A "coming out" of sorts
There is only one person, maybe two that know this, but, I'm a witch.
I'm a solitary, I belong to no coven, I haven't yet self-initiated. But I will. As soon as I have all my tools and I consecrate them.
Christianity is not for me. I technically am Catholic. I was baptized, I had my communion, and my confirmation. I feel that there MUST have been a Jesus, and his message was a good one, and he didn't deserve what happened to him.
But I do NOT believe his mother was a virgin. And I do not believe he was any more the son of God than ANYONE else. If he healed anyone it was because he was trained in Reiiki (sp?). I believe that myth was taken from the story of Osiris and Isis. Osiris was murdered by his brother Typhon and was reborn as the Lord of the dead. I know that there are many pagan myths that were altered and turned into bible stories to convert the "pagans".
I have studied ancient religion since I was a child and the similarities between so-called "pagan" religions and Christian stories and holidays are too many to be ignored. So I know Christianity is pieces and parts of the old religion in all its forms.
If there is a God, how is their not a Goddess? I believe there is that and more. And I want to worship them in a way that I choose, even if most people think it's "Evil".
But it isn't!
The witches rede [creed] is "An [if] it harm none, do what thou wilt."
I know a lot of people don't believe in magic, or the spirit world, or psychic ability, but I have experienced them all within myself. I know it is real. All my life I have been looking for something to believe in, some kind of faith. I thought it was for people who were weak. But I haven't even begun in earnest, and I feel happy. I feel anything but weak.
I think a lot of people rely on the Christian God too much. They blame God for their woes and try to barter for things they want. There are few who actually are grateful for the things around them and even fewer who give thanks.
I just want to experience a religion that makes me feel something other than boredom and guilt. I've always felt there had to be something, maybe this is not the right path for me either, but right now, it feels right. And it has for years, I am only now finally having the courage to admit what I want and actually go after it.
Please wish me luck and do not condemn me.
I hope none of my friends hate me for this but if you do, I understand.
Blessed Be!
