We started each day with Assembly. Each class came in to the gym row by row. The school principal stood in the front and led the prayers. We said the Our Father and the prayer to our guardian angel. Then we sang one song in English and one in French. We were then all ready to start our day. I would look around at the faces at Assembly, and I could feel a serenity and a deep joy at being together and celebrating something greater than ourselves. We sang and prayed. Nobody rolled their eyes or caused a commotion. We enjoyed this time as much as any other part of our day. My experience of religious affairs had always been tainted with the feeling that it was something you put up with. But there, in Assembly, we were singing and having a good time. It was a solemn occasion without being stern. It was joyous without being frivolous. It felt good to be there. And it became a daily part of my life.

While Christianity traditionally condemns witchcraft as a dark and sinful practice, a Christian witch rejects this notion and **seeks to reclaim and redeem witchcraft within a Christian framework**. They believe that magic can be used to bring healing, protection, and spiritual growth, all in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ. **The way of a Christian witch involves a deep connection with nature and the elements**. They believe that nature is a powerful source of divine wisdom and that by working with the natural world, they can access spiritual insights and guidance. This connection with nature is often expressed through practices such as earth-based rituals, herbalism, and communing with the spirits of plants and animals. Much like other practitioners of witchcraft, a Christian witch may also engage in divination and psychic abilities, such as tarot reading, astrology, and mediumship. They see these practices as ways to tap into the divine wisdom and guidance that is available to all people. Overall, **the way of a Christian witch is a personal and individual journey**. It is a path of self-discovery and spiritual growth that combines elements of Christianity and witchcraft to create a unique expression of spirituality. By seeking to integrate their Christian faith with their magical practice, Christian witches strive to live a life of love, compassion, and connection with the divine..

1. John - 2 stars - I picked up "The Way of a Christian Witch" hoping for a unique blend of Christian spirituality and witchcraft, but I was sorely disappointed. The book seemed to lack depth and substance, with vague explanations and superficial practices. It felt more like a mishmash of unrelated concepts than a cohesive guide. I was left feeling unsatisfied and yearning for more concrete information and practical applications. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone seeking a true integration of Christian and witchcraft traditions.

2. Melissa - 1 star - I found "The Way of a Christian Witch" to be highly confusing and contradictory. The author attempts to bridge the gap between Christianity and witchcraft, but ultimately fails to provide any practical guidance or clear direction. The ideas presented seem haphazardly thrown together without any real understanding of either tradition. I struggled to make sense of the author's message and ended up feeling frustrated and disappointed. This book lacks the depth and authenticity it promises, and I would advise readers to look elsewhere for a more coherent exploration of these two belief systems.

3. Sarah - 2 stars - As someone who considers myself both a Christian and a witch, I was excited to find a book that aimed to reconcile these seemingly opposing paths. However, "The Way of a Christian Witch" left me feeling unfulfilled. The writing style was convoluted and difficult to follow, making it hard to grasp the concepts being presented. The author's attempts to blend Christianity and witchcraft often felt forced and inauthentic.
