Hello :) I want you to know that you are allowed to believe in God and Christ, while acknowledging older religions. In fact, some witches choose to kind of believe in/acknowledge all. It’s kind of confusing, but I’ll try and explain: I know they were all worshipped and believed in. When I cast a spell or worship, I call upon/worship the energy the previous followers gave that deity. I don’t necessarily believe Loki exists, but ppl used to. So I will drink to his existence in belief. (1/?)

You can sort of do that. Drink, pray, call upon, celebrate, eat to the existence of belief. All while saying “And I believe God and Christ exist more than belief.” Additionally, you don’t have to worship a specific set of deities to be a witch. Coming from someone who was raised a witch, we love our catholic and Christian witches. We do. You don’t have to worship what you don’t want to. And attending church does not mean you agree with and defend the genocide. (2/?)

There is no hard, set answer for you. But overall? Do what makes you happy. Do what makes you feel safe. You miss Christianity, you are permitted to go back to it. And if anyone in the witch community hates you for it? They do not truly understand witchcraft. Being Christian does mean you aren’t Pagan or Wiccan, but you don’t need either of those to practice witchcraft. Witchcraft is its own thing. I don’t know if this helped, but I hope it did. Good luck:) (3/3)

Oh! Sorry, one last thing: If you read the first book of Magnus Chase by Rick Riordan, it gives a good idea of how to deal with all this. A character, Sam, is Muslim. She was raised Muslim. She wears a headscarf, and is very very happy with her arranged marriage (that she consented to, and I believe participated in the planning of.) But she has a parent that is a Norse god. She has to deal with Odin and Thor existing next to Allah. She gives lovely pieces and words on the subject.

This provides a perspective I never thought of before! Especially the “Will drink to the existence of his belief”. Very new but a concept that I rather like. I guess I have always done that without even thinking, with the Theoi and Roman gods. While I do not hold the belief in them I recognize others do believe in them! If that wording makes any bit of sense lol.

It is a small fear that others will start to look down at me if I incorporate God and Jesus into my practice as I know that some do not view Christianity in a good light, however I have my own interpretations of the Bible and the Lord that are much less filled with biogtry. Though that also brings on a hot debate. 

I really like your perspective though, thank you for sharing ~
