Hey, I'm Mandy, age 15, Aquarious, and female, of course.
I was a normal Christian when a friend of mine told me about the Harry Potter books and I became a big fan of them when I started reading the first book.
During the next year after that, I met a group of kids who were nice to me until I told them I wanted to be Sailor Moon during a role playing game we were doing at the park. They were all being people from The Bible. They all looked at me and started talking bad about her, so I just said I would be Hermione Granger from the HP books. That's when they started doing the "Harry Potter is evil!" thing to me until I cried. I only stopped when mom saw me crying and took me away from them and told them to stop being mean to me. (I was young. If it was recent, I could have defended myself)
Then a nearby library was throwing a party for the movie. It was a genneral Harry Potter party. I was really happy because I was tired of running into kids like the group I ran into at the park. I was soo looking forward to it.
Then a group of protesters protested in front of the library for three or four days, maybe evan a week, until they cancelled it. It was then I decided to not be as Christian as I was before then.
Then I met a girl named Hannah. She was the only kid in the whole naborhood, so we played on her swing set. It was too small for me, so we played crocet. It was really boring for the both of us, so I decided to make a little quiditch game out of the stuff. We used mallets as brooms and her dog with one of the balls as the snitch. Hannah the sport queen won of course, but then her dad came out and asked us what we were doing. I thought they were a normal family, so I told him what we were doing. Then he got mad and told me I couldn't play with her unless we played "wholesome" games. I left. A while after that I fond a witchcraft section at the library and looked at the book covers. I couldn't get the books because of my parents, so I just tried to be the best Wiccan I could be without any knowledge of it. I did a poor job until I asked my mom about a year later if I could get the books. She said yes, so I started to become a Wiccan.
I was the biggest Wiccan ever. I felt better then than ever. And I was free to read what I wanted.
Then I got a computer after being Wiccan for about 3 or 4 years and joined Pagan forums. They all seemed to talk about Christians being intolerant toward them, but most of them didn't share the same disliking of it as I did.
With internet access and the fact that spiritual fulfilment wasn't good enough for me anymore because of my grudge against Christians (I only told you some of the things that happened to me because I like Harry Potter!), I decided to go to the farthest point I knew: Satanism.
I was a teeny-bopper Satanist until I was 14 and a half. I was a LeVayan Satanist through the rest of my time in Paganism.
When I started to look for the candles for the altar, I fond plenty white, but when I went to the other place I usually went to for that stuff, the only ones left were for display only and they wouldn't get them in anymore. That was the only place that sold black candles.
I was trying to think about what to do when I thought of the long time I spent away from the God I began to hate because of some stupid people. I thought of the good Christians that were good to the planet, such as Mother Teresa and others. I then slowly became a Christian, and I have recently got into Catholicism. I am now 15. (Duh!)
Mind you, it would be easier to relate to everything that happened if I had typed it in full, but I honestly just wanted to get this post done.
Anyway, now I plan on becoming Catholic officially when I become an adult. (My parents are Baptist's and have to work on the weekends, so we don't go to Church.) Then I plan on becoming a missionary and becoming a nun when I retire.
That's basically it for now. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
