Reply #8: I am a Catholic, and I practise my religion, BUT [View All]

[Matilda]

I also believe in Magick - what else can we call much of what Jesus
did, if not Magick? I've read a bit about Wicca, and I can identify
with the belief that the spirit of God/Goddess is all about us in
nature, and that there are powerful forces that can be harnessed,
for good or ill. I don't know how Wiccas feel about Jesus, but the
biggest difficulty I would have with Wicca would be reconciling my
belief in the teachings of Christ - which I think are not always in
harmony with many things that Christian churches try to foist on us
as necessary to religious practice. In other words, I guess I take
and use what I feel is relevant, and ignore what I think is wrong-
headed about Church teaching, and I'm open to exploring different
ways of practice, if I feel they are going to help me in my spiritual
journey.

I am most interested to know how your mother integrates her
Catholicism with witchcraft.
