My path has meandered considerably since my last posting here. Unfortunately it has taken me away from the spiritual side of life somewhat and in turn away from HP.
I have regained my interest in reading of late and this has re-awakened my need to follow the Wiccan path.
I decided to re-read this thread and to my surprise found some posts which I had not read. My heartfelt thanks to all that have replied. All the reading I have done of late has given me as many new questions as answers, now after reading these posts both old and new I feel I finally know my path, or at least my next step. So Thank you again, I'm sure my journey will keep me closer to HP from now on.
Bright Blessings to all! 🙂
I have always struggled do identify with religions because of worship to Gods and to some extent Goddesses. I just find it hard to accept that there is someone sitting up there controlling everything we say and do. I have always been interested in wicca/witchcraft but again there is worship to the god and goddess. I have looked into spiritualism because that seemed close but after spending time at spiritualist churches I felt just the same as in any other church (a fraud). My beliefs are that we are all spirit and all interconnected and while there are different tiers so to speak I just cannot bring myself to worship them, it just feels wrong. After being a member of this forumn for a little while now I am finding more and more that I need to give myself a label of some kind for me as much as anyone else. And I am leaning very much toward Paganism and especially Wicca/witchcraft. I keep being guided towards nature and the moon, I love all aspects of nature (even those which I'm terrified of like spiders). I love all weather and feel deeply emotionally connected to it especially rain and storms.
I feel I need some guidance on how to proceed and please don't direct me to the sticky threads because I have read and re-read the weblinks suggested. Although I haven't read all the books recommended I have read some by suggested authors as well as many others and I am read out. Please could someone recommend something that is a little less Deity related or at least in the worshipping sense. I know a lot of this has been mentioned before I have also spent a lot of time reading past threads and still feel baffled. I know it takes time but I have been trying to find these answers for years now. If you can't reccomend any books please could you suggest some exercises to find the answers elsewhere or maybe recommend another path that fits better.
Thankyou for reading my rather long post and thankyou in advance for your replies.
P.S. Also not strictly connected but what does 'amp' mean I keep seeing it and it's been driving me crazy.
Much Love & Light
