Welcome to Class One of the Christian Witchcraft Master Class.

Whether you’re curious, seeking new ways to connect spiritually, or are simply exploring, know that this space is open to all backgrounds and levels of experience. Here, you can find harmony between faith and magic.

1. What is Christian Witchcraft?

Christian Witchcraft is a spiritual path that merges Christian beliefs with witchcraft practices like tarot, ritual work, nature-based spirituality, and energy manipulation. This may sound unconventional or even controversial to some, but consider this:

  • Witchcraft Defined: Witchcraft is often seen as working with nature, using intention, ritual, and symbolism to manifest change or gain insight. It’s less about spellcasting as portrayed in media and more about connecting with the unseen—similar to prayer or the work of mystics.

  • Faith Connection: Christian Witchcraft incorporates belief in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, combining traditional Christian faith with tools that deepen spiritual insight. This path honors the Christian God while using practices such as tarot, meditation, and ritual to access divine wisdom.

  • A Journey of Personal Discovery: This practice is not about rebelling against Christianity or abandoning core Christian values. It is about building a personal, intimate relationship with the Divine, using practices that feel authentic and meaningful.

3. A Brief Historical Perspective

Mysticism has always been part of Christianity. Many saints, mystics, and early church fathers practiced forms of Christian mysticism that involved contemplation, visions, and experiences of divine guidance. For example:

  • The Desert Fathers and Mothers: These early Christian hermits used meditation, solitude, and prayer to experience God.

  • Saint Hildegard of Bingen: A mystic known for her visions, she combined spiritual insight with music, art, and writing to communicate divine messages.

  • Modern Christian Mystics: Today, more people are rediscovering the mystical aspects of Christianity through tarot, meditation, and ritual, connecting with God in ways that feel deeply personal and transformative.

Understanding this historical context can help us see Christian Witchcraft as a continuation of ancient traditions rather than a new, rebellious concept.

4. Your Personal Journey Begins Here

  • What drew you to explore Christian Witchcraft?

  • What aspects of Christianity and spirituality do you feel most connected to?

  • What do you hope to gain from this exploration—healing, deeper faith, personal growth?

Jot down your thoughts in a journal. This reflection is your starting point, capturing your feelings, hopes, and intentions as you begin this journey.

5. Seeing God in New Ways

This path encourages you to expand your view of God. It invites you to:

  • See God in Nature: Discover the sacred in the world around you—trees, rivers, the sky, and the changing seasons can all serve as reminders of God’s presence.

  • Listen for the Divine in Symbols: Tarot cards, candles, and crystals are not magical in themselves. They are tools for focusing your energy and intention, helping you communicate with God and understand spiritual messages.

  • Embrace the Mystery: Spiritual growth is not always about finding clear answers. It’s about being willing to sit with mystery, ask questions, and seek guidance from God and the universe.

6. Invitation to a Practice: Simple Candle Ritual

Here’s a simple ritual to help you begin connecting with God through this practice:

Supplies Needed:

  • A candle (white or any color that feels sacred to you)

  • A quiet space

  • A lighter or match

Instructions:

  1. Find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed. Place the candle in front of you.

  2. Light the candle, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths.

  3. As you breathe, invite God’s presence. You might say:
    “God, I invite your presence into this space. Help me open my heart to your guidance.”

  4. Focus on the candle’s flame. Let its light remind you of God’s love and protection. Sit quietly for a few minutes, allowing any thoughts or feelings to arise.

  5. When you’re ready, thank God for this time. Blow out the candle as an act of gratitude.

This ritual is a simple way to practice combining intention, prayer, and focus in your spiritual journey.
