Day 27: Why I'm a Wiccan

So today I'm going to talk about why I"m a Wiccan. I've been a Wiccan since I was around twelve and even though I had to leave the path, or at least make it look as though I had, I still had Wiccan beliefs and I still did things like meditation and focusing my intention. These things you don't need tools to be able to do, but you need to practice and grow. And that does take time. I'm a Wiccan because that's what I feel connected with and what I love to practice.

I see the magic in everything and I feel that Wicca is a path that recognizes that and honors that. Now there will be things that I don't agree with or doesn't feel like they mean anything to me. I don't follow the Rede, I believe in balance, and I don't believe in archetypes. I believe in things that can be proven and not just because it's something that others think are great. I love Wicca, even if I don't agree with what other Wiccans believe.

And that's just fine.

Day 2: Knowing the Gods are Real Is Not What Makes them Real

I was reading "Under the Ancient Oaks" and the title above is the title that he used. I'm going to just talk about what I've seen and how it connects to the title.

Though I will admit that sometimes some of my practices look Wiccan when all I'm doing is trying to figure out how to best approach what I'm doing. In the time that I've been around I've seen debates over the gods and if their real, archetypes, so on. Personally I view them as being real. But my view isn't what makes them real. It's their presence in my life, how I've interacted with them, and how they have helped me. I've asked the gods for help in strength, patience (my present job is very stressful because people want me to work faster than is possible), and protection while traveling. I've done offerings to the Norse, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman gods...

Day 21: Midsummer Weather

Today was Midsummer and it was one hot day. I mean, not in the morning but it heated up really quickly by time the afternoon came around. Midsummer, as I've mentioned before, is when the sun is at it's height but it will start losing energy as we get closer to the dark half of the year. Me and my mother did enjoy ourselves and I had to wait until the weather had cooled down enough so that I could do my actual ritual. I hope that everyone had a good one.
