In 2004 my husband and I took a trip to Belfast, Maine. While we where there I felt that I belonged there. When we came back home I decided that I needed to find myself, so to speak. But it is hard when there are no one to talk too.

Around two years ago I was thirsty for a good book and was browsing the teen non-fiction and came across a guided teenage witch book. I felt an immediate tug at my chest, but ignored it as I was a Christian and felt guilty. Instead, I picked up the House of Night series, which incorporates a lot of Wiccan influences into the plot and layout. Just reading about the practices made a spark in me, and I soon began focusing on my own psychic gifts and often was guided back to books centering around Pagan or Wiccan beliefs and systems. I chose to again ignore the call, the tug in my chest toward the God and Goddess, and instead burried myself deaper into Christianity, and became more intent on becoming closer. One night, after coming to a point where I found that I was coming to a very high influence of paganism and wicca in my life, and that it was time to make a decision. I came to a very sudden ultimadum: choose wicca/paganism or choose christianity.

I chose paganism/wicca, and my spirit nearly leaped out of my body! I was inwardly ecstatic! I new immediatly which Goddess called to me the most -- Nyx, and I could feel my heart swell within myself. I've been depressed for many years, and for most of that time it felt like I was literally empty, but at that moment I finally felt full. 

Right now I'm still training. I'm solitary, so I study by myself, although if I could find a long distance mentor I would be very happy, as they would hopefully keep me on task. 

I worship the Lord and the Lady, which for me is Goddess Nyx and her consort, the God Erebus. I am content with this pair, although I may honor others on different days. I believe that there is only one pair, the God and Goddess, the Lord and Lady, and they make up one All. They just happen to have may faces, and the ones that I am most attracted to happen to center around mainly night. I do honor the balance between dark and light, but I do find myself more in the night. I'm hoping to connect more with them as I grow in my spirituality.^^

 

Blessed Be.

I was actually previously praying to the Christian God for a very long time for some sort of knowledge of a "lover" and if they were safe, or at least if they were alive, because I had absolutely no way of contact with them. I got nothing, until the night where I said a Goddess prayer out loud and fell asleep with my heart full of love. That night I had a full day with my "lover", so to speak. The dream was set in the day, I felt the Goddess beside me guiding me through places that I was familiar and comfortable with, and then I met with my "lover", and it felt like I reconnected a little with them. I was so, so, SO thankful for it. I took that as acceptance from Her.

Hello, my name is Candice but generally I go by Cecilia on a lot of sites. I started down the Wiccan path when I was in Highschool. I had no teachers at the time and I was 1 of 4 wiccan students at my highschool. So I started my wiccan study's there but due to an abusive boyfriend at the time (details of that not for here nor do i wish to talk about) i lost a lot of my studies at the time. Now that I have found some friends in real life that will teach me when I have questions, I am starting them over. I now have the path of the Druids I plan to follow. 

This is my brief story. Blessed be all my brothers and Sisters of Wicca

i chose this path from first being a roman catholic but once i started to get older the more and more i found myself at ods with what the were sayen as in if the catholics are so dam close to jessus the king of love why would they comit so much harm. and i saw that the priests had no idea what they were talking about when asked they toed the party line.  i am/was into sci fi like space people and such then i started to get into ancient caltures first greece then once i found out what they did with diabled people i didn't like them any more (I am visualy challanged) now i love ancient egypt/kem and i found i like Thoth and shesheta the male and female aspect of knowledge.  i figgur that the world is fucked and not enough people are spirtual at all and that is a far cry from what we had once.  its a shame if humanity realy grew spirtualy we would truly advance.
