Anybody else combine Wicca with Native American Spirituality?

Actually I do blend Nat.Am Spirituality with Witchcraft (not Wicca) as well as Vodou and Buddhism....I dont have any stories to share mind you I mean its just the way I do things and it works out very well for me...Though many think its odd that i would be able to combine those paths and some actually think its not possible..they really do mesh together beautifully but I find that so many ppl dont look outside the box so they dont see how it could work.

I have been noticing your Avatar for awhile and decided to check your site and see if we had anything in common. Even though you posted this discussion 6 months ago I could not resist commenting...because this combination is what I have been practicing for years. I started out with Native American Spirituality and Shamanism. Then another parallel with your path is the fact that I began looking into Wicca when a friend introduced me to Scott Cunningham's books. The oneness with All That Is and the connection to power animals, the elements and directions works well for me. One of the authors that assisted me in my connection to the natural world and wildlife is Ted Andrwes. His Animal Speak and Animal Wise books really deepened my appreciation for and connection to the amazing animals we share the world with...and their special medicine powers. They are books that I return to for reference every time I spot an animal...I go there to see what special message their presence is revealing to me in the moment. Glad you posted this...I think we will probably be having more discussions in the not too distant future. Great topic...glad you presented it!

I actually blend Native American Spirituality with Christian beliefs. They actually do blend nicely, if you read the Bible with an open mind and separate actual religious dictations from historical culture. It's been very beneficial for me and has helped me center my life in ways I didn't even know I could.

I don't have a story to share, and I don't share your beliefs being an atheist myself, but I thought I might comment on the fact that both are pagan religions derived from the same source, which is why they're so similar in practice and blend as well as they do. Pagan religions are the oldest in existence, and although modern Wicca differs quite a bit from what would be considered authentic, it follows the same principles that every pagan culture has .. the worship of multiple deities as compared to one central god, the worship of nature, etc.

I must admit I know nothing about Native American Spirituality but it's something I would be open minded at looking at, perhaps if you can send me some links on the subject if you have any I would be quite keen to read up on it as it sounds really interesting! Brightest Blessings!

I used to study Wicca and was had spent time with the High Priestesses of Ravenwood in Atlanta. After years of being involved with Wicca and Spiritism, I became a Christian. Life is so much better that I would never turn back that what I had in Wicca. It makes so much more sense and I'm so much happier, too.

I don't blend, per se. However, because I am half Native American, I do tend to use things from both sides of my heritage. My great-grandfather and members of his family taught me things that were Native American, and his wife taught me things that were Celtic. Sometimes throughout my life it's seemed like I'm leaning one way more than the other, and right now I'm definitely more into the Celtic side. However, there are also parts of the way I live my life that I can look at and say "I do this because I am Native American."
