After being directed here by an acquaintance of mine, I was thrilled to find such a wonderful community of like minded thinkers. _pounce_
I hope you folks will allow me to make myself a little "home" here and share my experiences with you while I learn from yours.
Some history...
Nearing the big 30 mark, I've been searching for my true "spiritual" home for all of my life. Born into a Southern Baptist family, I was once a every Sunday church goer, but soon after entering my teens I realized that while I deeply enjoyed the spirituality of going to church...but not so much some of the message the pastors were trying to convey upon us. Mainly that anyone else who did not follow "our" path was doomed to an eternity of darkness. So I did some soul searching and tried to follow the Wiccan path for awhile and which I did for many years into my early 20's. Then the mundane aspect of life took over and I fell out of practice, leaving my spiritual life on the way side.
So two years ago I felt my soul calling to me again to get back in touch with myself and I tried Catholicism. I deeply respect Catholicism in that they recognize the angels, saints and of course Mary so very profoundly. But after attending a few masses and speaking with a Sister about joining, I was informed that I could not join due to my living situation at the time. Needless to say I felt betrayed and heart broken.
So here I am now, doing my best to find my path. I believe in many things, most of all love and respect for my fellow man. I believe in God and Goddess and lesser deities, angels and spirits. I am not sure what "label" I fall under right now or if a label suits me at all.
I look forward to finding out. :weirdsmil
