Your Path- None can Choose for You

The purpose of any religion is to foster some sort of explanation of the world around us and the Absolute Truth that permeates it all. What you do with that, though, is up to you and what makes the difference.

Paganism is just another explanation of why, how come, and what. And we all have different answers to those questions based upon our own personal experiences within this path.

Every action, every experience changes you and brings you greater insights into yourself and the world around; "as above, so below; as within, so without." As such, your path will be different from every other Wiccan/Pagan/Witch/magickal practitioner/whatever that you meet, and that is exactly as it should be.

You see, we could each do the same ritual on our own. I could find the entire ritual very moving and life changing, where as it could do nothing for you because your personal life experience has rendered the point of that ritual useless to you. Maybe you don't have those aspects of self that need to be confronted; perhaps the energies called forth didn't resonate with you, etc. We each come to this path bringing different life experiences and different expectations and we will each get something different out of it. This, too, is the same with any religion and is exactly as it should be. That's why it's called your path.

No one can offer you a tailored path. You have to do the work for yourself, you have to listen to that voice inside you and see where it guides you. Intuition is a great gift and ally. The path of the Witch is one of great personal change and responsibility; it requires strength, commitment, and humility. So, take a deep breath, hold your head up high, and know as you take those first few steps that though your path may ramble about, taking you to unexpected places, in the end, you are exactly where you belong: on your path.
