Hi
« on: February 27, 2019, 10:32:13 am »
My name is Rowan and I joined this forum yesterday on a whim. I discovered the forum while doing a bit of research and was surprised to learn that there is still at least one pagan community still using a forum. I've always loved forums so I thought I'd join. Also, I guess another reason why I decided to join is to have some added spiritual support as I make a major transition in my life.

I guess I would classify myself as a solitary witch with eclectic beliefs. I've been practicing for only about 14 years now as I was raised in the Southern Baptist Church. On the whole I don't care much for Christianity because I am also a Lesbian and most don't care for people like me. Having said that, though, I don't go out of my way to speak ill of them. Also, one of my very dearest friends is a Christian who is open to the idea that there's more to spirituality than her beliefs alone.

Born and raised on an island of eclecticism in the Deep South - I'll leave you to figure out what I mean. Lol I've just come to realize recently that though I may live in the South, I am not a Southerner.

I also am from the South and don't feel like a southerner! I have almost no southern accent.

I understand why you feel as you do about Christianity.  I identify as gay myself.  I am at least culturally Christian, but I work with the symbols in my own way.  I love working with religious symbolism.  It is an art form for me.

Lately I am learning about Jung and discovering much Jungian symbolism in my experiences and practices that I didn't realize was there.

I absorb much of this like a sponge.  If only I could absorb more mundane practical information that way!

I know what that's like, especially in the south. Welcome to the Cauldron, I hope you find it to be welcoming and accepting, and spiritually and intellectually engaging!
"The worshippers of the gods go to them; to the manes go the ancestor-worshippers; to the Deities who preside over the elements go their worshippers; My devotees come to Me." ... "Whichever devotee desires to adore whatever such Deity with faith, in all such votaries I make that particular faith unshakable. Endowed with that faith, a votary performs the worship of that particular deity and obtains the fruits thereof, these being granted by Me alone." - Sri Krishna
