Late night thoughts and ramblings.
People can say whatever they want about Paganism,Wiccans,Witch's,Spiritualists,Goddess worshipers,tree huggers,earth warriors or whatnot.The undeniable,unmistaken,100%,factual,unquestional truth is the path im on has made me a better man,a better person,a better human being for myself,the people around me,and mother earth.Everyone should be so lucky to have this.I only have one regret and thats that i did not find it earlier,but the important thing is that i found it.Now if you want to relate that as being saved?Then yes i have been saved,not by your Christ which i believe was a good man and do not have any ill feelings about him,not by his followers who are the ones who give him a bad name in my opinion but im sure there are "Good Christians out there....somewhere",but by my own willingness and openess to accept responsibility for myself and change what needed to be changed.To respect and honor the earth,the universe and everything in and on it.To acknowledge everything has balance to it.Light,dark,hot,cold,up,down,and male and female,which is why i pay honor to not only a God but also a Goddess.My actions,rituals,rites and everything i do in this honor has no evil intent and i am not evil,what i do is for the benefit of myself,my friends and loved ones and the earth,which also includes you.
If i were to have one wish,i would wish for everyone who is misinformed,misguided,and ignorant to what a Witch truly is to take the small amount of time it would take and read a book and be open enough to understand our ways,our symbolism,and why it is we do what we do.The only logical outcome of doing this would be that people would say "well theres no harm in that"Which is precisely what being a witch is about....Harming none.
Our path teaches to heal others and the earth,to honor the seasons and what this planet does for us to give all of us a home,to honor the elements to which if we did not have we would not exist.We honor Air,that which gives us the gift of breath,we honor water,that which gives us the gift of growth and keeps our bodies alive,we honor fire,that which gives us the gift of creation and heat,we honor the earth,the most sacred of gifts so that we have a place to live and grow food.We also honor our ancestors to whom our knowledge comes from,we honor a God and Goddess and whatever name is given to them they are there for us.You call him Jesus,we call him Pan,or Cernunnos,or the greenman,or Zues,we call our Goddess more than a thousand names and she answers to each one equally to any man,woman,child,or animal and plant in any country,any culture across time and space.
Some of our ways may be starnge to you,yours are equally starnge to us,but we accept that and respect that,we only want the same in return.I will never change,i will only evolve.I am a Witch,and i am proud of myself for being so.
