Trinitarian Wicca

Trinitarian Wicca is an American Wicca path highly influenced by the Alexandrian and Dianic Traditions that works with the Christian Pantheon. It is a form of non-dogmatic Christianity, so please check your Bibles at the door.
Starting in October of 1999, I began a Yahoo Group using "Christian Wicca" as a working title reflecting the an eclectic practice of a non-British / American Tradition of Wicca. By 2002, this path developed it's name, the Trinitarian Tradition. This tradition evolved as a group of Wiccan practitioners focused on a Goddess-inclusive Christian trinity.
This tradition tends to favor many Goddesses from Gnosticism, Kabbalah, the Pseudopigrapha, and early cross patterns between the Jewish & Greco-Roman pantheons: Sophia, Shekinah, the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, Lilith as the dark Mother, twin to Shekinah, Asherah, Jerah, Barbelo, Zoe, and Grace.
Yes, we are Wiccans - we are polytheistic Christians and we do not believe that the Divine - that "God and Goddess" - is emminent, not transcendent.
The mere term Christian Wicca upset many and my research turned up a natural pattern among practitioners that was far more descriptive and less contraversial. However, by that time - the term working term had become popular and it was hard to express the concepts of Trinitarian Wicca without using the term Christian.
The Trinitarian Tradition grew as Wiccans began to practice the Wheel of the Year through the eight solar festivals, the sabbats and the thirteen full moons, the esbats. In addition, extra emphasis was placed on the cross quarter sabbats dedicated to the Young God Jesus Christ and were called kyriats. Trinitarian practitioners celebrate the Wiccan faith, but cannot be considered ChristoPagan because their devotion lies exclusively with the Christian pantheon and the celebration it's many trinities.
Christian Wicca is not really the name of the tradition. The term Christian is used as a description for the pantheon observed in this particular practice of Wicca, much like the concept of Celtic Wicca, Alexandrian Wicca, or Dianic Wicca. Contrary to popular belief, it is not an oxymoronic concept for fundamental Christians who want to "make believe they are witches" but are afraid to leave the Christian church. There is nothing fundamental about Christian or Trinitarian Wiccans.

Trinitarian Wicca is the merger of the Christian Trinity of the God, Goddess, and the Sun (Son) God Jesus. Saints, angels, and elemental spirits also supplement the ritual and spell techniques of Trinitarian Wicca.

Like all books, this is only one attempt to explain and demonstrate this belief system. I do not suggest it is the only way. I do offer this book of lengthy rituals as a means to bridge the gap for many practitioners who feel trapped between two worlds.
If this concept does not appeal to you or you are offended by magickal Christianity in anyform, please do not join this group.
