What time of rituals are used in this path? A mixture of Christian and Wiccan? Are there any extrabiblical scriptures used?

well, CW doesn't necessitate rituals, but most will use rituals so i'll try my best to answer this.
if we split CW's into two groups, there are:
1) polytheists/Wiccans who accept the life, ethical teachings and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and include him in their personal Pantheon of Gods. in this case, one of the things Christ asks of his followers is communion, so a CW would likely go to church for the communion ritual, but they will almost certainly be invoking Christ as a Deity in their probably standard Wiccan ceremonies. basically, a normal Wiccan type thing, only using Christ as a Deity instead of Zeus or alongside Zeus for instance.
2) Christians who believe in One God, One Trinity, with Father, Son and Spirit, and also practice Wiccan ceremony or magic. in this case, the focus will be more on Magical practices like energy channeling, Reiki healing, maybe Tarot, but assuming the Christian theology to be the author and power behind these things.
in my experience, all the people in life who i have met who are CW fall into either being 1) Pagan who accepts Christ as an additional Deity to their pantheon, or 2) a Christian who admits to using Magic. either way, they could do any of the whole range of Wiccan and Christian rituals and Magics.

I'm wondering how a Christian Wiccan would deal with all the bible verses saying that witchcraft and magic are evil. Care to explain?
care to site those verses?
