Mine has been a long and varied trip through religion and spirituality. No matter what ‘religion’ I tried, I was never satisfied. Each had it’s own rules which didn’t sit well with me. Eventually I made my own path to Spirit, and that’s when true peace began. I was raised as a Protestant Christian, and later converted to Catholicism. When the beauty of ritual pomp and circumstance had passed, and I was again unsatisfied, I began studying the bible and various books on Christianity, until I studied my way out of the church. I realized that today’s so called christian church was a man-made religion, and I wanted something authentic.
That’s when I was introduced to Paganism. A friend knew I was searching for something, and invited me to a Samhain ritual. Having no knowledge of pagans at all, I decided why not! At first I was a bit unsure, since it was so completely different from how I had been raised. What if I was going to go to hell for this? But I had already decided I thought hell was bogus, so what was there to be scared of? So began my journey of studying pagan traditions, including wicca. It suited me well for many years, while studying on my own. When I decided to branch out and join a wiccan coven, is when I realized I was right back where I started….a man-made religion with too many rules.
Next came a brief study period of the Jewish church. Again, too many rules. Then came Hindu….uh, no….too complicated. Next came Buddhism. I think we have a winner! No man made rules, nothing complicated, just me, a quiet place, and peace. Peace and my own path to Spirit. Who could ask for more?
