This prayer is called Sub Tuum Praesidium in Latin and is an ancient prayer to the Blessed Mother. It is the oldest known prayer to Our Lady.

I've noticed that it seems like most Christian Witches either are Catholic or at least follow a lot of Catholic practices?

Coming from a Protestant family, I've yet to find any Christian Witches that have a Protestant background.

I'm curious: What about Catholicism more easily lends itself to Christian Witchcraft vs. Protestantism (that doesn't seem to lend itself to it at all)?

Also, if you're a Christian Witch that comes from a Protestant background, I would very much love to discuss it with you!

Book Review: Discovering Christian Witchcraft, by Sara Raztresen and Emyle D. Prata

Sara Raztresen is an educator and writer I have been following for a while now, so you bet when i could afford it i pre-ordered her and Mimi's book !

Why did I choose to read this book ? First of all, it is a great introduction to the more mystical side of Christianity, and the more Christian side of Witchcraft. There a a handful of creators who are focused on Christian Witchcraft or Christopaganism, and out of them, Sara is one of my favorite. Her "Where the Gods Left Off" series (which I already read and will comment/review when I have time) is both an incredible insight into different cultures and religions and entities, but also the witness of her personal journey as she explores and meet all of them, and what she learns from it. It's not a sugarcoated exploration, but the experience of a witch who goes out of her comfort zone and deal with the consequences of it, good and bad. This book seems both more in their comfort zone as well as out of it. While focusing on the Christian perspective (with insights from Judaism, different branches of Christianity and cultures that were historically nearby), it also contains an absurd amount of research, references more books and articles than i can count, and present as a final product a fantastic guide, essay and research paper on the different elements that makes Christian Witchcraft today what it is, was and could/should be.

What are the great points of this book? Where should I even start ? 1.The Theory

The Theory is strong in this book. Everything is cross-checked, referenced, sourced, critically analyzed. It is a proper researcher work. (I am not in human sciences, but if i were to compare this book to how STEM scientific theses are built, it is pretty well built, rich, and made understandable for the most part). The book goes deeper than any "beginner-oriented" book I have seen this now. It is, I think, both appropriate for beginners in witchcraft, and anyone who is already pretty well-versed but would like to learn more about the Christian side of it.

2. The passion and analyses

Not just that, but the book also contains beautiful essays, speaking about the role of Christian witches in the modern world, the impact and the wrongs of Christonationalism, the role and goal of Christianity itself. Even for people who are not into witchcraft, I think this book can truly be a mind-opener about how Christians failed their missions, and missed the original meaning of the teachings of Jesus.

You can see as you read how the two writers are attached to the entities they are working with, but also to their cultures and what they learned in their years of practice. The book is nothing short of a labor of love, of passion, and of honest eagerness to share knowledge and passion for the craft ( as well as bit of spite for those refusing to open their eyes to even the most basic logical arguments lol)

3.The Practice

I probably have a harder time being completely objective about this, because i read the book when i had a good handle on most witchcraft basics. I do think though it can add a nice touch to practitioners who already got the basics down and would like to explore a little something new. For brand new beginners, it seems to me that it could be a good book to keep long-term in your practice. it could easily become a staple to come back to regularly to deepen an aspect of your practice, explore a new things, or just relearn older things.

Conclusion: this book is pretty exhaustive for beginners, and a good introductory to medium course for accomplished practitioners who wants to deepen their practice towards Christian Witchcraft. it presents both beginner-friendly and advanced theory, as well as a good beginner exploration of the basics of witchcraft. it is to me now a personal library favorite i will keep and reread for a long time. i would even go as far to say you might consider it a must-have in Christian Witchcraft, but that is of course up to you to decide <3

Happy Assumption to all my Mary-loving friends!

Regardless of religion 💚💚💚

In my country, Poland, she is also celebrated today as Our Lady of Herbs. Devotees offer her wildflowers and, well, herbs. This time, I cannot go gather fresh ones for personal reasons, nor do I have much in my garden, but I will make her a herbal tea libation - less traditional but from a loving heart.

Hey so I used to practice witchcraft as a devout hellenic pagan for five years before converting

Now that I've been catholic for a bit I wish to bring some of those traditions back- but like catholic style.

How have you done that?

Honestly, my approach has been from the opposite angle, witchifying little Catholic things, which is way easier than some Catholics would like you to think. Things like setting up altars for saints, praying before a meal, and praying to specific saints for specific things have parallels in many forms of paganism.

Some little things I do include:

•Sign of the cross as a quick blessing for myself or others (ambulances, broken down cars, cats at bedtime, etc.)

•Set an atmosphere while praying, especially for a rosary. Light candles/incense, put on some ambient music, and get in a comfy upright position (kneeling or sitting, use as many cushions as you need)

•Check your local dollar store or Catholic bookstore for saint candles. The more obscure ones will be tough to find, but at least in my area, most grocery stores have unscented Jesus and Mary candles that last quite a while.

•If you're feeling crafty, make your own rosary! You can use anything from genuine crystal beads and jump rings to pony beads and nylon cording. Match the materials/colors to your intentions or the general vibe you're hoping to achieve in prayer.

Generally speaking, you don't have to combine these two aspects of your faith, but you're also free to overlap them as much as you like. There's no wrong way to pray, so treat it as anything from a quick check-in with God to a proper ritual. Ultimately, what works best for you is for you to discover. Hope this helps!

If you work with Saint Philomena and would be open to sharing your experience with her (how she's impacted you and how she presents to you, her energy, etc) I'd love to hear it. The main character of one of my stories works with her heavily and is devoted to her, which plays a considerable role in her story that I want to get right. I want to represent it with as much accuracy as possible, so any insight would be much appreciated <3

Ya know I never understood why the church says certain entities are just evil. Like, ok. But they tell me things like do my homework, take a hot bath, relax, don't stress yourself. I've got dragons telling me I am worth it. I am worthy of love and kindness. "BUT THEY'RE NOT OF GOD!!!" ok but wouldn't God tell me the same thing???

"YEAH BUT THEY'RE NOT OF GOD"

Sooooo what then? They tell me to eat well, do some exercise, love myself. So it doesn't count???

"NO BECAUSE THEY'RE EVIL"

But why would something evil tell me to practice kindness to others and to myself???

"IT'S A LIE. THEY'RE TRICKING YOU TO HATE GOD"

ok, but the dragons don't mind if I worship the good Lord. They even pray with me if I ask them to.

See I don't understand it. UPG or not, every voice I've ever had in my head, be it dragon or some other entity, has never told me to hurt anyone. It's always been a message of love and kindness for myself and others. So why, on God's green Earth, would an evil entity tell me to love myself, to love others, and to be a kind person??? Is that??? Not???? the antithesis??? of Evil????? I never understood it. If God is Love, then if I practice the love dragons tell me to practice am I not practicing the teachings of God? Never made sense.
