Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live may be one of the most frequently quoted verses against the budding community of a group that calls themselves Christian witches. But what if there was more to the verse than meets the eye?

In the age of deconstruction and new methods of discovering one’s personal spirituality, Christians dissatisfied with the current state of their religion are looking to make a change, whether from within or without the church. In the words of Jurgen Moltmann in his work, The Crucified God, these believers face a crisis of identity and relevance, struggling to understand how they can hold onto their faith, their God, in a way that doesn’t further damage society per the archaic values of many of their religious institutions.

Sara Raztresen and Emyle D. Prata proposes a new method of understanding public faith and personal spirituality with a deep dive into the world of Christian witchcraft—everything from folk traditions and spellwork basics to critical looks at the Bible, its history, and its leading figures that show the powerful magic hidden within. This book aims to give readers the tools to unite Christian religion with personal witchcraft practice, with a defense of the craft within Christian contexts, a guide to discovering one’s own personal walk with God, and plenty of interactive pages to work through their newfound magical style.

Discovering Christian Witchcraft

While I may not be a Christian, nor aspire to become one ever again, reading about the religion through a witchcraft lens is very intriguing and worth consideration. Epecially for the purpose of deconstructing one’s deeply hidden beliefs.

Syncretism you say that likes it a bad thing.

The authors of this book provide an in-depth exploration of the foundational principles of Christian mysticism and Witchcraft that inform their approach. They anticipate the arguments against their position and answer each one with reference to the Catholic, Christian, Protestant, and Jewish commentaries on the Bible. As Dan McClellan ( https://www.amazon.com/Dan-McClellan/e/B0DKSRVJZW/ref=dp_byline_cont_ebooks_1) , Bart Ehrman (https://www.amazon.com/Bart-D-Ehrman/e/B001I9RR7G?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_2&qid=1749825537&sr=8-2) and other scholars of the Bible to demonstrate the human element of source documents. The intended audience is for those who find themselves drawn inexplicably drawn to the things of the spirit both as expressed through Christianity and Witchcraft. Demonstrating how Christianity itself is evolving over time with each generation negotiating the text of the Bible. Universally religions from around the globe and through out time have incorporated earlier beliefs in their dogma. The authors have demonstrated that this these Christianities (Plural Intended) are enriched and fortified through this process. Not to detract from this work but this is exactly what John Shelby Spong and Ken Wilber were observing as the ultimate future of all religions. Thank you Sara Raztresen and Emyle D. Prata for following the leading of the Holy Spirt discounting the predictable naysayers and religionist’s. Who have a form of godliness but deny the power there of 2 Timothy 3:5 God Bless
