My Views

I see this Spirit. Its in everything and everyone. You can call it Will Power, Love, Free Will, or whatever. I see it as what keeps us alive and evolving. Now since I am human, I translate what the Spirit is into two forms. The God and the Goddess. The God: The Lord, The Father, The Sun. The Goddess: The Lady, The Mother, The Moon. Each have their own personalities and traits which we use to hone down our purpose in spells and rituals. After the God and the Goddess there are lesser deities such as those you have read in mythology. There is Athena, Appollo, the Muses, and such from Greek Mythology. These are representations of even more specific traits such as Athena's wisdom. There is a LOT of symbolism in witchcraft and paganism.

I don't like organized religion. I feel that spirituality comes from personal experience and pondering. I don't really like the idea that you are whatever religion your parents are. But of course at such a young age you don't know the differences in religion and such. I like the idea of in the future raising my kids in paganism and witchcraft. But also instill in their minds that they have the free will to choose whatever religion that they feel is right for them. I hear too many of my friends say that they don't agree with their religion but won't move out of it. There is always a choice even if it is a hard one. Natural Witches. I think that there is such a thing. I feel that if you are born into a family of witches that have been practicing for generations that the magick is stronger within you. But mainly because you have always been surrounded by those beliefs. The longer you have been around it then the stronger the belief is. I am strong in my beliefs now but in years to come they will become stronger.

I like the Harm None rule. I see religion as this big stick. With Christianity on one end saying that you should do good to others before yourself. Then Wicca in the middle saying that you should do good to yourself and then others. Then Satanism on the other end. I had a friend explain to me once about Satanism. The way I view it is that they believe that you should do good for yourself and not worry about others. If I am wrong in this please correct me. Of course there are many many more religions but I think these are the three most concise tenets that you can compare to one another.

All through school, I liked subjects like math, band, music, and science dealing with math. And the reason why is because in those classes I would learn basic steps, then expand on them with each lesson. I could see myself learning more and more and I had a good view of what was inteh future for me to learn. This is also why I love witchcraft. I'm always learning. And just when you think you have learned all you could about one thing you turn around and there is a whole new aspect for you to explore. I love the feeling that there is SO much out there that I am having trouble thinking of what to do first. I'll never be bored with witchcraft. The seasons are always changing and there are always more things to learn.

Of course this makes it hard to make friends. My first Wiccan that I found was a pretty good friend of mine. When she told me she was a Celtic Wiccan I got all excited. I think I even spilt my drink on the ground! I immediately started asking her about the things I've come to know such as stones, poetry, Sabbats, and such. And she just looked at me weird. She never really spent time learning things like that. She has devoted her time to element magick and the elementals and Celtic lore. I didn't know much about those things. So even though we were the only two Wiccans in school we couldn't talk about what magick work we did because it was totally different. She is still a good friend and we can talk about Sabbats and the religion in general. That is just to say how broad this religion is.

I'll end on the note that these are my views now. When I started in Witchcraft I thought of something slightly different. I will always keep my mind open. As of now I am planning my future around me being a witch and all. But I will always keep my mind open to new possiblities. I have my faith. Its GREAT for me now but who knows later on.
