I have been christian all my life. I have been taught all the "don't" and "do's". I have been scared out of asking the "why's" and trained in hiding from the "witch's". But I guess with time and maturity you want to look for understanding.
I have been told by serval different mediums that I am very spritual, but with christianity I do not see that. I have had my fortune done, numbers done, astrology done, and all have said the same thing...but I can not see it, some times I feel it (if that makes sense?!)
I am sure that you have had alot of Chirstian's challenge you and that is not my intent, so please do not take this as another chirstian pushing their beliefs. While I do believe in God and that goes with that, I feel that there is more out there. That there is somehting else that I belong with but I do not know what it is.....
Ok now that I am sounding cazy, even to myself. I will ask my question. What is Wicca? (I know what I have been told by the church but what is it to you?) How do you know that you belong? What all is involved with Wicca? and finally Is it something that can call you?

Dear Anonymous~ I believe that while Wicca may not 'call' someone, our hearts and our minds may search for something that makes more sense. I spent 26+ years of my life living a 'Christian' life. I didn't really want for anything as a child, and was actually pretty spoiled. I should have been happy, according the church elders that I spoke with. However,I was sad and lonely. No matter where I was, or what I did, I always felt as if something was missing. Then, I was at one of our local parks and there was an open gathering. I starting talking to people, and new I had found the answers I was looking for. Witches do nothing to harm anything. If our religion isn't for you, then that's just fine by us. (I could go on and on.) I wake up and am glad to be alive. I enjoy life so much more than ever before. It sounds like you have a definate interest in Wicca. The only way to find answers is to keep looking. Wicca is a very serious religion. We worship the moon and the sun. The Lord and The Lady. By many names. Wicca for me is so natural that sometimes it is almost unbelievable. You might try looking into many of the web sites. Witchvox.com is always a good one to start with. Or, my never changing suggestion, look up Metaphysical in you local yellow pages. Some are book stores, some are just stores. There will be someone there willing to answer questions and maybe show you where to look to network. LOVE & LIGHT
