Paganism - Dystini style
You may remember hearing about my big move a few months back (if not, I had a big move a few months back). I now live in North Carolina, a place I have been trying to get to for 5 years. I had always thought of NC as a place where I would be happy and all my dreams would come true. Well, I am now happier than I have ever been and my dreams...they're working on it. For one, I'm starting my own jewelery design and sales business. But the best part is that after many years of searching I have finally found my religion. I am a Celtic Witch. What does that mean? I take my beliefs from many religions and belief systems. I have Christmas but I believe more in the spirit of love and peace associated with it. I "worship" nature - the beauty, the creatures the spirit of it all. I take a lot of my beliefs from the Celts and Druids (hence, Celtic). I also believe in magic and fantasy (hence, Witch).I can take a walk, see a beautiful view and stop to admire it and that is my "worship". When I stop to say "Oh, that's beautiful!" that's a prayer. The whole outdoors is my church. There are no rules to my religion except this: Treat others as you would be treated. Do no harm except in self-defense or for food. Respect the rights of others, be they human, animal, plant or an idiot. (You can bitch about idiots, just not where they can hear!)
You see, I don't like the formality, rules and restrictions of all the faiths I've looked at. I'm a free spirit. I need to be able to follow my path wherever it may take me.
A bit of advise for everyone. Stop for a moment and take a look at your beliefs. Do they still feel right for you? Or do you follow them because it's expected of you? If you feel they aren't right, maybe you should take a look at different religions and see if something else is right for you. Now, I'm not trying to convert you to my beliefs. In fact, mine is rather personalized and specialized to me. But the idea of it (taking the best out of many religions) may work for you. I guess my message here is, above all, remain open-minded, open-hearted and have respect for nature and it's creatures.
Would you like to know more about my beliefs?
