I'd like to devote a few postings to my spiritual journey.
When I was fifteen, I became interested in the spiritual path called Wicca. For those who don't know Wicca is a derivative of Neo-Paganism that focuses on harnessing the natural energy of the earth sky water and air around you and worship deities that represent such. In it's tenants Wiccans do not under any circumstances claim to be "the one true religion" or anything like that. Wiccans practice their spirituality and don't preach that what they believe in is better than any other spirituality. Wiccans are peaceful people.
Since then my interest in the varied Wiccan paths has become stronger. It became less of a belief in the commonplace form of Wicca and more of an eclectic Wicca filled with ideas that had come though my experiences, and things that I'd seen and felt involving the paranormal and supernatural. Unfortunately I hit a spiritual brick wall.
In the Spring of 2008 my family was ripped apart, and I lost all faith in anything including myself. It's been four years, and I'm still trying to find my way back. I've got books online I read, I still have my altar and all it's dressings which I've collected over the years. I'm just having problems really connecting to it and feeling close to it the way I used to. I want that back. I think that's part of the reason my kids are being overly influenced by the status quo; because they're not actually connecting to this beautiful world that I've experienced.
I want them to see that all spiritual paths are beautiful, and even though nobody can prove they're the "one and true" path, all should be accepted because as long as it brings happiness to the world, then noone is wrong.
