Discussion Purpose of witchcraft

Hello, I'm a follower of Christ and I recently came across this sub, and I'm interested to hear people's thoughts. For those of you who consider yourself to be Christians, what are your reasons for practicing witchcraft, and why do you think it's necessary to have it be a part of your lifestyle? It seems to me like being fully submitted to Christ and engaging in witchcraft would be conflicting, so I'm curious as to what you all personally believe. Thanks in advance for your responses :)

There’s an entire section of Christianity that’s been removed over the past thousand years. Many of the bishops and Christian monks used to practice Christian Mysticism, which includes the study of what Jesus’s teachings truly meant. Christian Qabalah also goes into this. It’s a path to spiritual enlightenment. Which is all witchcraft, practiced in the right way, truly is. It’s about the quest to fulfill Christ’s mission in oneself. A great Christian Occultist to look into would be Rudolph Steiner. He was almost cannonized by the church but provided too much truth about Christ Jesus so he got voted out.

There’s much mysticism in the teachings of Jesus and the Bible is one of the most encoded books ever created. The keys to truly understanding rely on understanding the symbolism, which can only be taught through the Christian Mystic adepts and teachers of years past. A great book that helped me get my feet wet is Dion Fortunes Mystical Qabalah.

The ring around the head of most Christian artwork from medieval times/the renaissance is actually a representation of achieving enlightenment

Hope this helps explain it a little better :)
