Hi,
I just turned 31 (Friday was my B-day) :fpartyman I think, right before 31, I finally found myself. I am still working on it, but things are going well. I have been studying about Wicca and am very drawn to it. Not really for the magick (although I find this interesting) but because it allows me to be a very strong person. I have found Wicca by accident, through attending a pagan book club who are extremely inclusive and friendly to the non-pagan/Wiccan. I felt guilty at first (I knew nothing about Wicca besides "WITCH!") because it held a negative stereotype. Then I started educating myself, and it fits me. Maybe my reasons are selfish, but for the first time in my life, I feel the need to be selfish! I love the empowerment of Wicca, the meditation and "finding one's self." I know I can do this other ways, but this is the one that is drawing me like a magnet! I feel I can not get enough, read enough, think enough, journal enough... and I really like it :heybaby: :yayhawaii
Studying Wicca had made me realize I do not need to please everyone, and this is good to know. I am actually speaking up for myself and it feels GREAT. Does this sound crazy, like an odd side-effect to medication? *lol* I will enjoy owning my spirituality, instead of simply being "religious."
It will be great talking with you all.

PS-- How can I get one of those cool picture blinky banner things? :dancy:
