There is no reason that you need to follow any sort of Pagan religion (which includes Druidry by the way) in order to practice magic. Magic is an art and a practice, not a religion.
Traditional Witchcraft is one aspect you might explore, and perhaps discuss a bit with Brysing. Much of early witchcraft was centered around spellwork that employed Biblical passages. So you could continue to follow the lifestyle practices while still embracing your Christian beliefs.
There are also some forms of Christianity that embrace concepts such as a Divine Femine, personal gnosis, environmental concerns and caring for the Earth that you might also want to look at. Try reading some of the books by Matthew Fox such as "One River, Many Wells" and "The Coming of the Cosmic Christ".
I think that attending a UU Church is a great way to start looking for something that truly speaks to your spirituality. And remember that there is nothing stopping you from stepping away from labels and traditions and creating a spirituality that is uniquely your own.
What has already been said is what it should stay at. I agree with you guys 100%. If you choose not believe in something, so shall it be. Remember, you aren't trying to benefit a god or deity, you're trying to benefit yourself in magick. You shouldn't have to kneel at an altar to cast a love spell.
Lark, I am in no way Christian anymore. I hate that God's contradictory image. From my history with witchcraft, I feel I cannot and will not go back there. Maybe traditional witchcraft.
Many people are athiest pagans. They view the gods as symbols if I remember right. In this way, they work more with what the god symbolizes, not the god themselves
There are so many different path choices for me to study. I'm going to begin studying some and write about them on my blog to help myself learn more about them. I did hear of the athiest Pagan perspective, but I don't think I'd even want to worship them as symbols. It's possible. I'd have to take a mythology course first.
Your problem is exactly like mine. I was Christian, found Wicca, and explored through there. My solution was, for almost for two years, to completely ignore the whole aspect of gods and goddesses. It wasn't until the last two weeks that I start following a goddess, but to me goddesses and gods are just souls that are so advanced that they do not incarnate anymkre, and instead help others with their carnations in advancement. The things that they "reside" over, in my opinion, where their characteristics and specialties when they were incarnating. So basically, gods and goddesses aren't divine per se, just one of us that are knowing and helping; like tutors waiting for us to ask them for help.
If this helps you or not, I don't know, but hopefully!
