Merry meet!
I hope this post finds you all of good health and blessings. I stumbled upon the witchvox site in my search to maybe find others close to my own nature/beliefs near me. You see, I'm a mutt of many beliefs from organized and non organized religions, faiths, morals and values. I was originally brought up in the Lutheran Church but, it never felt quite right. I do hold Jesus dear but many of the old testament I cannot agree or honor. For a long time I was angry and upset that I didn't understand or relate to othes views and opinions. I was quite the loner growing up and stuck to my passion for animals instead of social ocwardness. My grandmother was a shaman of the Oglala Sioux heritage and she tried to teach me as much as she could about traditions, rites and rituals of the tribe in the short time she had left in this world, she could teach me anything and I'd understand! However it was after her death and many years of genealogy research that I found out many of my ancestors were of Ireland wicca/pagan blood. I am curious about everything due to my given Aquarius nature and have tried as I may to grasp the concepts and understandings of paganism and the art of witchcraft.. without much success. I'm as my grandmother put it an unique learning vessel. I love to learn and grow but, I need visual cues and hands on experience for my mind to grasp the knowledge. I've hidden behind a wall so to speak for a long time because of my father, although he wasn't prejudice against my sexual orientation of lesbian he was not a man of any other religion else but, Jesus. He passed as a great man, friend, veteran, father, grandfather and hero last October. Since then the inner notion to find other pagans and really learn about why I feel so compelled to the religion, lifestyle, traditions, rituals and gatherings... to know more and find myself, my place among others is so strong... I'm finally reaching out for help, I asked the spirits to guide me to find others and, I found this group. I hope that maybe by reaching out... I can finally start understanding and knowing why I feel as I do, and maybe even more...
