LOL thats funny! I guess it WAS meant to be! Well I don't dance naked under a full moon or anything :) I don't claim a religion, but identify with the teachings of Wicca. I'm a solitary and actually, I think a lot of the wiccan elite would frown upon my practice. I hardly ever cast circles, I have no pagan or otherwise diety's that I claim, etc. I seldom do spells but when I do, they are for protection of my self, my family or my house, or for some other like reason. Similar to praying really though I may light a candle and burn a certain incense. I like to work with herbs more than anything though still a novice at that, what with being in school, raising a three year old and another on the way, I don't make a lot of time for my studies. Um...lets see...I do have small celebrations on the pagan holidays, but we celebrate the christian ones too. For example, we colored eggs this year the sunday before easter for Ostara but the easter bunny still came on easter. And if someone I know is having a hard time, such as some do in one of the wiccan LJ communities I belong to, I will light a candle for them just to keep them in my thoughts. And they have done the same for me, for example I think the last time I asked for help was on my way to my first prenatal visit. I had suffered three miscarriages and really wanted some support from anywhere I could get it, because I was terrified that nothing would show on the first ultra sound, or that there would be no heartbeat. And I have to say, I felt them all with me when I went, as well as the prayers from my family. I guess that's about it. I don't believe in Satan, or the christain god, but I respect and support my friends who do. It's hard to explain what I believe in, it's more of a creative force with half being male and half female (god and goddess, most say) I believe in the good and evil in everyone. I'm a believer in ghosts and all that jazz. I'm glad you aren't afraid to expand your horizons!
