Re: Mixing Catholicism with Witchcraft?
It depends on what you describe "witchcraft" is. If we use the traditional definition and concept, then they're very incompatible.
But if we define it, as many in the Pagan community do, as simply another term for "folk magic", then that's an entirely different story. Folk magic has a long history of being fused with Christianity; how else do you think it lasted long enough, as a cultural practice, to be re-appropriated by the Neopagan movement?
Though, as MaskedOne said earlier in the thread, it would require considerable modification to Catholic beliefs.
