1)How did you find your current path?
Through lots and LOTS of research, searching, and experimentation. It was really hard to find something that really clicked...come to find out, I was looking in all the wrong places.
2)What about your path brings you fulfillment?
The idea that I already have everything I need to help make my life (and the lives of those around me) better--or at least easier--if the need should arise. Of course I can answer for myself, and I am fortunate in that I tend to have very few difficulties that would require outside influence to fix, but not everyone I know is so lucky.
3)What about your path is a challenge for you?
The challenge lies in the lack of centralization and unity. I grew up in a Christian home, going to Church as often as time, health, and weather would allow, and grew accustomed to the unity (or, at least, the appearance thereof--my parents' church turned out to be riddled with completely unrelated problems) of the church congregation and the centralized focus of their faith. It really is a lonely road, and it's hard to know if you're doing things right when all one can rely on is gut instinct. All information is useful in its own way, but once the debates over information begins, it's very easy to get confused, then frustrated, with what's available.
Hi, my name is Cytherene, and I'm a tasseophilic Animist who's constantly studying. It's a pleasure to meet you all. |

Anyone about?
What about some questions to start things up?
1)How did you find your current path?
2)What about your path brings you fulfillment?
3)What about your path is a challenge for you?
1)I found my current path after a long, crazy journey through a mish-mash of Christian religions. I had just broken free from the JW cult when I happened upon references to "Goddess Worship." Since I was totally unable to connect to what I had come to view as a fierce punishing Christian God, (male) but still spiritually hungry I was immediately intrigued. I looked around and found Wicca and after much reading and deep contemplation became a solitary practitioner.
2)I find fulfillment in ritual, in magic, in my quiet studies and meditation. In communion with my Goddess I find deep satisfaction.
3)For me the rough part is accepting that my goddess does not require my servitude. She is not looking for grovelling such as I grew up accustomed to. She wants me to learn from her, to follow her paths to wisdom but she does not require an huge portion of gratitude for it, just my sincere thanks. I sometimes feel my own need/desire to give more. I think this has to do with wanting my Goddess to be the "parent" or "grown-up" in the relationship, with wanting the responsibility to belong to "other-than-me." |

Hi, I am Spiraal.
I see that this community was started some time ago but seems to be having some trouble getting started. :) It happens.
I am a Pagan and have been so for about eight years. I follow my goddess' paths and serve her as best I can. I have been trying to gain a firmer foundation in ritual because I mega-unsure of how to conduct one. I've read a lot about it but would really love to actually see more live people cast a circle and call the quarters and all. Maybe I am more visually oriented than I thought.
I am not sure what else to say. I guess I'll end there and just wait and see whether or not I am just talking to myself. :)
Yours,
Spiraal |
