The Story of Living my life as a Wiccan Christian

Some people say how can you be both? Aren't you confused? In all honesty, there are times I am confused as to where to begin the research. But, I am not confused. I have never been the type of person that could follow one path because I never fit in as one particular religion. How can I be both you ask again? Well very easily, I believe that God created this world and Wicca allows me a way to worship the nature that he created and honor it through my rituals and spells. I do acknowledge all the other gods and goddess and they have come to my aid in my life several times, along before I became a Christian and I still find ways to honor and remember them as well. 

I live my life the best way I know how. Do I expect everyone to agree with me and my believes now, for I don't agree with everything others believe as well, but I respect them for what they believe and believe they have ever as much right as I do to believe what they do. I do not believe that I have the right to judge anyone for their religion. 

The beginning of how I become a Wiccan

When I became a Wiccan I was a freshman in High School, and was looking for a place to belong like every kid in school does. But, one day a girl came up to me and goes, "do you want to join our circle and be one of us?" I looked at her quizzical because at the time I didn't know what she meant nor what she was talking about. She later explained that she was one of 3 students who were Wiccan. Now these were very bad examples of Wiccan's if I might add, which I will explain in a little bit. So do to me being the forth, I discovered that the 4 of them made up the four elements and not really a circle, kinda hard to create a circle with 4 people lol. I also discovered I lean more towards the South, the element of fire. Which makes sense since my rages can be wild and out of control when pissed off. 

As time went on I learned from Wicca how to be understanding of all religions, accepting of everyone for who they are and what they are, no matter what. I also learned that I had the ability to do spells and say things to make things happen. That I could predict the future and wound up saving some peoples lives from what i predicted. Would I say I am right a 100 percent of the time, no. Can i be wrong? yes and on some things I pray I am. I also learned how to differentiate what was real and what was not in what people were telling me and teaching me. Which is how I discovered a lot of what they were teaching me was wrong. They supported doing harm to others and not following the Wiccan Rede that says, "do as ye will, as long as ye harm none." I know this because the leader of that group came after me and I had to use my powers to defend myself, which I discovered later was okay and didn't break any unknown rules.

how i became a Christian

I after that had promised myself to not study Wicca for a while till I found real Wiccans to talk to when I had questions that wouldn't try and make me harm others, which I didn't wan to do. When I became a Christian I was a freshman in college. See a pattern here? During this time I am going through bouts of depression and my tutor at the time kept asking me to go to church with her and do some past experience I fought tooth and nail against going. Till one day I agreed to go. A couple times later, I felt like God made the whole church disappear and like I was the only one in the church and he kept calling me to come up there. I was like not without my tutor, because I don't like being in front of huge crowds. So he made her reappear next to me and we went up together then the church slowly started reappearing around me. If you are wondering if I was freaking out, the answer is yes. 

When I gave my life to Jesus, i felt a wave of a power rush come over me, like nothing I ever felt before. It was this day my power grew. 

What about now?

God has led me back to my roots of Wicca and gave me teachers to talk to when I have questions. I had been praying  for a path to go down and one day in Books a Million near where I work here in Kentucky as I was looking for another book. The book called, "The path of druidary: walking the Ancient Green Way" by Penny Billington revealed itself to me. It was like God was telling me this was the way he wanted me to go down when it comes to me and Wicca. To me it was like him telling me "hey I have no problem with you doing this and you following the way of nature." So that is what I am doing, as I relearn the correct things about Wicca, I am studying Drudism. Everything that I have questioned in my life seems to be slowly coming together. 

Sometimes it just takes time to find where you fully belong and sometimes it takes a Combination of things to find that place. But that is okay. This is my life as a Wiccan/Christian. I will not force anyone to follow my beliefs nor by writing this am I trying to force anyone to do that. I am writing this to share me fully and explain me. This is my story and thanks for listening.
