Polish Folk Witch (on instagram and Patreon) has an excellent article on dual faith practice and syncretism among folk witches: Dual Faith: the elephant in the room of the witchcraft community.
The topic of dual faith keeps returning on a regular basis in the broader witchcraft community online, especially on the intersection of folk magic, paganism and christian occultism.
Folk witches often practice some form of dual faith, developed based on the mixture their cultural background, religious background, as well as bioregional features and animistic immersion in the world around them. Each folk witch’s exact praxis will therefore vary.
—Joanna Wiedźma (Polish folk witch)
This reminded me of my articles on dual faith practice based on an essay I wrote for my masters degree.
Dual-faith practice (part 1 of 4)
Dual-faith practice (part 2 of 4)
Dual-faith practice (part 3 of 4)
Dual-faith practice (part 4 of 4)
And this article that I wrote about my personal experiences of practising more than one religion (not the same as syncretic practices):
And here’s one that I wrote about my spiritual wobbles:

I really love your writing, Yvonne, and your honesty. Dual belonging is not an easy path, and I’ve had several wobbles related to Paganism. Community is extremely important to me, especially for ritual as well as sharing of ideas. It is sorely lacking here, in spite of all my efforts to socialise more. Your words are comforting, thought-provoking, and encouraging. Thank you.

Wobbling but not falling reminded me of a room I used to host on Clubhouse. It was called, Spirituality without the training wheels! Yay!
