Tired fan, Quaker, Pagan of some description, animist, soft polytheist. I'm 28, non binary, and suffer with chronic mental illness. I unfortunately live in the UK, sorry 'bout that. They/she
Forever thinking about how Mary conceived via the holy spirit, which is a historically feminine entity. Lots of untapped potential for Something here. Not sure what yet

Note 1: When throwing multiple dice, for each additional die, -1 from the sum total so that the number 1 can still be read as an oracle.
Note 2: These cover the most common dice on the market (thanks to popular tabletop games); it is possible to acquire specialist dice to cover other possibilities.
Hail Gaia, Lady of deep soil and daughter of Creation, all life is within you. Blessed is your fruitful bounty, and blessed are our ancestral dead underfoot. Munificent Gaia, Sister Earth, shelter and nurture us now and at the hour of our death when God calls us home. Amen.
how to get started on your christian witchcraft journey✨✝️
1.) get rid of any crucial anxieties you have about practicing witchcraft. your energy is the most important factor of witchcraft. blending ‘witchy’ elements to christianity is not harmful, and in fact has been used in the bible itself (divination, ‘spell’ casting, rituals, using natural energies etc). as long as you have good intentions and want to use witchcraft as a way to connect with G-d, then you are fine.
2.) learn as much as you can on Christianity and witchcraft. there are many FREE resources available for both christianity and witchcraft. Subreddits like r/ChristianWitch r/RealWitchcraft and r/Witchcraft holds many resources and threads related to witchcraft (with the former being focused on christian witchcraft) E-Sword contains free Biblical resources, and there are many free digital versions of the Bible (the ‘New Revised Standard Version’ is a very progressive version of the Bible). if you don’t know where to start, study up on protection, prayers, spells, energy, the birth and death of Jesus, Jesus’s messages in the new testament, tools to use in both witchcraft and Christianity, grimoires, saints, angels, shadow work.
3.) craft your own path. there is no certain way to be a witch, and there’s definitely not a certain way to be a Christian Witch. some witches only craft spells, some only work with divination, some may combine their craft into hobbies, and some may decide to use a certain practice on a whim. do whatever makes you comfortable. on certain days i like to do moon rituals, and other days the only “witchy” thing i do is pray before going to bed. you’re still a witch no matter your practice or daily routines.
if you’re stuck on how to actually begin practicing, many common practices include using prayers/psalms as spells, communicating with Biblical spirits through tarot cards or bibliomancy, meditating on scripture, following rituals such as communion, and journaling!
4.) build a relationship with yourself and G-d/Jesus. witchcraft can assist you on growing within yourself and faith. meditating on scripture, communicating with G-d, Jesus, and/or other Biblical figures, participating in shadow work, and practicing your craft brings you closer to G-d/Jesus because you are using the resources giving to you by them to learn more about Christianity and self reflection. working with angels and saints also contribute to building your relationship with Christ, as they are sent by him to guide you through his love.
here are free resources that i’ve used when i first started practicing!
Christian Wiccans - website that covers what Christian Witchcraft is and has lists of rituals and spells to use in your craft!
Christian Witchcraft Podcast - podcast that discusses the Bible through a Christian Witch perspective and rituals to use for your craft.
Ariel’s Corner - website (and youtube channel!) that explores general witchcraft (both basics and advanced), psalm magic, angel magic, etc. (on the website they offer free courses and pdfs that you have to sign up for with your email)
Archangels-and-Angels - websites on angelology and angel magic.
Magic and Mystery - website that discusses the seven planetary angels. (great website for those wanting to learn more on planetary/moon magic)
Magickal Spot - website that serves as a witches encyclopedia. covers many definitions and techniques for practice.
Chaotic Witch Aunt - youtube channel that posts many witchcraft content such as (and not limited to) basics, how-tos, folk magic, animism, spells, saints, deities, etc. this video goes over christian witchcraft.
my blog also contains many other resources related to witchcraft, angels, christian witchcraft, and lunar/planetary magic!!! :)
This is just your friendly, neighborhood queer Christopagan witch speaking
YES I am Christian
YES I am pagan
YES I am a witch
YES I am queer
Yes I KNOW this seems contradictory
NO you cannot tell me how to live my faith. It is my faith, it is my beliefs, it is my soul. I have personal evidence on why I believe this way. I do not owe it to you to explain.
But I just wanted you to know,
regardless of your faith,
JESUS LOVES YOU
THE GODS LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU
especially now when everything is hard. I know. I know, I promise, I feel it too
Below are some saints I humbly recommend to pray to as the United States faces this new and challenging era after the results of our recent election. Those that use prayer for intercession may find comfort in learning more about the saints below, and building a communication with them.
Social justice — St. Martín de Porres
Poverty — St. Francis of Assisi
Women — St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
Immigrants — St. Frances Xavier Cabrini
Racial justice — St. Katharine Drexel
Ecology and environment — St. Kateri Tekakwitha (the first Indigenous American saint)
Education/teachers — St. John Baptist de La Salle
If you'd like, I have included some notes and extras below —
Please if you can, take some time to learn about St. Martín de Porres! His soul is beautiful and his work was absolutely selfless as he cared for others in the face of social abuse and adversity. He really is someone to aspire to be like.
I nominate St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in this particular instance as it's difficult to pin down a definitive patron saint of women (all of my cross-references didn't produce a strong label on any one saint; many were for mothers or some other aspect attributed to womanhood, so there are many options). But St. Elizabeth was the first American-born citizen to be canonized as a saint, and in her life she started a Catholic school for girls. She is most known for founding of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Joseph’s, the first religious order in America who contributed significant humanitarian work. In the wake of the US election results, I think she is an apt choice for connecting with for intercession.
I'm a biased St. Joan D'Arc follower, but hear me out. She was the crux of saving her home country from the very literal brink of being lost to Britain in a war that spanned a century. She rallied the last skeleton crew of the remaining French monarchal power that had all but been defeated already, and helped to take their name and land back from the English. I will be continuing to pray to her regularly to help find ways to fight for our freedom and remain courageous. I encourage others to do the same if you pray to her, or would like to start.
While I wish I had a suggestion for a saint to pray to for the LGBTQIA+ community, as they are adopted through history (St. Sebastian) or are not strictly official. But there are some interesting perspectives to find online, I just couldn't find a saint I could comfortably name with my whole chest for this particular group. I was intrigued by some responses on this Quora thread on the matter in question.
As always, these are only suggestions based on my imperfect research, as I am still newly navigating my reclaimed faith. If you have other patrons to recommend, please add them in a reblog so that others may learn about them.

fyi your religious and spiritual practices don't have to make sense to anyone other than you.
im a christopagan, and most people can't wrap their heads around that. how i can pray the rosary and consult saints, and then proceed to light candles and do devotional acts for aphrodite and hestia.
but the thing is, they don't need to understand it. i understand it.
don't let anyone tell you your practice is invalid because they don't understand it. you understand it.
