glamour

I do not have a glamorous life.

My name is Autumn and I am twenty-seven years old. I go to work, go to the gym, cook dinner for the hubby, watch weeknight TV and clean my house on Saturday. This is my average life.

But I have a glamorous secret...and that is, that I am a witch.

Okay, so maybe that's a tad dramatic. But its the truth! Being a witch is such a fabulous secret, isn't it? But that isn't why I decided to take the pagan path a year and a half ago.I became pagan for two reasons. One, I love nature and all things natural. This seemed to be the most perfect religion to be when I was searching for one. One that centers on communing with nature and honoring the change of time and seasons. The second reason, is because I love history and being in connection with my roots. Where did we come from, what was life back in the "olden" days? And paganism is what I found.

I think that Paganism is wonderful, because while the roots are the same, you can worship however you please, whatever way you see fit. No one is telling you what is right, or what is wrong, and we are all loving and kind to eachother (...most of us, anyway). My paganism probably has a Christian twist. No one is telling me that this is wrong... its just how I do things. Its my paganism.

Most people pray to a God, I pray both to him and his counterpart, the Goddess
I talk to Gaia, mother earth, when I feel her whisper to me as the wind blows.
I thank Mother Moon for filling me with positive energy, whatever phase she is in. At all moon phases, I am thankful to be alive, healthy and here on Earth experiencing life.
I thank the God for providing me with life.
At night, I meditate with the Goddess and pray to the God before falling asleep.

So, maybe my religion is a glamorous secret to most of my coworkers and friends, but my husband accepts me, my family accepts me, and most importantly, I accept myself...this is whats important to me. At this time of year, the season of the witch, I now take time to reflect and be thankful that I have found this religion. I'm happy for a religion that does not pass judgement, who loves many and walks with nature.

How did you get here? What is your journey?

Merry Meet
Merry Part

Until next time witchy friends!
Keep on being your glamorous witchy self :)
