Many think Paganism is a kind of unorthodox worship.
But think,
people from ancient times worship the very land they walk on.
the trees, rocks, rivers and even fire…
No offence to Christianity and Catholicism,
but I would think that ever since the power struggle long ago,
people have been brainwashed into believing that worshipping nature,
and using the powers of nature is badddd…
You’ve heard of Christians banning Harry Potter from their reading list,
you’ve heard of them not allowed to meditate,
and get in contact with things like Tarot cards,
and you’ve heard of the Salem Witch Trials…
Christianity has had a “violent” past I would say.
How can you be sure that what you read now,
after centuries of revisions and upheavals has not been rephrased,
or have been changed due to biasedness?
I am no observer of rules,
and the “Thou Shalt Not…” stuff I seriously do not comprehend.
Dear Raisins and the rest who are reading this,
no offence to your beliefs but I do not see it as what I can follow,
that is all.
Just flooding my thoughts about religion laaahh… ;p
I don’t mean I am going to practise witchcraft,
but worshipping a goddess of skill and inspiration and other things,
for peace, love and harmony, couldn’t be a bad thing isn’t it.
Since secondary school,
I have been occasionally reading about paganism and stuff,
and I seriously am drawn to goddess worship,
not because of a certain TV show or things like that.
And Da Vinci’s Code did touch me in a certain way…
Dumb to follow the thoughts of a book,
but I am rather convinced by the ideas expressed in it really…
I believe there’s a Ying to Yang to everything.
With every light side, there is always a dark side.
Just look at the moon.
So I am trying to seek balance in myself now.
I am new to this, but I think spiritually,
I am in barren land.
I have never been a spiritual person.
Never encountered funny sightings or feelings…
Or witness any miracles or felt the “calling”…
I was telling others,
I am losing myself to… myself.
I cannot control my emotions and thoughts anymore.
I am driving myself crazy with the voices in my head…
People told me I need therapy…
I guess so too.
I am seeking spiritual therapy now.
I seek inner peace, and strength.
To harness my abilities and do some good for others and especially myself.
I seek not to fear, not to hide, not to hate.
I know I don’t sound like me now.
But I am trying to bring something into my life.
That will hopefully, make me a better, stronger, wiser person.
Thanks Ludo for offering me some insight and guidance.
