Christian wicca question

[te_lanus]

Hi all

I would like to know from those of us who follow Christian Wicca as a path, how did you end up on this path, and how do you see the God and Goddess.

I was a Heretical Christian, who believe all kinds of crazy things, like freedom, equality, and not indoctrinating children.

One of my friends converted to Wicca, they brought over a book for another one of my friends to read. I felt instant hatred, I imagine this was a mix of bad spirits trying to trick me, and jealousy that I wasn't being included in their tal of these religious matters. Perhaps completely one or the other.

So I decided to read the book when no one else was reading it. They didn't seem to mind. I felt truth resonate in some of the things said, and so I began researching.

I'm still researching, but I've learned enough to safely call myself a Christian Wiccan or a Wiccan Christian, or a Christian Witch.

P.S. I just noticed my spell check doesn't recognize Wiccan or Wicca as words. Funny.

I think I'll have my go.

After a long path of self-realization. I grew up in a Fundamentalist home, but never really felt part of the fundamentalistic world view of my parents. In my teenage years I did my own thing as far as possible, from LHP to Aliens, then "gotten myself saved" to please the family, but I never fitted in the church setup. Then found Wicca (Gardnerian Wicca), but they was just as stiff as the church, and left it. then started combining it.

I started studying Christianity's and /Judaistic origins, and found the Canaanitic faith. I then started basing my faith on it but modified it to suit my needs, I also added a lot from the Lycian Tradition. Thus I ended up with what I call a Canaanitic Christian.
I follow the Wiccan Rede and the Rights of Lycian witch is:

1. To question anything.
2. To define the purpose of their lives, known as the Great Work, for themselves.
3. To proceed in the Great Work as they see fit.
4. To do as they will, knowing they alone bear the responsibility for all consequences proceeding there from.
5. To hold any belief, though there may be no evidence whatsoever, as valid for themselves.
6. To reject any belief, for any reason whatsoever, as invalid for themselves only.

and how do you see the God and Goddess.

I See God & Goddess as two separate entities. You have God (A.K.A. EL) and Asherah as His Wife. Jesus is Their Son. Under God & the Goddess one get the lesser Gods & Goddesses

Gnosticism would be a better option, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, we'd rather have two contradictory teachings in one than actually have a faith which includes Gods and goddesses and doesn't actually contradict the teachings. *apologies in advance... can't stand syncretic faiths*

Don't Worry Buttons* we won't hold it against you
