once celebrated by pagans, Ostara. From Ostara you get the symbolism of the egg (a symbolism for fertility), the hare (this is your easter bunny, but the hare is also a symbolic representive of the goddess Ostara). Coloring of eggs: these were offered as gifts to bring blessings of prosperity and abundance to someone’s life.
