hello all, i am LunarWind, a 16y/o newbe wiccan. i thought id give you some of my backround before i ask for help.
I was raised as a roman catholic, and ive blindly follwed it for as long as i remember, until i saw kevin smith's(genuis, and a movie god) movie "DOGMA" . After seeing that movie i began questioning myself; "why do i belive this?","what do catholics belive", "what do I belive?". So i sat down and gathered my thoughts, i wrote down all my core belifes on a sheet of paper, then i pulled out the bible, i hour after hour, day after day, reading that "book". As i got futher through it i started to realize that this book contradicted everything i belived in. I felt disgusted in myself for blindly following something for this long, so thats wheni began my search for faith. for the next 3 or 4 years all i did was study religion, any religion u can name, i can tell u about a book i read on it, except for wicca. i always knew about it, but i was always afraid of it b/c of all the things i heard about it. But still i couldnt find the right faith, i tried some many of them but i could never feel like i fit in, i always had the bitter cold feeling down inside of me. But one day in barnes and noble, i saw a really spify book on Wicca and Witchcraft, so i realized i shouldnt be so closed minded and not base my opinions on the media, So i bought te book. When i got home i ran up to my room shut the door and began the one book that changed my life. As i began to read the Rede,the 13 goals of a witch, and just the core belifes, i began to feel the warth coming back into my soul. Everything written on those pages, was everything i have ever thought or belived in, i couldnt stop reading, i needed to know more, but half way through the book i just started to cry. i couldnt belive i finally found a religion where i felt i belonged, i felt amazing. For the next 5 months i would go out and buy a book, finish it, and buy another, ive spent about 2oo$ on books alone. And thats where i am now, i have embraced the Goddess and God and made many changes in my life to better please them and our mother earth(ex: im became a; vegetarian, animal rights activists, earth activists, and an over all more open minded person).
Well theres my story, thanks for sticking through all that rambling and ranting. Though i have been practicing Wicca for 5 months i still have not Dedicated myself!!! i know its crazy, but i need some ideas for a good location. i appricate any help u can give me. thanks.
