* land, sea & sky*
*sometimes i find myself analysing my path*
and this is something i touched on in an earlier post
i cannot remember a time when i was not a pagan, or at least had those early formed ideas of believing something different from what was told to me at school, from what others believed.
over the years my path has changed and developed in subtle ways, i imagine many people have this change, and my thoughts have developed and i have read more, delved deeper.
i wonder...what should i call myself?
but
why do i need to give myself a name i wonder?
a label?
a sense of belonging?
but i am solitary and always have been so why?
*i think this comes in part form a forum i belong to where i have found how very different my path is to others*
i have no concept of the worship of 'the goddess',
that the goddesses and gods are part of a monotheistic entity
i do not follow the eight-fold wheel of the year~i focus on the four main festivals while being aware that the ancestors, for whatever reason, found significance in the solstice and equinox
i do not cast circles or use tools in ceremonial magic with the four elements
*following a pagan path is a funny old thing*
but from my involvement in the stonewylde forum its good to see the differing paths joining in harmony with respect

hmm.. I think it's because ancestraly speaking, we are a tribal people. We like to belong, even if we consider ourselves solitary. Have you ventured into The Druid Network? I think you might find some like minded people there. www.druidnetwork.org

I see you have changed your name :)
I have absolutely no idea who or what I am.. it changes by the minute. As long as I can create magick in my life I am happy and I think if the soul is happy then truly, it doesn't matter what path we follow.. a bit from here and a bit from there, gathering as I go, seems to suit me :)
enjoy the journey dear.. hmmm was gonna say solstice dreamer :) xo
I ask myself this question too I take my beliefs from so many sources and I am not entirely any of them. In the past I have been involved with Pagan groups and have been gratified to see the acceptance - with no strict doctrine or dogma - of everyone's varying beliefs.
just had to tell you, that once, I went to join a circle.. and I arrived and it was a nakedcircle.. the first time I had heard the word skyclad... oh my god, i ran so fast like the devil himself was after me!
Wow! You remind me of myself. I do not label myself because, well... first I do not like labels. Second, I can't label myself. I do have generic terms for myself. I am a traditional witch and as such - my beliefs are very close to your own. And because of this, I was not fitting in on forums either. So, I created my own with a friend. Works for me. :D
