| My ideas of Wicca have developed from personal expereince, childhood (from both my grandmother and my aunt), from popular books (see my wicca library) and from that thing that is happening to a whole new generation; resulting in a growing new age movement - internet. Wicca to me is about a connection with and a reverence of the nature that is all around us, the seasons of the year and the divinity therein. Firstly I must say that my beliefs are entirely personal to me, this whole section is here as to provide the fullest picture of me as possible in cyberville. I am ""solitary practitionr" of my faith and I have no wish or desire to change that or recruit devotees and call myself a "High" anything. What I do and how I do it is between me and my dieties, which leads me on quite nicely! My Goddess and God have no faces, they are not Isis and Osiris or Diana and Pan. I think that by fitting the undefinable into shapes that our ancestors built up demonstrates the human complusion to put a perfect description and label to everything. I do not think that I can do that to the devine powers that I pay homage to and ask for guidance from. Long before knowing that I was wiccan/pagan; when i was taken to the odd church Sunday school, i have had a facination with ancient egypt, it's ways, art and customes (or at least that which we can decipher after so long). If anyone who knows me well enough to be in my home will tell you it is littered with bit and pieces representing that era, as well as few tattoos(!), but these do not repesent my faith. they are an interest and a hobby which people confuse with faith when they hear that i am wiccan and into egypt, but trust me they are not related. |

You may think that these do not fit with May Day for Beltaine or All Hallows Eve for Samhain, but I follow the phases of the moon; 1/2 Waxing for Imbolc, Full for Beltaine, 1/2 Wanning for Lughnasa and New for Samhain. |
