Faith

I have been struggling a lot for awhile now with my faith. I have had Christianity in various forms force-fed to me my whole life, and it really didn't feel right. I tried, mainly for the sake of my family and friends. To be honest with you, that's not a good enough reason to believe in something, to invest so much of yourself into.

I started to question my religion a few years ago now, and I've felt kind of lost ever since. Well, really I felt a bit lost before that too. I read books, essays, the Bible, talked to many people... and nothing. I felt nothing.

Then I read something about Celtic Reconstructionism, and it somehow just resonated with me. I don't pretend to know everything about the Goddess Journey or Druidism, or even Wicca, but I do know that most people's journeys on the pagan path are unique and personal. This just felt like I should look into it more.

This isn't something I'm taking lightly, believe me. My family and most of my friends probably won't accept it either. Faith is a very personal aspect of one's life, but in my experience what I believe in is only ok if it is considered to be in line with Christianity.

I have nothing against Christianity or any other religion, all I know is that they didn't resonate with me. Instead I've chosen to explore a more personal and unique Goddess-centered belief, and I may end up being ostracized for it.

Accepting and acknowledging my faith is freedom, even if it comes at a cost.

And I won't force my beliefs on anyone.
