Witchcraft - World of WiccaChristian Witch craft and ReligionNote: Please keep in mind that the following is my personal view on the subject, and it doesn’t necessarily reflect the views of those associated with this website. Witch craft and Christianity - Is there a common ground?It would appear, given our track record, that the relationship between Witches and Christians has fallen into such a state of disrepair, that not even 21st century thinking could resurrect it. But is that really the case? Have we both become so used to trying to prove each other wrong, that neither can see how similar we really are? Are we even mature enough to admit our differences and take comfort in the similarities? This particular topic can be a bit of a sore spot for many people, so
we have to approach with care, honesty, and most of all, respect. witch craft in the churchLet’s start with the most obvious, God and Gods. Long before Christianity
gained popularity, the concept of having various Gods for various purposes
was a common belief shared by many. The Goddess was associated
with the moon and the deep mysteries of life, while her male counterpart
the God, was associated with the sun and creatures of the earth.
As Christianity grew, the system was reversed. The God became the central
figure, while the Goddess assumed the smaller, but no less significant
role of the Virgin Mary. What a woman of power she must have been to have
conceived and given birth to her son without any extra “help”.
As for Jesus, he too, like his mother had a lot of power. He was the first
real psychic, the first clairvoyant, the High Priest of a new order…and
a very misunderstood man. He possessed most of the abilities later described
in the Bible as being associated with witch craft; healing by hands,
prophecy, magick, and others. If you look at him from that perspective,
Jesus was also the very first of thousands to die because they were “different”. There it is, just like that. If Hell is an eternity of torment, and bad karma can torment and follow you from this life to the next, aren’t they just two words for the same thing but viewed from another perspective? Both religions believe that there is more to life after death, or else we each wouldn’t have a place to go when we die. If you follow that line of reasoning, then all the religions of the world share a common thread, and therefore, if only we could all just share our common belief in the divine rather than argue over who’s right or wrong, we could share a more peaceful, global relationship. Still, the question remains, are we as a society mature enough to get along outside our own religious borders? Not yet. As long as there are people out there putting up “barriers”, those of us who are open-minded enough to see our similarities and accept our differences, will just have to hope and pray that the rest of them catch up soon.
