Wicca to me is a religion
of love and healing, and
I try to live that daily."
"From my faith,
I know that my body is sacred.
That my mind is also sacred.
That sex is not sinful...
That I live now, but I will grow old
(if the Fates will it)
and I will eventually die.
I am no longer afraid of death,
and before...it really
bothered me to think of dying.
There are so many little things
that have changed in my life.
"Goddess spirituality puts a face
upon the Divine that I can connect with,
and consequently through that connection
I have become closer to God as well.
Not that 'bearded white man in the sky,'
but the Green Man,
and God of the Woods.
I feel connected to the Earth,
even more so than I did before.
"I feel a certain calmness
since I found out my faith had a name,
and there were others
who believed the same thing.
"My Goddess and God love me for who I am,
no strings attached.
They loved me even before
I found them in my heart."
"Becoming Wiccan has let me trust
in myself and the wisdom within me.
I can now feel the goddess in me,
which brings a confidence
I'd never dreamed of.
I am equal to everyone.
Some may have more learning,
more experience,
but I always know that
I'm just as important as them.
I'm afraid of no one.
It feels great! |
