Personally, I have studied many different spiritual paths in the
course of my life.
I was raised "Christian" in a very loose sense...no
church was mandated...but basic Christian beliefs were taught.
As I grew
older, I began to question the other practices I saw around me and began
exploring.
I studied the Mormon faith for 18 months....
I got
involved in Native American traditions and beliefs for well over two years with
Chief Two Trees in Old Fort, North Carolina. This is where I learned different
healing techniques and was certified as second degree Reiki healer. I
participated in various Native American ceremonies. Received a vast influx of
knowledge in the field of holistic medicine...herbs and minerals versus medical
cures and cover ups. I had the opportunity to travel the Four Corners area of
the United States and was able to learn and share with both the Navaho Elders
and Hopi Elders. I spent over a year in Fairbanks, Alaska, and learned much from
the Native Americans and Eskimos in this part of the world.
I became a
practicing Wiccan for almost two years...and loved that...the worship of The
Mother was wonderful and this probably left me feeling the most
complete...however I encountered some problems that I misinterpreted, with a
spell called Jacob's Ladder...and I dropped that path. In late 2003 I moved back
into the Wiccan Path in many areas of my life and study. I am a member of the
coven "Pagan and Proud of it!"
I also studied with Jehovah's Witnesses
for eight years and became an ordained minister with them...only to have
problems with the condemnation of all other people that were not "them".
I studied the philosophy of Kashmir Shaivism under Gurymayi
Chidvilasanda for four years.
Currently, I am on my chosen path of what
I refer to as Celtic Shamanic Wicca... a very eclectic mix for myself, that
works well with Celtic traditions, Native American Traditions, and, of course
Wicca. I do not see myself leaving this Path, as it has been my Path for several
years now.
I read the cards, and use a deck called, The Well Worn
Path.... a Wiccan Deck.
I now work, online, at various levels to teach,
and to learn, and, of course, to share. I am always honored for questions sent
my way. If you have any, please do not hesitate to send me an email. I will get
back with you in a relatively short period of time.
