My path to Wiccan came about as a result of my recovery from alcoholism. I was actively involved in the A.A. program, working the 12 Steps and so forth and wanted to increase my spiritual growth. I felt a need to have God in my life.
At that time (7 years ago) I did not believe in the Christain conception of God because of all the evil acts committed in the name of their God and by their God, and because of numerous contradictions found in the Bible. So going back to church was out of the question. Nor did I believein the Gods of any other religion.
Strangely enough my journey lead me to the Jehovah's Witnesses! For one year I studied with the brothers and sisters. They had me convinced that if there is one true religion their's is it. But doubts began to set in. I started to question why they took orders from the Watch Tower Society and believed everything the W.T.S. said in spite of the fact that they had frequently been dead wrong on numerous occasions and even contradicted themselves. Plus my historical research & things learned in college history classes told me that since birth, I had been brain washed into believing a lie. The lie being that Christianity is the oldest religion and the reason it dominates the earth is because it is The Truth. History told me that superior military technology is the real reason it took over and the oppression of all other faiths is why it has stayed.
Then one day while browsing in a book store I came across Cunnighams book, "Wicca: A Guide For the Solitary Practitioner". I was hooked and read every book that I could find on the subject. Today I believe that God/Goddess is out there and it is not what you believe about him/her but how you live your life that is important. "An' it harm none...." Blessed be!
Oh, if you feel that you must try to convert me to save my soul please just let me alone. :)
