Yes. Wicca mostly involves getting back to a nature based life. Every life form has a purpose. It also believes in cosmic balance. If you send negativity out into the universe or harm someone, it will come back to you times 3.

Might I recommend you reference a book called "The Truth About Witchcraft Today", by Scott Cunningham?

And most Wiccans do, in fact, worship God...or gods.

Wicca is a nature worship religion, it's Pagan with no one God. Instead of 10 commandments Wiccans follow the Wiccan Rede, Do As Ye Will but Harm None. And abide by the rule of threes, any energy you send out into the universe whether positive or negative will come back on you three fold.

Yes, you can though many people would criticize you and be opposed to your beliefs. It would just be Christianity with a belief in a magic. Also, the term for following more then one religion is mystic.

EDIT: I'm assuming that you're talking about the Christian god.

Simply yes. Wiccan's have both a Mother God and a Father God. Many pagan beliefs do. Worship isn't a really great word though. Worship implies that you have to be in awe of but if they are our Divine parents, why would you worship? You wouldn't expect your children to bow and kneel in front of you. You expect unconditional love. Believe the same of your Source.

The deception of Wicca is what you consider God?
This is quite complex but i will try to be simple.
Wicca sees God in many forms nature mostly the sun, moon,winds etc.
Problem with this is these things are the creature of God.
So the falsityTys this they serve the creature and not the Creator.
They worship the creature and not the Creator.
God takes back seat to no one or thing.
1st command I am the lord thy God you shall have no other God before me!
Your answer is within your self don't be decieved. 1st off there is a problem! a conflict in the command

I know about Wicca. Wiccans worship a God and a Goddess. Many Wiccans are Christian Wiccans. They believe that Yahweh has a consort sometimes referred to as Shekinah. But it is not a monotheistic religion.

I have posted a link to the Principles of Wiccan belief. I hope that helps. Email me if you have any other questions.

Wicca does deal with God and Goddess as partners in creation. There are a number of good books out there to learn more. The answer to your question though depends on from whose point of view you are looking at it from. It is possible to have Wicca beliefs and practice Christianity (at least from the Wiccan side of the fence) on the christian side doing so brands you "heathen", "sinner", "pagan" (the last of which is not actually a negative term actually quite an accurate term for a Wicca). In my experience Wicca and vicunas are a lot more open to other religions and points of view than a lot of other religions and points of view are open to Wicca and vicunas.

Wiccans know about Wicca. You can not be a Wicca and worship God effectively. If you are not for God than you are against him. To be Wicca and pursue a life in God is a lost cause to the extent that you place the values of Wicca over God's commandments.

Yes ABSOLUTELY!!! It is usually the christian definitions of worship that get you into trouble. As a practicing Wiccan, I have a very powerful foundation in Christianity. I have a christian husband, and two soul-searching children, that I take to a Pentecostal church every chance I get. Why you might ask? Because the fellowship at the church is just the thing my family needs. I am not the most popular person in the pulpits (I throw a killer Halloween party annually) , but the pastor and congregation are always welcoming and are very truthful about moral teachings. They do not exorcise anyone. While they will tell me truthfully "I do not approve" they never say that I am not welcome. I am very successfully blending Christianity and Wicca in my home. I grew up as a southern Baptist and have a very powerful belief in Jesus Christ, accepting him as a Savior was a truly beautiful and life changing moment, I just don't follow the rules of any denomination.
