Ok, Im been bashing this about for a while, a long while. Has anyone had this dilemma. I feel like I can’t get off the crossroads. I still have a strong attachment to my Christian faith, but not the congregation as it and I didn’t mix well. (I leave the type of Christian out as I don’t want to offend). I still pray. But I love my craft, and am also attached to The deities, Morrigan especially. My soul feels fine with all of it, and half of me wants to make my own way through this spiritual sea, (turn left) and the other half wants to walk away from the Christian way and embrace Wicca (turn right).I love both paths. Has anyone been through this sort of thing. Yes my ex congregation were not good but they’re just people, not Gods, so I am still attached to the faith as a whole. I’ve chatted to Morrigan, I’ve consulted my cards, everything says no need to make any decisions, just let spirit lead. Just putting this out there, trying to unscramble my head from my heart. I kinda want both. Guess this is why The Morrigans still with me, still stuff to sort out. Has anyone sat at a crossroads like this, I’ve been sat here for ages, I’ve embraced Wicca in my heart and my old faith too. At the end of the day, all creation is divine and comes from divine, we just honour through different deities I think🤷.
This is how I feel too, I love and embrace it all 
If someone tells me I can’t do or be something, I just smile and say that it must be awfully limiting to live in your world 
That is so true. The world is full of wonders. Thankyou 
The only advice I have for you is listen to your intuition. Don’t let anyone do or tell you what you can do or believe in. Do what feels right to you.
This is good advice, my immediate family is good with witchcraft, and my mum is thrilled. She keeps buying me books.
. Others I know, not so understanding hence my fold away altar (my India table folds up )that I can put up and put down when needed. Think a boundary spell/ritual might help with this. Thanks again
All I can really offer is to do what makes your heart shine 
If your heart & intuition are telling you that you’re doing the right the things, then you are doing what makes you, you.
Hey @tracyS,
You have wrapped up my whole year long journey right here. You can totally do both! I love so many aspects of the Christian faith that I was raised in. I don’t love other aspects of it. I love aspects of the craft and Wicca. I have not found a single reason why I can’t love both. I started my journey reading a book called “My Path as a Christian Witch” by St. Clair and I may be at the pont where I am ready to go back and read it again… but basically, it boils down to the fact that Christianity and witchcraft can be compatible (GASP) and that if it helps you feel more complete in your spiritual journey, so be it.
I’ve decided, for me, that it works. For example, instead of celebrating Ostara this year, I celebrated Easter with my family. I still celebrated the changing of the seasons, the rebirth of spring, the fabulous story of the bunny laying eggs, fertility, etc. but I also celebrated sacrifices that I believe were made for me.
At Christmas, I merged the solstice and Christian versions of the holiday and celebrated the birth of the light… the light being both a literal symbol… the days getting longer, and the light of the world.
I still pray. I don’t really feel like I need deities at this point as I just feel pretty connected to the Lord and Lady - divine feminine and masculine. You could even choose to worship the God of the Christian pantheon, Mary, and the saints. I think that every culture has developed dieties, both feminie and masculine, to name and give life to the traits and ideals that they find sacred and whichever you feel most connected to and supported by is the absolute best option for you! And you can change whenever you feel drawn to!
I don’t know, in my head (and my heart) it just all fits together so nicely and I don’t see a reason why I have to choose. I had to work through a lot of fear (am I going to hell for believing this?? what if I’m wrong?, etc.) but I have felt more spitirually whole this year exploring the craft and how it works with my other beliefs than I have in my entire life. I wish the same for you, whatever you choose!
My moms friend who is a Christian de ided that today wss the day i needed to be wRned about hell and so oni just laughed and walked awy i dont engage with close minded people but generally speaking i have nothing against christianity
I thought this was a really good topic im a Christian witch myself. I recommend watching @MeganB utube channel (round the cauldron) she has a episode on there called ( Christian Witchcraft a Christian witches perspective ) where she interviews two Christian Witches like myself and I think it would help answer any doubts or questions you have.

Thankyou for these replies. I knew I’d get wisdom here. @Susurrus absolutely need to listen to my intuition and not let others influence that. Still finding who “me” is
@AileyGrey Thankyou for this. This is really great as I do love both and I like how you have honoured the festivals of both. I’m going to read this book. Looking at Mary too, I never thought about her or the saints.
@Asideon so true, some just won’t understand and I can’t fix that thankyou 
@crystal59 That’s nice to hear. It’s possible. I will definitely be watching MeganB, I’ve subscribed to it but not yet listened to it. Thankyou for this link.
You’ve all been so kind. Blessed be
I think this is normal for a lot of people coming from one faith into another. You’ve gone your whole life (usually) with this one set of beliefs and then something else comes along that causes you to question things. That’s pretty foundation-shaking, ya know?
I think if you feel comfortable where you are with your beliefs, you don’t need to put any sort of labels on it. You can be a Christian Witch (thank you @crystal59 for linking my video ) if that’s what you want. There’s also a type of belief system called Pantheism.
Pantheism has a few different definitions. One is the belief in and worship of all gods, no matter the religion. The other definition of pantheism is a bit more accurate, and also a bit more confusing to me because I don’t see the world this way. Wikipedia says that pantheism is the view that everything is part of an all-encompassing, immanent God. To pantheists, the Universe and God are one and the same.
This could be where you fall in your beliefs!
I don’t mean to self-promo but my most recent podcast episode is about how to find your path and what to do when you get lost. I actually talk about how I think you can approach crossroads and that it’s okay to change your mind if your path ends up not being what you expected. I’m gonna leave an excerpt of the transcript here and also a link to the episode if you want to listen 
We may often be presented with many different forks in the road, many different paths that can take us in many different directions. We won’t always know which one is the right one to go, but as long as you’re following your heart, following where your spirit is leading you, I don’t think the decision is wrong. And it can be scary! It can definitely be intimidating to choose a path that you know nothing about, to choose a path that has many different gods looking down on you instead of just one or two. But if you follow that path and it turns out to be not the greatest idea, then you can just turn back around.

I think that if you think about it too hard, you may end up confusing or frustrating yourself. Let things come naturally and don’t worry about the labels of the faiths for now. You’ve got all the time in the world to figure that part out. Follow where your spirit leads you first.
Thankyou, this is great advice. I’ve just watched/listened to the YouTube interview, it was very enlightening. I can see the pantheism view, as I’ve always accepted all God’s and God systems (I loved Apollo as a child), but still prayed to the Big God (as I used to say when I was little), in the sky. I recently read a person quote, “God made all creation didn’t he? It’s man that divides”. I’ll listen to the podcast. This has been very helpful. Thankyou my lovely
You’re very welcome!
I was raised Christian and for a while I practiced witchcraft secularly, but after a while I realized that for me personally Christianity did not work, but there is no reason why it cannot for you! Personally I am now pagan. If the cards and you deitys are saying you do not need to pick now, than maybe you could keep doing what you are doing!
Thankyou, it’s always helpful to get experiences from others who’ve been here. Blessed be
I struggle with this to some extent. Wicca-ish values work for me. So does Nature. I still like celebrating Christmas, though, and angels. These days, I think I am about 82% witch and 18% Christian. I know that doesn’t make sense but I don’t know how else to describe it.
I fully get this, I’m a working progress. My faith in both.
I think it makes perfect sense @mary25 as long as it makes perfect sense to you. That’s the important part, in my opinion!
The more i connect to the Goddess the les i feel the need for the abrahamic book religions personally. I just feel it out lived its usfulness in my life at this point.
Hi Tracy. Yes, in the beginning I had a lot of questions and still do. I am so glad this week’s challenge is on the this topic which I have been thinking about for the last several months. I come from witches on my mother’s side of my family but did not figure that out for many years later especially after finding my mother’s BOS under her bed and now everyone seems to have passed away and there’s really nobody I can talk to about this except for all these wonderful people / Witches here at Spells 8.
Feedback is one of my favorite ways of learning so I’m anxious to do this challenge and read everyone else’s as well thanks Tracy,
Mote It Be,
Medea
