So. November 8th, 2015. I made a sort of decision today, that I'd like to begin looking into witchcraft. This morning at church I was really thinking about my views concerning the universe. I thought about the fact that I have never had a personally moving experience with a Christian god. I don't know if I need to have a spiritual connection to something to fulfill my life, but I'd like to try. I have always been drawn to witchcraft, but I am a die-hard skeptic.
I like the idea of reincarnation and the three-fold concepts. I have never understood the concept of heaven, and I can't say that I believe or disbelieve. My grasp of the Christian hell is that it is not a fiery pit, but a place in which no presence of God or light is found. I already feel like there is no presence of God in my life, does this mean I am already in hell?
I am scared of the word Wicca, but it seems to be what is done these days. I think I'm scared because of that Christian book I bought or someone gave me. This girl gets into Wicca and ends up killing people or something, I don't quite remember. It's pretty vague. But I do know that the idea of like... casting spells isn't really my thing. I think.
I am spending the most time researching green witchcraft, because I think that it seems like the safest thing to start out with. I really plan on communing with nature as much as possible. I like the idea of a "Book of Shadows" or grimoire although it feels very antiquated to actually say out loud. I think I'll order one off of Amazon. I don't think there are any new age shops in Scranton, but that's what I'll check out next.
I found one in Wilkes-Barre but it looks super shady.
