Good to know the difference between the two, thanks.

What an excellent and insightful posts, Scott. Frubals on your head!

Umm... forgive my ignorance: I assume a "CW" is a Christian Wicca, yes?... if so then wouldn't "witch" (or some other gender appropriate description) not be an appropriate term this person would use to describe him/her self?

... and since you already established that "the wine never changes to blood." this would be a neat trick, yes.

Thanks for the help.

Scott, Yes a CW means Christian/Wiccan but NOT all Wiccans would like to call them self a witch.

Some in this forum would like to disagree but not all use witchcraft either.

Ok... starting to get it.. piece by piece... thanks for the help.

I must say, it does seem like a rip-off to be a CW and not use witchcraft... what's the fun in that?

LOL! Its more about your spiritual path, I enjoy my path, and also do rituals for self improvement.

You misunderstood. Not all Wiccans practice witchcraft. And most have a misconception of witchcraft anyways. The Wiccan part that I like is the love and peace with nature. To appreciate God's earth. Most believe in 2 Gods or more, but some only one. Myself, Christ is God.

That's pretty clear to me now.

And this is absent in Christianity? ... or what is unique to Wicca about the love and peace with nature that you find lacking in Christianity's claim that God is the creator of all living things etc...?

I guess I don't understand where the "Wiccan" part comes in... but maybe your answer to my previous question will help me understand.

Thanks again,
Scott

There isn't the 'you must believe in this' with Wicca. I can take parts of the Catholic beliefs and part of my own beliefs to find the path I feel I need to follow. I love the Catholic Bible. Easiest to read ever. I can believe in Christ and say I think the O.T. is not entirely correct, and not get questioned. More on this thought in a minute.

Look at Turk and Bex tonight. Can discuss different views without the questioning about how one's right and the other's wrong. Following your own path. Look at the bickering and pettiness that sometimes goes on in this forum, sometimes in the same faith. Except for 2 people that did not like the term CW, you won't find that. Respecting each other's path. Scott, you would make a great Wiccan.
