"When one defines oneself as Pagan, it means she or he follows an Earth or Nature religion, one that sees the divine manifest in all creation. The cycles of Nature are our holy days, the Earth is out temple, its plants and creatures our partners and teachers. We worship a deity that is both male and female, a mother Goddess and father God, who together created all that is, was, or will be. We respect life, cherish the free will of sentient beings, and accept the sacredness of all creation." ~Edain McCoy

Witch Crafting

I got a book from a really good friend of mine and I have just started it but I simply love how she describes Wicca:

"Wicca requires us, and inspires us to bravely acknowledge the shadow self (our fears, inhibition, conflicts, neuroses, and destructive patterns) and to learn from it, rather than repress it. It is a religion of joy not punishment, love not fear, practice not belief. It's a personal path of self-exploration, growth, and responsibility, helping us to understand that our lives are spiritual journeys, and providing a genuine and intimate experience of the Divine."

She goes on to write exactly what I have been thinking for years!! "Wicca directly addresses things I've known since I was a child, that the Divine is present in Nature and its cycles, that it also dwells within us, and the power of love is magical."

And just think that is only in the introduction. I will continue to update you as I read this book. If you want to read it too, it is called Witch Crafting by Phyllis Curott.

Blessed Be
