Your thoughts on my religion?

Question

I am a Wiccan witch. I follow an eclectic path. And I work as a solitary. I believe in a Goddess as well as a God, and I believe magick works. Don't get into the spelling of magick argument, that's not what I'm here for. Don't try to convert me either, I am happy with my religion. You can tell me I'm too young to decide on a religion, but I don't think you're too young to if you can understand the religion. I feel right following this path, and if I find one that makes me feel happier, than I will probably choose that path. Until then, your thoughts on my religion? Thank you for your time.
Blessed be,

Oh, sorry. I only asked this question to learn. I wanted to see what other people thought, that's all. I want to see other people's views of it. I'm not trying to pick a fight with anyone, I just want to know.

Answer 2

Merry meet. You are not the only one happy with Wicca. I am a solitary as well, and I have never been happier with my own spiritual beliefs than I have been in the last few years. I in no way think that you are too young or immature to be happy with this path. I myself was only in high school when I realized it was for me.

But it feels like I have been part of this religion for far longer. The natural world has always been more alive to me than to anyone else. I see a spirit and a soul in every living thing. And I feel one with the Mother. She has been there for me when I felt most alone, And since that time, I have never been alone since.

You have joined the traditions of one of the oldest known religions on Earth. People were following the Goddess long before any other major religion was formed. For that, many of us are scorned upon because of what the Roman Church did to the image of the Goddess in the late Dark Ages. It made her evil and her symbols the sign of the devil. They used propaganda of forgive me for saying bull ****, to make everyone believe that the Goddess and those that prayed to her were actually the followers of the devil.

Ridiculous.

Be proud and happy of who you are and what you believe in. There will always be those people that try to convince you you are wrong and should "come back to the light". But to us, She is the light. She and the God together. Let no one make you stopping believing in it. And if you ever doubt yourself...go a place where you are only surrounded by her powers, wherever that is. A secluded spot in nature always does it for me. Or perhaps where you intiated yourself...whereever that was. If you didn't intiate yourself, I would do so...you feel the powers of nature and her energies like never before.

Anyway...I am rambling...

Blessed Be.

I respect Wicca, and I believe it contains many important truths. I love the focus on womanhood. I think Wicca fulfills an aspect of the lives of many women today, that is lacking in some other religions. I am LDS (Mormon), and I also believe in a God and Goddess (Heavenly Father and Mother) and find great joy and fulfillment in being a woman.

I found that my feelings about the roles of women (eg maid, mother and hag) are very similar to those of my Wiccan friend. She worshiped the Goddess during the years when she was gestating and giving birth to her three children. Giving birth was a very sacred experience for her, as it is for me.

Added: As a nutritionist, I believe that it is hard to get adequate nutrition on a vegan diet. After a couple of years as a vegan, B12 deficiency (with resultant anaemia) often occurs. However, this is not completely inevitable if you are really knowledgeable and disciplined with your diet.... I notice, though, that most teenagers I know who were vegetarian/vegan, eventually became more relaxed about it ... even my Wiccan friend did.

Blessed be!

Answer 4

I think your religions is a kind one. You aren't taught to hate, and you are taught that every life has meaning and has the right to be there. It's earth-based, and I love that about Wiccans. The ones I've met have all been kind and accepting.

And I'm glad you don't let others dictate what path you follow-- you may be young but you're more mature than a lot of the adults on here.

Answer 5

What thoughts do you want if you list all the things you don't want?

I am a Christian. I use herbs and minerals for healing. My Bible supports the use of herbs for healing. I use prayer which ultimately works. I'm happier with my religion now than I used to be. I believe that God is my Father; and I also believe that the Earth is my Mother; and I also believe that God doesn't have illegitimate children. I believe I have responsibilities to both Father and Mother, but I don't work worship the Mother, while I do worship the Father.

My thoughts on your religion? I don't know.

Answer 6

I have known of Wicca and magick for some time now. That was when it wasn't quite as trendy or popular as it seems today, especially from what I have noticed here at R&S...

I say that with a tongue-in-cheek because I once knew *someone* who was into it with some of her *friends* and there weren't that many covens then, from what I gathered... We were young and restless. And it was fun times.

So, are you a total Vegan? As in no leather shoes, sandals, or belts? LOL.

Peace be with you.

Answer 7

While I'm a Witch right up there with you, I think that you know perfectly well how most people generally feel about Paganism.
And even though I'm your sister through the Goddess,... this question does have a taste of attention-grabbiness to it.
So i'm calling you on it. Quit being so attention-grabby.

Answer 8

honestly, it sounds to me like your religion is not that different in the main principles from msot other major religions. are you treating people with oove, resepct, and kindness? 10 points for you!

if the religion feels right you to and doesn't harm other living creatures, why should it matter what I think of it anyway? it's right for you, no one will change your mind, congratulations on having faith.

also, congrats on having a healthy attitude towards being able to change your mind whenever something more logical or better suited to you comes along.

Answer 9

It's an interesting religion. I'm cool with people being wiccan. However, it seems a bit like you are trying too hard by asking this question. I don't know you, so I could be entirely wrong, but it seems like you just posted this so people could say bad things about your religion and you could argue with them. And don't get me wrong, I like a good debate too. Just don't be so obvious and in-your-face about it.

Answer 10

I am not a Wiccan, but you must choose your own path. It sounds as if you're taking steps toward that. Leave yourself open to discovery and ongoing spiritual development. Ultimately, my (or anybody else's) opinion of your religion is irrelevant.

Answer 11

Your religion is totally your business. That's why we have a 1st Amendment to the Constitution that emphatically states that we have freedom of religion. As long as that religion does not include harm to others, it's perfectly fine. We should all be tolerant of people's beliefs as long as they do not hurt other people.
