just so everyone knows how this works, I tend to not go on tumblr for several months to a year, open it up and realize I kind of like it, throw a bunch of stuff I put in drafts into a queue, and then repeat the cycle. maybe one day I will be consistent but it has not happened for me since 2015
You ever accidentally find your crush’s tumblr that they haven’t used in like four years and you want to make fun of them about it but also you would sound WEIRD for having found it

Christian Witchcraft? WTF!
It’s the first time you are hearing about Christian craft and it seems so foreign to you. How can such contradictory things be part of a worship, you ask. How can you be a God-fearing Christian and a witch?
What is witchcraft?
Witchcraft is a practice that can include shaping energy and interacting with the spiritual world. No witch uses witchcraft in exactly the same way. Some use it for healing, some for divination, some for cursing, etc. Many use it to worship their deities and cultivate a relationship with them, but not all. Some are secular and do not work with deities. Some have relations with deities but do not incorporate them into their craft. A witch’s spirituality is not intrinsically tied to their craft. Alternatively, witchcraft is not a religion, but a practice. It can be an expression of a religion, but it is by nature non-religious.
What does the Bible say about Witchcraft?
Please read this post by phoenyxangel.
calyhex also did a lovely series (part 1, part 2, part 3)
My own analysis on a few verses:
I am a green witch. That means I use creation, particularly plants, in order to perform my spells. Green witches use the energy stored within creation in order to create effects.
We know God has invested power in creation because of the story of Cain and Abel. It is the ground that seems to convict Cain for his crimes. Before Cain killed his brother, the ground gave him strength.
And the Lord said, “What have you done? Listen; your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground! And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. When you till the ground, it will no longer yield to you its strength; you will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.”
-Gen 4:10-12
Consider also that if humans do not worship God creation must cry out to Him.
But he answered them, “I tell you that if they keep quiet, the stones will shout!”
-Luke 19:40
The power is there. Is it wrong to learn to use it? On the contrary, I find it to be an interesting way to study God. By knowing His creation, I come to know Him better.
Also note that when Jesus was confronted with magick (albeit, religious magick) he did nothing to condemn it. In the story of the healing at the pool Jesus heals a man who is waiting at a magick pool. Whenever the water was stirred it was supposed to be because an angel came and touched it. Whoever jumped into the pool first was supposed to be healed. (I’m assuming it worked, at least in part, for all of these people to be waiting so eagerly for their chance to jump in. The man in question had waited there for a long time and had missed many chances because he couldn’t move.)
Now in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate there is a pool, called in Hebrew Beth-zatha, which has five porticoes. In these lay many invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed, waiting for the stirring of the water; for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool, and stirred up the water; whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was made well from whatever disease that person had.
-John 5:2-4
If Jesus didn’t have an issue, then maybe we shouldn’t. I think Christian witches need to be judicious in what they practice. I think baneful magick is iffy at best. Jesus wasn’t baneful, so neither should we be. That being said, bindings and curses do not have to be baneful.
You can read more about my personal path on my FAQ. You can find book suggestions on my Books and Resources page.
What about Christopaganism?
That really isn’t my area of expertise. The Bible is clear that there are other spiritual forces in the world and God Himself refers to them as gods!
For that night, I will pass through the land of Egypt and kill all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both men and animals; and I will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt; I am Adonai.
-Exodus 12:12
Do they exist? Yes! Should you have a relation with them and how should you go about balancing your time spent with each deity? You would have to ask a Christopagan yourself.
It’s important to note that not all Christopagans are witches. Not all Christopagans work with other pantheons either, some preferring to work within the Abrahamic faith. Please do not assume anything and approach them respectfully.

Also: christopagan tag.
Should I be a Christian witch?
I don’t know, because I do not know your relationship with God or the core motivations you have for pursuing craft. Being a Christian witch is about using craft to express your relationship with God. It is to help you draw closer to Him by experiencing Him through magick. It can also cause you to be an asset to other Christians and to this world. You can work magick for those in need.
You can be a Christian and a witch without being a Christian witch as well. You would simply be a practitioner who does not incorporate God into your magick. If you do work with other deities, it will be important that you keep a strict balance and healthy understanding of who these forces are to you in your magick. It will be a difficult road to navigate f you are trusting other forces for your power yet truly putting your faith in God, and perhaps impossible for you without falling into temptation.
Healthy Christian Craft is an article I wrote explaining some common ways in which craft can become unhealthy for a Christian. Remember, this path has as many temptations as any other, but the Christian community offers much less support than with other forms of worship. You will have to constantly be realigning your will with God’s will so that you will not fall into sin. You may also want to follow my meditations and work through them in order to come to a conclusion. This is a decision that takes a lot of reflection and soul searching. Christian witchcraft should not be approached lightly.

Imbolc verses for Christian Witches
Song of Solomon(Songs) 2:11-12
For behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.
Isaiah 61:11
For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to sprout up before all the nations.
Genesis 1:14
And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years,
As the seasons change, remember that our God is unchanging.
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
These are just a few, but hopefully they’ll get you started on your Imbolc ceremony (if you do one)
Love, love, LOVE.
Saving for later :) later meaning Imbolc, haha

Black-Owned Metaphysical & Spiritual Supply Store Directory 🕯🌿💎💸✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
One of my New Year’s resolutions is to buy all of my magick supplies - candles, herbs, crystals, etc. - from Black-owned businesses this year but I couldn’t find a comprehensive list anywhere.
So, I’m starting a list of online stores, so I’ll know where to go.
Black Cat Apothecary ~ Dallas Hoodoo Drug Store
The Original Grandma’s Candle Shop
Serpent’s Kiss ~ Magick Shop & Botanica
Demure Lyfe
Nirvana Wild
Free Spiiirit
Strings of Success
JDRXX on StoreEnvy
REDWholistic on Etsy
Siren Garden
Ashley’s Naturals
The Hood Witch
YeYes Botanica in Atlanta GA and 7 Powers in Mableton GA
Question: I am not Black and do not practice Voodoo/Hoodoo. What are the ethical implications of purchasing supplies from a Hoodoo store? I want to support Black-owned businesses but I don’t want to be appropriative or disrespectful.
