Beliefs

What is your belief? Or faith? Or whatever you want to call it.

Pentacle (from www.wikipedia.org)

I’m Wiccan. I could say that I’m a new member of this religion, but since I discovered that this is me I have the feeling that I always was a wiccan. Like the old saying “Once a witch, always a witch”. Some of you may be scared about us, but there is nothing to be scared about. WE do not worship Satan. Actually I don’t even believe in him, he is just a Christian invention to scare people into not doing “bad” things. But I believe that you should do good things from yourself not because in the afterlife you may be sent in an awful place. I believe that we are all part of this universe, that there are not two different places where you can go after you die. We are all energy and energy we will always be. We are part of this universe and the universe is part of us.

Now I want to get to what made me write this post. My whole family are Catholics, only I am Wiccan. And they don’t know about me. I’m proud of myself, but I just can’t find the strength to tell them. Just like a few minutes ago. I told my father that on the Friday before Easter I’m going to go out with my university colleagues to have fun after an exam. But he said that how could I go out on “Great Friday”. I was just looking at him and thinking if I should tell him that it doesn’t mean anything to me? I just couldn’t get anything out. I just remained silent.

Do any of you have the same problems? I’m sure there are a lot of people who are scared to tell their families about their faith, but I feel so alone at times. I don’t know any other wiccans in person and I just wish to find someone else who has the same beliefs as me.

I decided to get a tattoo that represents my faith. A pentagram and the words “An it harm none, Do what ye will”. My mom knows that I want to get a tattoo, but she doesn’t know what the tattoo will be. I showed the design to my sister, but I don’t think she knows what it means.

I know that the day will come when they will find out. I’m open about it to my friends, but I’m not scared about what they think, in this matter only what I think is important.

Well, that was it for now. I know it was a long time since my first post, but now I feel like I’m going to write more. It makes me feel a bit lighter…

Blessed be!  )O(
