How do i become a christian wiccan???

[Cristelle]

I've put a lot of thought into this and I think being a christian wiccan is right for me. I would like to read about it a little more so if anyone has any good books to reccomend, please do. Also is there any ritual done to convert from a catholic to a christian wiccan?? Like a wiccaning of some sort? How would converting be accomplished? I'm 14 years old and I've discussed it with my parents and they think I should do whatever I feel is right. I am considering to convert.

unless you plan on joining a coven, there really is no conversion process, as far as i know... you just start practicing... there are plenty of christian witches here who can help you further, i would suggest you just think about what your beliefs are, and setting up your system that way... there are plenty of books out there to read, and plenty of people to talk to... someone else will be able to tell you more..

If that is your choice then you should start by thinking about your beliefs, reading books, and talking to people in this forum. I am a witch who pulls from the christian as well as pagan faiths...so if you have any questions feel free to ask.

I would also encourage you to stay true to your beliefs and not let yourself be dissauded by what anyone else says, as you'll undoubtedly find resistance from both sides.

I would also point out that while everyone who has responded to this thread has mentioned Christian witches, Christian Wiccans are not the same thing. I'm not going to go through the whole 'Christian Wiccanism doesn't work' thing, but I think that you should do a great deal of research into the theology of each and decide for yourself whether you think the two are compatible, keeping in mind that you can be a witch without being a Wiccan.

If you wish to hear from someone who used to be a Wiccan and made Christianity her Divine focus for her present verision of a Wiccan path, go to this website, and you can also join the Christian Wicca Yahoo group, both of which relate to the book she wrote

Basically, if I remember correctly (I have the book on my computer, but it's been a while since I read it, and I'm a Christian witch, not a Christian Wiccan), both the God and the Goddess are seen as triune. God is Yahweh (Father), Jesus (Son), Holy Spirit (um... spirit), and the Goddess is seen as either the Shekinah or the Sophia (Mother), Mary Magdelene (Daughter), and Holy Spirit (again, spirit). Many who call themselves Christian Wiccans have variations of that, like Heavenly incarnations (Yahweh and Sophia/Shekinah), Earthly incarnations (Jesus, one of the Marys), and the Holy Spirit being both.

The quarters are guarded by the archangels when casting the circle. Michael is fire, Raphael is air, Gabriel is water, Uriel is earth (if I remember correctly).

There is also a lot of Golden Dawn, Nag Hammadi, Apocrypha, Gnostic, and I think Enochian stuff involved as well, but your best bet would be to get her online book, read it, then go to the Yahoo group when you have more questions. There are a lot of people on there that know what they're talking about, including some other book authors (though for privacy reasons, I won't disclose who they are).
