It’s the first time you are hearing about Christian craft and it seems so foreign to you. How can such contradictory things be part of a worship, you ask. How can you be a God-fearing Christian and a witch?
What is witchcraft?
Witchcraft is a practice that can include shaping energy and interacting with the spiritual world. No witch uses witchcraft in exactly the same way. Some use it for healing, some for divination, some for cursing, etc. Many use it to worship their deities and cultivate a relationship with them, but not all. Some are secular and do not work with deities. Some have relations with deities but do not incorporate them into their craft. A witch’s spirituality is not intrinsically tied to their craft. Alternatively, witchcraft is not a religion, but a practice. It can be an expression of a religion, but it is by nature non-religious.
I am a green witch. That means I use creation, particularly plants, in order to perform my spells. Green witches use the energy stored within creation in order to create effects.
We know God has invested power in creation because of the story of Cain and Abel. It is the ground that seems to convict Cain for his crimes. Before Cain killed his brother, the ground gave him strength.
And the Lord said, “What have you done? Listen; your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground! And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. When you till the ground, it will no longer yield to you its strength; you will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.”
-Gen 4:10-12
Consider also that if humans do not worship God creation must cry out to Him.
But he answered them, “I tell you that if they keep quiet, the stones will shout!”
-Luke 19:40
The power is there. Is it wrong to learn to use it? On the contrary, I find it to be an interesting way to study God. By knowing His creation, I come to know Him better.
Also note that when Jesus was confronted with magick (albeit, religious magick) he did nothing to condemn it. In the story of the healing at the pool Jesus heals a man who is waiting at a magick pool. Whenever the water was stirred it was supposed to be because an angel came and touched it. Whoever jumped into the pool first was supposed to be healed. (I’m assuming it worked, at least in part, for all of these people to be waiting so eagerly for their chance to jump in. The man in question had waited there for a long time and had missed many chances because he couldn’t move.)
Now in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate there is a pool, called in Hebrew Beth-zatha, which has five porticoes. In these lay many invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed, waiting for the stirring of the water; for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool, and stirred up the water; whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was made well from whatever disease that person had.
-John 5:2-4
If Jesus didn’t have an issue, then maybe we shouldn’t. I think Christian witches need to be judicious in what they practice. I think baneful magick is iffy at best. Jesus wasn’t baneful, so neither should we be. That being said, bindings and curses do not have to be baneful.

What about Christopaganism?
That really isn’t my area of expertise. The Bible is clear that there are other spiritual forces in the world and God Himself refers to them as gods!
For that night, I will pass through the land of Egypt and kill all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both men and animals; and I will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt; I am Adonai.
-Exodus 12:12
Do they exist? Yes! Should you have a relation with them and how should you go about balancing your time spent with each deity? You would have to ask a Christopagan yourself.
It’s important to note that not all Christopagans are witches. Not all Christopagans work with other pantheons either, some preferring to work within the Abrahamic faith. Please do not assume anything and approach them respectfully.
I don’t know, because I do not know your relationship with God or the core motivations you have for pursuing craft. Being a Christian witch is about using craft to express your relationship with God. It is to help you draw closer to Him by experiencing Him through magick. It can also cause you to be an asset to other Christians and to this world. You can work magick for those in need.
You can be a Christian and a witch without being a Christian witch as well. You would simply be a practitioner who does not incorporate God into your magick. If you do work with other deities, it will be important that you keep a strict balance and healthy understanding of who these forces are to you in your magick. It will be a difficult road to navigate f you are trusting other forces for your power yet truly putting your faith in God, and perhaps impossible for you without falling into temptation.
Healthy Christian Craft is an article I wrote explaining some common ways in which craft can become unhealthy for a Christian. Remember, this path has as many temptations as any other, but the Christian community offers much less support than with other forms of worship. You will have to constantly be realigning your will with God’s will so that you will not fall into sin. You may also want to follow my meditations and work through them in order to come to a conclusion. This is a decision that takes a lot of reflection and soul searching. Christian witchcraft should not be approached lightly.
This is a hex that can be used for that exceedingly intrusive colleague, “friend,” or even family member who cannot seem to comprehend boundaries. As the name suggest, this hex prevents the victim from overstepping their bounds by rendering your presence (or rather, their perceptions) hidden. Of you they may not speak, your words they may not overhear, and your actions and private matters they may not see. This a multifaceted ritual, but can be completed in the matter of a night.
Begin by collecting the following herbs and curios:
DriedGarlic (powder or clove)
Chiles (Red, hot – again, powdered or crushed will do)
(7)Coffee Beans, smashed
Black Salt (Kala Namak, not lava salt)
A few twigs from a Bird’s Nest
Spiderwebs
TheashesofMatthew 7:1 – 5 (or all of 6 and 7, whichever) –
“Do not judge so that you will not be judged. 2 For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and [a]by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how [b]can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.”
(Optional)Water Hemlock, crushed
(Optional)Barberry Leaves, crushed
(Optional)Sulfur Powder
You will also need:
(1)Black Candle (the narrower the better – I’d recommend either a chime or a federal, something narrow and straight – i.e. not a taper)
AScrap of Fabric (any color will do – I use white, usually)
ANeedleandBlack Thread
Either a personal affector their name written on paper or fabric
To begin, collect your herbs in a vessel or – my personal favorite – an unused coffee filter.
Turn your black candle over, and carve the bottom into a point, collecting the wax shavings and adding them to the above herb mixture. You may also choose to flatten the top, as you’re basically creating a new “top” from the bottom. Rub this liberally with an oil of your choosing (if you wish; otherwise leave it naked).
After this has been completed, you will be making a doll in the shape of a head. For this, sew a head shape or oval into the fabric, completing it – I say this, because for this process, we will not be inverting the doll to stuff it. Pull the front and back apart, and in the front, cut a slit for a mouth and eye. *see bottom for details*
Through the eyes and mouth, stuff with either regularly stuffing, Spanish moss or fabric scraps. Do not forget to add in the personal affect or name (through the mouth would surely be easiest). Add in just a pinch of your herb mixture.
Again, prime your needle and thread and begin stitching the mouth closed. Finish. Then stitch closed the eyes (as a useful hint, begin on the outside of one eye, stitch across and instead of having to finish and re-knot, simply dive under the bridge and come out at the inside corner of the other eye – stitch across and close.)
This completes the doll.
If possible, light your candle in front of the doll and sprinkle your herb mixture on your victims property or where they will walk through it (near their car driver-side door is prime territory!) – as the candle burns. However, given that could be hazardous, you may let the candle burn first, then sprinkle your concoction (as long as a day after).
Theslits in the doll should look (roughly) like this:

So as you guys know, I’m struggling with some bullshit body wise that is both physical and mental (but mostly mental). Here is a spell I made to help myself deal with that.
**DISCLAIMER**
THIS SPELL DOES NOT REPLACE MEDICINE, THERAPY, OTHER PROFESSIONAL TREATMENTS.
So here’s the spell!
Ingredients (for the tea):
Thyme
Cloves(I recommend whole cloves but I had to use ground so fml)
Cinnamon(definitely whole sticks if possible)
Green tea (this one is specific to my issues because reasons that I hope are obvious enough without me saying it)
Chamomile
Peppermint
(Yes, it will smell a little funky. But it’s consumable.)
Stones (this whole thing is optional but if you’re feeling fancy then go for it):
Carnelian
Amethyst
Jade
Rose Quartz
Celestite (extra optional)
Instructions!
Brew your tea at night during a waning moon.
Pour the tea into a bowl
Put your stones in a glass and put the glass in a bowl (I believe these stones are water safe, not sure about celestite so I put them in a glass just in case. BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY LET ME TELL YOU)
Leave that there overnight, under the moonlight if you can but otherwise just leave it there
Next morning, turn on ur witchiness and say this prayer/poem/thing (down below) with CONFIDENCE
(Optional) Add some milk because it reminds me of the moon idk tbh
Drink that shit like you would cough medicine and peace out
“No child of God should have to suffer ills of the mind, dissatisfaction with the body. No child of God walks alone in their struggles and no child of God is powerless to change that which torments them. -insert Psalms 34:7-20- The Lord our God has told us, -insert Isaiah 41:10- In His name, I therefore banish the dark thoughts, I banish the pain and the anguish, I banish the self-loathing, the obsession with fault, I banish the crippling, toxic illness of the mind, and I banish the unappreciated things about my body that have sown the seeds of this darkness and nurtured it. I am a child of God. And I deserve to be all that I want to be. I deserve to love myself and be better for it. If it’s God’s will, so shall it be.”
Some links that have various Abrahamic charms, spells, rituals, etc and that talk about such things as Cunning Folk, Fairy Doctors, and others who practice witchcraft in the name of such religions as Christianity and Judaism
making an emoji manifestation spell because my boyfriend has a phone interview on wednesday and once he gets the job we can move out asap!
i am claiming this as reality and manifesting our future
✅
this is pretty specific to my situation but if you are counting on a job to get you where you need to be, in my case a new apartment, you can use this too. change the last two emojis to what it is the job will manifest and make possible in your life and change the first two if it isn’t a phone interview.
i just wanted to say that even if you haven’t practiced in almost a year bc you moved back home from school where you can’t practice like me, or for any other reason,
you are still a witch
and even if all you have energy for is an occasional emoji spell,
to keep money flowing, to put your resume in front of people, to get on the schedule, to turn the fire into flames that get you where you want to be
This WORKS!! Seriously.
okay another update, i told u last time i was transferring to a new store and now i have moved out of the department i was in and i’m a cashier! i get to talk with other women as opposed to old men selling lawn mowers lol! and the hours are better, i don’t think i will be working until 11pm now! share this spell and put your intentions OUT THERE. i’ve said it before but as i’m now living with my parents again i’m not really able to practice and do spells and stuff like that at home, and also while struggling with different ailments mentally and physically it can be hard to keep up with your craft, and sometimes an emoji spell is the best you can do. but if the intent is there, it’s just as good.
comment any low energy spells i can easily do that may be helpful with my transition, or to get a new job.
positive vibes?
here’s my emoji spell for this:
if you’re going through it, like & reblog to cast.
✨ ☄️
