HELLO!!!
I was wondering if you were still posting on here. I don't spend too much time on here because, as many others have said, this forum feels to have shrunk in recent months.
Spiritual paths - Definitely Pagan, and would like to formally self-dedicate as a Solitary Wiccan
Main spiritual interests- Hermetic Magick, as opposed to Ceremonial Magick (raising and using energy with the mind alone as opposed to perfomring complicated rituals), divination using Tarot and Runes, mythology.
Do you belong in a spiritual group/coven?- Strictly solitary.
Happiest when- Dancing, because that is the easiest way for me, at this point, to raise energy, as it is done in a large group setting.
Why I am Pagan- I have been in a relationship, for the past 4 years, with a man in his late 60's, who introduced me to concepts that are found in the Pagan realm. Raising and using energy, the concepts of discipline and determination and Karma, the idea that you for the most part create the reality that you live in. He has been a Martial Artist for over 40 years, and these were aspects of his training. When he and I went through a very painful separation late last year (that we are still working through) I happened to research Paganism and Wicca and found that this area of spirituality encompasses a lot of his instruction. So, I adopted it, and am using it as a tool for self-improvement, because the separation WAS my fault.
I also believe that it is MY will for my life that is important, not what others think I should be doing. Anyone can TELL me what I may want to consider doing, but it is totally up to me whether or not I do it. I refuse to let anyone else define me as a person.
