Hi Heather, it really sounds like you need help!
Firstly, I want to explain that no real Christian can be a wiccan. You can't be both. Someone who is a Christian is not someone who is brought up in a Christian family - but someone who decides that they believe Christ was the son of God, died on the cross personally for them, to redeem our sinful nature, rose again,is the way for a believer to eternal life, and decides to follow Jesus. The Bible explains that the only way to God and the promise of eternal life is by a personal faith in who Jesus was and what he did. Salvation is not to do with the "good" you have done, but having faith.
Wicca would be viewed by most Christians as allowing the Devil a foothold, unwittingly maybe.
Secondly, it is a decision, as someone already said, only you can come to. Before you discount Christianity, have you actually tried reading the Bible and praying? Tell God how confused you feel, ask Him if he is real, and Christ was the Son of God, to convince you of it. I do not believe he wil fail to answer your prayer. Most people dismiss Christianity without ever testing it. There is also a good website which will help - www.rejesus.co.uk
This is something of utmost importance. If you call yourself a wiccan and a christian then you do not know what it is to be a Christian. There are only two ways to live- to reject God which results in being condemned by God and death, or to rely on Jesus'death and resurrection, be forgiven by God and given eternal life:
"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him" John 3.36
Which way do you want to live? To accept wicca is to reject Christ.

Dear Heather,

Do not be discouraged! I understand your being confused.
Ask yourself what it is that YOU believe? Do not be concerned about what other people say you can not believe. Concentrate on your feelings and listen to what your heart tells you. If Wicca feels right to you stay with it. At the same time being Wiccan does not mean you have to completely give up your Christian values. There are ways to incorpate Christianity with Wicca. They can be merged together as a syncretic faith. It has been done already and there are many people on this path living proof of it everyday. This might be something for you to consider as an option. There are some against it(pagans + christians)but these folks are closeminded and do not tolerant other people well anyways so pay no attention to them. If you do decide to ever go this route there are resources out there for you. I wish you well on finding your path...

Brightest Blessings,
LadyMoonDragon
