My beliefs? |

| I decided to write this blog because I consider myself to be a Wiccan, through; I know some of my beliefs are not widespread even in Wicca. Some books in the Wiccan religion are the same on the beliefs and rituals in Wicca but most are extremely different in there perception of the occult. This I look at as chaotic. If Christians can have the Bible and Muslims the Quran, then why can’t all wiccans join together and make one book the presiding book. In my train of thought this would go a long way in making non Wiccans see our religion as up there with Christianity and Judaism as a leading religion in world. Am I saying I know what book this should be or that this blog is the answer? No. I’m just giving my beliefs of the faith and showing how different the beliefs can be. As I was putting this blog together in my head a situation happened in my life that made me believe that this abominable situation needed to come to light. I was at home with my children in Washington, were I just recently moved from Ohio, when there was a knock at my door. It was mid-afternoon at the time and I was just about ready to struggle with my infant son over the baby food that I knew would be a war getting him to ingest. Opening the door in my disheveled state I see a young woman of Hispanic decent standing on my doorstep with a stack of books in her hands. My first thought was that she couldn’t possibly mistake my quant house for her college. Of course like all people do, I was mistaken for the teenager of the house. Once we righted that problem, she asked me if I would like to buy one of her books to help her way through college. I’m always willing to help a cause so I listened to her go on about the books. When I realized that besides the cookbook she had to sell the rest were Christian based, I stopped her and told her that I wasn’t a Christian. She asked me if I read the bible I told her it was a nice story but that was all it was to me. What gets me in this whole story is when she asked me what religion I called my own and I said Wiccan, she looked at me dumbfounded and said, “I’ve never heard of that religion.” It left me speechless and that’s when I realized we need a more organized religion. Right now, I know many people are pulling away from the word “organized” and I understand. Many wiccans, like me, are solitary witches. The only guideline every Wiccan worth their salt studies the same is the “Wiccan Rede”. Other than that we might come together on internet forums to make sure that were not the only ones out there but at any given time there are twenty people in a Wiccan chat room and all have different beliefs. When I say “organized” religion all I mean is a religion that has a presiding book that all Wiccans follow and an established house of worship. If Mormons can have a temple in Utah then I believe Wiccans can have a house of worship in at least one state if not all the states. This blog is not going to have anything about rituals, making an altar or establishing a coven. This blog is just what my beliefs of Wiccan are. These beliefs are my own and I’m not pushing them on anyone who deems what I write worthy to read, but I feel we must start somewhere in establishing a religion for ourselves. The most important foundation of any religion is about their beliefs. What does a Wiccan believe about death, suicide, natural disasters, ones purpose in life, etc? This is what this blog is going to deal with. Many of my beliefs I learned through experiences in my life but others I feel I knew sense I could complete a thought. I know my beliefs are true through my entire being, my heart, and more importantly my soul. I write this to get you as a human being thinking about what your own beliefs are and maybe giving you some beliefs to ponder over. |
