How about Holy Water? Holy Water is water that has been blessed by a priest or official of the Church. Why is water a part of Christian practice, since nature is often condemned by the Church? Water is one of the basic natural elements that was worshiped in pre-Christian pagan times. Pagans believed that water had a “cleansing” power, not just physically but mentally and spiritually. They would “cleanse” themselves in sacred springs, rivers, and wells. Ways to incorporate Christian witchcraft into your daily life. Daily rituals/prayers, meditation, candles, nature walks, sustainable living, public service, etc. I’ve spent quite a bit of time studying Wicca, Paganism and other paths of Witchcraft over the years and while I certainly do draw from some of them, in some ways I find many of the “rules” of organised witchery to be just as dogmatic as the church. That may ruffle some feathers, but if you’ve spent any time in the witchy communities online you’ll know some of those communities can be just as “my way or the highway” as other religious groups! So for me being a Christian Witch is all about doing things my own way. What are my beliefs about different entities and spirits? E.g. nature spirits, deities, guides, fae, angels, and demons. Would I work with any of these entities in my craft? A large majority of the Neo-Pagan population were not born into magic or the Craft. They were Catholic, Jewish, Pentecostal, Baptist… and so the list goes on. At one point in our upbringing, we began to question the parameters of our belief systems, which is how we land in an alternative belief system. Wicca and Paganism vs. Witchcraft

Then you'll want to figure out how you intend to blend your Christianity with witchcraft. Here's a list of some things you'll want to work out for yourself (again, no right or wrong answers!) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. - John 14:6

Wicca and Paganism vs. Witchcraft

As a transformation agent on the planet, she was called by destiny to sell her financial planning practice with American Express Financial Advisors in 2004 where she served hundreds of clients for 7 years. How will I use witchcraft so that is conforms with my values as a Christian? Are there any practices I will refuse to use because of my Christian values? Are there any practices I want to use because of my Christian values? Both the Gnostic and Coptic approaches to the Faith had strong overtones of ancient Pagan tradition. Certainly, the name of a patron God became Jesus or “Lord of Lords.” And then the incantation would go on to recitations of the Trinity, apostles, and archangels. There were documented approaches for achieving a goal through this incantation including keeping a woman from sexual advances, returning a stolen object, driving away evil and extracting justice.

There is also some poorly understood early Church history detailing how the Nicene council was a superficially Christian, predominantly pagan device used by the pagan Constantine to consolidate pagan factions into what became the Roman Catholic Church so as to choose sides in the earliest Christian schism between gnostics and pistics. There is so much more but it appears to be a hot mess of jumbled fact, mythologized history, and baseless speculation. The statue of Peter in Rome is said to actually be the statue of Jupiter (Jo-Peter), for example.The plural "witchcrafts" (in the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American)) stands for the Hebrew noun just noticed (keshaphim) in 2Kings 9:22; Micah 5:12; Nahum 3:4, but in all three passages a proper rendering would be "sorceries" or "magical arts." "Witchcrafts" is inaccurate and misleading.

As is the case with a lot of Christian witches, Christo-paganism is often a self-made path, and beliefs and practices vary widely from person to person. Some Christo-pagans identify as Christians with pagan leanings, others as pagans with Christian leanings, and some who attempt to combine the paths equally. For the most part, Christian Witches look to Gnostic and Coptic practices as a starting point. They can also take the historical route through the years when Christianity was just making a mark on the Roman world, so magic and the Faith had a lot of overlap. As a tiny tot in my grandmother's railroad apartment in Harlem, USA (where I lived with my younger brother, my mom and beloved grandpa) I saw spirits, communed with otherworldly entities and generally spent most of my time 'daydreaming' as they called it... (I was likely somewhere off on the astral plane) anyhoo... There are some charts and explanations (not overly burdened by evidence) describing the pagan and gnostic roots of not only certain Christian practices (Quakers and Old Catholics (?) are mentioned) but also forms of Judaism, Zen Buddhism, and Taoism.

Practices of a Christian Witch

The 11th century saw the arrival of Scholasticism. Scholastic philosophy meant that all of created nature became an object of scrutiny from which scholastics could create a model that applied to everything. The inquisitorial eye began to fix itself on aspects of folklore that had been smiled away or incorporated into Christian worship in earlier periods. When you're comfortable with witchcraft by itself you can then also read these books on Christian Witchcraft: One of the most famous symbols of the Inquisition's witch-craze was the publication of the Malleus Maleficarum ( Witches' Hammer) by Jakob Sprenger and Heinrich Kramer. These two Dominican monks wrote a lurid account of what witches were "really" like and what they "really" did -- an account which would rival modern science fiction in its creativity, not to mention its fictitiousness. The penalty for practicing witchcraft under the Mosaic Law was death ( Exodus 22:18; Leviticus 20:27). First Chronicles 10:13 tells us that 'Saul died because he was unfaithful to the LORD; he did not keep the Word of the LORD and even consulted a medium for guidance," the ministry noted. Why, when confessing my ” sins” to the priest as a young boy or an adolescent the first question I would be asked was if I had already known certain ” pleasures” ( solitary or “social”) and if so, the penance was always much more severe than if I told him I had beaten up my little brother (* or sister), lied to my parents, etc?,
