Hi, newbie with potentially annoying question!

The most thrilling thing for me was that it fit me - I didn't feel like I had to try to make something part of my life. It wanted to be part of my life, if you know what I mean.

So yes, I do believe certain people are born witches. As we go through life, we become aware of tendencies towards certain things. It's a wonderful thing when we find a way to incorporate our innate senses and desires into our religion and spirituality.

Welcome! If you need any pointers or want to chat about it, say the word!

Hey winter rose.

I have heard other people get really stroppy when people ask about natural witches!

That is so similer to how I feel. Sad thing is, I don't feel I can tell anyone. My connection to nature has always been huge. I never wanted to worship it, but to connect with it. Christianity wasn't enough for me, but by christianity I mean the established practices alone. Jesus has always been enough, but my walk with him never seemed close enough. Oddly enough, it was scripture that encouraged me to embrace this. The bible is full of spirits and animate nature i.e. stones cry out, trees clap hands, stars sing. I have always loved the bible and have studied for years, including in the original languages. What I found there persuaded me to seek ultimate closeness to God, to embrace all arcs of His creation fearlessly, to be magickal and to recognise the masculine and feminine sides to our God. I guess that makes me unusual!

I think we can be born witches because it was Gods intention for those he chooses to connect with him this way.

I would LOVE to talk sometime. It's nice to find someone walking the road I am. It can get lonely for christian witches

This is basically the way I felt when I first started my journey toward being a Christian Witch... I felt that I was missing something in just Christianity alone and needed that extra connection with nature and magick. Becoming a Christian Witch was the right path for me.

It is so good to hear from you all! I'm not the only one! I think it was more the religious add ons to christianity that kept me from the divine, like the idea that magik is evil. It made it so difficult for me to communicate with God because magikal things would happen whenever I tried. Suppressing that side of me meant backing away from Jesus. I started my journey to be a christian witch because it meant that ALL of me was devoted to christ, instead of just a small part.

Our heavenly father, Gods son our saviour and the holy spirit, our mother here on earth with us now, are praised by all creation! I want to join with the earth, the heavens, spirits and angels in adoring the one-god who is many!

That's how I feel about it as well. I could not have said it better!
