Default Friends with the enemy?

I have come to a dilemma I was hoping not to have to face for a while; allow me to explain.

Before I became a Christian, I was heavilly into the pubbing and clubbing scene, and this had many advantages, such as the amazing friends I made and then constant socialisation.

One of the friends I made was a young girl called Karen, who I really grew to love (as a mate), because she was very caring and listening, and was always there for me, especially in my darkest hours and most hurting times.

Well since I became a Christian, I left the pub and club scene behind, and it seems that all my darkest hours and hard times have been turned over to Jesus, and I'm happier than I've ever been.

Well anyway, because of me being out of the scene, I've left a lot of my old friends behind, and this isn't always the best. I do miss them.

Well today, I got a message on my Myspace from Karen saying she missed me and wanted to go out for a drink sometime to catch up and stuff.

I would love to accept, but I'm kinda worried. You see, she's a practicing Wiccan, and I'm not sure what the Bible teaches on being friends with people who dabble in the occult. I also wouldn't know how to approach the whole new found faith issue in discussion with her, and wouldn't wanna lose her friendship because of my new faith in Jesus.

So what should I do? Obviously Jesus said love everyone, and everyone needs to hear the word of God from someone, and no-one would ever say not to befriend a Jew or a Muslim. But equally, Wicca isn't a religion so much as it is pure evil.

Any ideas how I should approach this?
