JOURNAL ENTRIES
Well, it seems as though I am learning alot, just through my studies on the internet. So many sites out there that have to do with Wiccan and Pagan Studies and it frustrates me that I can't seem to get to them all. I have really been studying in my "21st Century Wicca" alot when I am not online, too.The ArkPagans list that I subscribe to is really making me feel good about this chosen path. So many times I went into a "Christian" church and felt like I was being judged on what I was or wasn't wearing, etc. It seems to me, even at this early date, that most everyone I am meeting through my Wiccan studies is kind and generous and glad to help. What a different feeling than religion has felt to me in the past.
I am also learning about herbs and their powers. So many of the things that I am finding out, it feels that I already knew were true and it is good to get these feelings validated. I have always felt an afinity for certain stones and now I find that those stones (Arkansas Quartz Crystals, Tiger Eye, Moonstone, Rose Quartz especially) all have different energies and powers. It looks like it is time to head for HotSprings and go on a Crystal dig......
Well, I never said that journal entries would ever be more than sporatic ramblings of mine, so...Here I am again.I thought of something the other day and it has run through my head a million times since then. How come it is perfectly normal to beleive that there is an infinite being (sitting somewhere in the clouds?) who impregnated a virgin who, then, gave birth to that infinite beings son. Then, this son of the virgin and the holy deity in the sky, died and arose from the dead three days later. BUT it is seen by the "mainstream" as cultish that I beleive in the power of the universe and the hold the Mother Earth and all of her creatures as sacred? Hmmm....just doesn't make sense to me. Makes me wonder about society in general.
These thoughts of mine also remind me of a quote (indulge me here for a moment, OK?):
"If you talk to God, you are praying.
If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia."
~~Joseph Szanz~~
Ponder that one for a while...I know I have.
