Wiccan Christians, will you share with me your core beliefs?

I am a Christian. That is, I believe in Jesus as the son of god and my redeemer/connection to god. But the Bible seems limited in its description of god and the universe. I feel in my heart that there is more meaning and life. Wicca fills in these gaps for me by giving a multitude of different faces to my God, and adding color and depth to the world around me. The sterile and monochrome images of God and life, provided by the christian churches, wreak havoc on my spirit and mind. But, Wicca soothes me. It is a more natural view of God and the world. I believe that God is both male and female, and that he/she is all around me and in me. After all, our reality is a manifestation of her/his words, so wouldn't everything around us and in us be messages from God? The Bible was written by so many different people with their own personal and political agendas. Each person has a limited view of our world. And when they put their view into words, well, words alone are limited in their ability to convey feelings, emotions, and spiritual vibes. The Holy Spirit is my guide. Jesus has bridged the great gap for me. Now, I see things in the Bible that do not ring true in my heart. I need more life and more nature, something living. Wicca rings true for me because it is what I need it to be. But it does not force itself on me. It's like a breath of fresh air for my suffocating soul. Now, I would like other Christian Wiccans to share their views with me. Does anyone feel like I do? This is all new to me and I admit, I am struggling with it a little. There are those on both sides who would shun me for the path I have chosen.
