That we may lift our own Cup in praise of all there is


That our beauty be remembered rather than our shortcomings


That the Goddess within each of us may emerge and dance the world into being


That we may look each other in the eye and truly see the grandness that is our gift.

I chose the path of Christian Witchcraft because I needed to celebrate life. I wanted to raise my hands and glorify the Almighty. I wanted to walk the world in complete awe of creation. I needed to honor the sanctity of being a woman and of being the guardian of life. I felt the magic in me to create and heal and build. And I needed to keep my own Christian tradition because it had never betrayed me or let me down. And everything I believed in, from the nature of God to the power of magic, I understood better through Jesus and the lessons he taught us.




It has been ten years now that I study alternate expressions of Christianity, mostly focused around Pagan Christianity. It is my true passion. At the beginning of this journey, I was looking for a sacred expression of myself and of my gifts. I randomly stumbled unto Wicca and a new world opened up for me. I dedicated three years of my life to intense study with the Crescent Moon School of Witchcraft and Paganism, where I learned about ritual, spell crafting, mythology, energy work, divination and world religions, amongst other subjects. When I left the school, it was to wander and forge my own identity as a Witch and as a Christian. I took courses in shamanism, naturopathy and I also continued my studies in theology in an attempt to go back to the roots of Christianity and understand what it was like at the beginning, before politics had infiltrated the temple. This is the work of a life time. I have accepted that the path of the Christian Witch is that of the seeker. The search is exciting, but never ending.


My hope is that this web site will give a base of resources for other seekers of non-traditional Christianity and that we will be able to share our insights and deep feelings about the treasures that has been revealed to us through both the Goddess and Our Lord Jesus.


I wish you a peaceful and magical journey on this path if that is your calling. May the Lord be with you always.

 



B.Sc. Microbiology and Immunology

This is where I learned that we need to remain critical and consistent in our study of the world, no matter what we study.


B.Sc. Occupational Therapy

Here, I learned that it is in service to others that we grow as people, and that every problem has a solution.


Crescent Moon School of Witchcraft and Paganism

I completed three levels of the curriculum where I forged the essence of my identity as a Christian Witch.


Basic Shamanism

I use journeying to commune with spirits, ask questions and seek wisdom on the fabric of the worlds.


Naturopathic methods

I have followed courses in herbalism, Chakra balancing, somatics and Reiki. I keep all these techniques in my ‘backpack’ for when the need arises.


Theology and Bioethics

If you want to go to the roots of your tradition, you have to study your tradition. That means history, archaeology, philosophy, theology... It is the work of a life time.
