So you want to be a Pagan? What is a Pagan?- They are the motorcycle group that once a year will bring stuff animals to the Children's Hospital. Brrrrr! lol!
Sometimes when you started looking for a pathway to believe you must understand yourself because a pathway is a way of seeing the world. As pagan we see the world through the eyes of mother-Mother Nature that is! We understand the world, spiritual world and out world have two strong points of good and evil But our way of see them is different then other people.that is almost one main reason why we follow the rite strongly. The rite is as simple as treating all people the way you want to be treat and effects of Karma. The law of 3 in other words whatever we do will come back to us in 3's. So before you plan on doing a revenge spell or a love spell stop and thing what are the 3 coming back at you good or bone. There are some very strange things being put out there about Pagans which are total wrong.
When I first thought of this pathway and sat down and answer these questions
- What is in side your house you are in tune with? Now this would be more simple if you did not have to have white walls or nothing to your name. but look around and write down the item and put why you are in tune with it?
- Think of Nature and write what you feel about nature? do you like being out side-ete
- Okay now what scary you/ list all things that scary you .
get up go out side and hug a tree- yes I meen hug a tree like you would hug your mom! Before you hug the tree say" Mr Tree I want to hug you" wait did you just feel the tree saying okay to you. Then hug the tree- what do you feel-write that down
Now after you write all that down read it. Keep it! mail it to yourself!
My Friend who is a Buddhist told me that somethings the pathway choose you and will come to you in many different ways. So sometimes just looking around at things that come into your life like Animals, flowers and Goddess. She said that she follows that teaching of Buddha but know that in seeking enlightenment you must go beyond your self. She will tell that something about being Buddhist is knowing of the God or Goddess in your life because you seek enlightenment.
A lot of my Pagan friends have said that the God or Goddess they follow appear to them. So that is one reason for the above exercise is to open up your eyes.
There are two main ways of understanding this Pathway. They are study-read all you can and talk to people who walk this way. The second is from experiencing
Now Understand this the Pagan way has no set in clay way of believing but I can tell most all of my friends hold to doing good to people, animals and to things because they donot want bone to be return to them. The word Bone means bad,very bad and oh no really really bad because every thing you do comes back in 3's..
To started learn you must seek out books you can get from book stores or library. The ones I started with was Scott Cutthingham. His books are like take small steps to understand the beginning of Wicca. I also read Uncle Buckman's book called the complete book of witchcrafts. I always wonder what Buckman thinks about being called uncle!
Okay as for experiencing well try to do some of the things you read about.
One last thing when you are there hug the tree, look around and see if you can find a stone that is in tune with you for assignment later.
Blessbe!
