I think no..
It'll be like being a human and a monkey at the same time.. :) (just kidding..)
Paganism is much more ancient and basic.. It's based on polytheism.
Christian has only one god, but, yet, both are based on animism. Both accept the statement that there is force that animates the universe..
I would advise you if you believe in more than one god, you are already not a Christian.. You've become a Pagan..

Hi Nicholas,
The roots of Wicca are in Gerald Gardner's tradition which comes from the teaching of the Golden Dawn. Gerald was a 5th degree upon the sixth square and had every right to form his own temple as an Adeptus Minor. You must renew your knowledge as animism is giving animal personna to people/Godforms and Godforms to animals. This was an Egyptian tradition. In Wicca, the AKASHIC spirit animates creation, it is a hermaphroditic spirit with no division (that is your Spirit candle). The male and female images are a knowable form that we can understand in the balance of male & female that create life and the continuing circle of life/universe. Just because a religion chooses a certain path as truth does not make it wrong, it means you must look more deeply into its origin and allow the snobs to have their way. Dion Fortune, one of the occult greats who helped defeat Hitler (and the group was given a mansion on the coast by Churchill for the purpose of defeating Hitler). Dion was wanting a guiding spirit of a great eastern master, but was given the Christ spirit. She was angry until she learned greater truths and surpassed her male counterparts. Her occult practices and spellwork never ended, she died comfortably in a grand home, and never gave up her beliefs once even when attending (oh no!!) Church.

It depend on what kind of tradition you have choosed. If you're some pagan can choose what ever god they want to believe in. So long you understand the fundamental rules of magick is it all up to you what kind of god you want to believe in or you wanna blend with.

Floyda you are basicly balancing the forces in your life now, adding the goddess (female) to God (male) balances your life from a male dominated one to a more feminine one. Of course you probably already figured that out, but I like to say that anyway, because it's how some things work.

No, because christianity is by definition non pagan. Christianity barrowed pagan concepts, which is where the idea of it having pagan roots comes from. But part of paganism is the belief that all religions are equivalent to one another and pagan religions (with the exeption of Buddhism) do not believe in missionaries. Zorastrianism, Christianity, and Islam are not pagan because they believe that only members of their communities can have devine experiences, and feel that all people need to believe as they do (which is why they have missionaries), Buddhists have missionaries but their goal is to advance the deeper levels of religious experience that already exist in a community, not to overthrow as in christianity.
So, my conclusion here is that christianity views itself as the only true way, an idea that doesn't exist in paganism, And christians generally have a completely different way of going about religion than pagans. Also christianity teaches that it is heresy to believe in any deity but the one male god who is represented in the trinity of father, son, and holy ghost, so worshipping the goddess in christianity is accepted.
