We all come from the goddess

Well, I don't suppose this is really a shock to anyone who knows me (outside of work, where discussion on religion and politics is das verboten, particularly if you're not a conservative Christian Republican :)) but I've been researching and studying the pagan path for the last few months, and in sympathy with the pagan viewpoint for years longer.

What does this mean? Well, in addition to all my other hats---wife, mother, daughter, friend---I can soon add "witch" to the mix. And I'm comfortable with that. I don't cast spells (yet.) I don't know what I'm doing, still being new to things, and I suspect it'll be several more months before I feel comfortable casting. But I find great comfort in acknowledging the presence of a goddess as well as a god, in honoring the earth and nature as our mother. (Why else call her "Mother Nature," eh?)

So here's what I believe. We each have a duty to deal kindly and fairly with each other, to the extent that it's possible. (Some people are just hell-bent on being impossible, after all.) We each have a right to our own beliefs, or lack thereof. And we all receive back what we send, so be careful what you do or ask for, because karma is a bitch who loves to strike when you're not expecting it. And she'll always find a way to get you---if not now, then later. And if there is a hell, we create in in this life, by our own actions.

So that's me. Wife, mother, daughter, friend and witch in training. :)

Blessed be. ) O (

About Me

My photo
Wife, mom of a preemie, follower of the old ways, lover of anything Irish or Celtic, history buff, trivia nut, Star Trek and Ren Faire geek and costuming fiend. Offer me coffee or chocolate and world peace is assured. Or at least I'll try really hard. :) I also believe in deleting spam. So, to the person or persons who keep leaving me comments in Chinese (along with links to what I can clearly tell are Chinese porn sites) stop it. It's bad karma, to say nothing of being really, really rude.
