Created on: January 31, 2007 Last Updated: May 11, 2007
Wicca is a nature based religion that encompasses many aspects of Paganism. Rituals are celebrated that have been around for at least four thousand years.
I found Wicca whilst reading a fiction book and I decided to investigate. Not much later, I found that Wicca was what I had believed for many years, not realising that many people felt the same way about the world.
I medidate regularly, which has helped me relax and destress. I try to medidate facing West or in the bath as my starsign is Pisces, a water sign. I have always been pulled westwards and I adore running into a westerly wind. West is the direction associated with water.
I celebrate the Wiccan rituals as best I can. My athame is a wooden letter opener that has a horse's head. The horse is my spirit animal. My water is in a Greek jug that has the triple-goddess on it, something I noticed after I dedicated.
Wicca is a part of me now. Nothing my Christian friends say will change that. I am Wiccan and proud of it.
