Christo-Paganism

Christo-Paganism is a syncretic new religious movement defined by the combination of Christian and neopagan practices and beliefs.

Beliefs and practices

Christo-Paganism is a set of beliefs held by some neopagans that encompasses Christian teachings. Christo-Pagans may identify as witches, druids, or animists. Most, but not all, worship the Christian God. Some Christo-Pagans may consider the Mary, [mother of Jesus|Virgin Mary] to be a goddess, or a form of the Goddess (Neopaganism)|Goddess]. Christo-Pagans typically believe in the divinity of Jesus, and that Christian and neopagan beliefs are not mutually exclusive. Some Christians who convert to neopaganism are hesitant to entirely give up their original faiths, and become Christo-Pagans.
Some Christo-Pagans use rosaries and prayer beads, and pray to non-Christian deities, such as Persephone. Some may also practice ceremonial magic or magick. There are Christian priests who identify as Christo-Pagan.
