“I am a Christian Witch, a walking contradiction. I cast circles and design spells of burning incense and gemstones bright. I follow the teachings of Jesus, his message of love and compassion. My guides are the angels, the saints, the warrior women of the Torah, the myrrh-bearers, and the Holy Trinity. My cup and cauldron are the Holy Grail. My herbs of worship are frankincense and myrrh. The four archangels guard my elemental gates. My scriptures are the Bible and the Gnostic Gospels. My mythology is Genesis and the parables. My guardian angel is my spirit guide. My God is the breath of life from which all things in the Tree of Life flow. I celebrate the Christian aspects of the Sabbats. I celebrate the Pagan aspects of the Christian Holy Days. I practice what is forbidden by the officials of my church. I attend Mass. I am priestess of my rituals. I believe in the blessed sanctity of the earth and the heavens. I believe in the beauty of women’s spirituality. I am not a Bible-waving, proselytizing fanatic. “An ye harm none, do what you will.” “Love your neighbor as yourself.” “All acts of pleasure are my rituals.” “It is time to rejoice, for that which was lost is found.”
