David, the Christianization of Europe primarily occured during the middle ages. I have seen sources of this in several places. Though I cannot remember all of the places I have read about this, here is one of them.

Wiki isn't really a good source, but, thanks for it anyway, although, I'm still not sure, 'cause, the idea of Pagans surviving, aside from remore rural places, sounds really far-fetched.

Here's basically the idea of blending Christianity and Paganism, taken from this site:



***I send thanks to HurbGirl for providing this link.***

Another source of information about becoming a Christo-Pagan would be the book "Sister Karol's Book of Spells and Blessings", you can probably order it through your local bookstore or borrow it from your library. It's a book that is designed specifically for Christian Wiccans/Witches.

I hope this helps.

I wouldn't say it's blending. I'ts more like God using us a vehicle for divine power. Just my take.

1. Witchcraft is a practice, while Wicca is a religion.
2. This site is extremely helpful:
