Wicca. It's a religion i've been interested in for a while now and am learning more about all the time. Since I wrote my philosophy a few years back i've aligned myself with paganism, but not necessarily wicca. I never really connected with the idea of duality in divinty as well as a few other points of belief generally accepted by witches. I was more pantheistic and scientific about my thoughts back then. I needed ways to rationalize what i believed and show that it concurred with science rather than disagreed. Since then i've changed my beliefs somewhat. I even went through a small phase of christianity (I am very glad this phase is over. Don't get me wrong though, i still think Jesus was a swell guy...just can't deal with the single omnipotent transcendant god idea). Anyway, lately i've been drawn more and more toward Wicca. It's the one religion that really seems to click with me. I read about it and just think "This makes sense. I can believe this."

On a similar note, at my party we had this amazing seance. Certainly the message we got was not a happy one, but it was definately real. I don't even know what to say to describe the experience, which is odd, because i'm not usually the one to be at a loss for words. It happens though i suppose. There is supposed to be another seance tonight at Hitler/WWII fest. I am quite looking forward to it. I think the things that come out of a seance can be quite confusing. By this statement i don't necessarily mean the meaning of the signs and things, which can indeed be confusing because it must be interpreted, but rather why that spirit contacted us and what we should do with the information they've given us. Is it meant as a warning so that something can be changed or is it rather just meant as a heads-up "hey, just to let you know, this is going to happen, don't bother trying to change it." I'd like to think it is the first. I don't think spirits would talk just for the sake of making conversation. I'd suppose there is usually a reason: helping people. But alas, I am only a mere mortal and do not know these sorts of things. I just hope things turn out for the best.
