The last few days I’ve been feeling a little under the weather with a sinus infection. And we had snow! Yikes! But I’ve got some time this morning so here’s the next post! Enjoy! 
Though I have been walking this path for quite some time, I have not chosen a tradition to embrace. At this point, I do not feel that is necessary for me. I read what moves me, study what feels right and live my life according to the morals and values I’ve grown into.
Namely, that means I speak with an honest heart, uphold the Laws of nature and of man, love all animals and humans that cross my path, forgive those who harm me whether that is mentally, emotionally or physically. I do my best to keep my promises to myself and others, to keep my anger in check, say I’m sorry when it needs to be said, connect to the Source daily and give thanks for all I have and for all that I am about to receive.
That may sound fairly simplistic. But, you know, I’ve come to understand that life doesn’t have to be hard. It’s only as hard as you make it. If you think it’s going to suck, well then it probably will. The joy is that I’ve found the reverse is also true – if you think it’s going to be good, it can be.
Maybe this doesn’t have a lot to do with my path in the eyes of some. For me, the path isn’t only about what I do at my altar or during sabbats, esbats, etc. It’s about how I live my life every minute of every day. Like the kitchen witch who cooks his/her food with magic and love. Like the shaman or healer who infuses their remedies with life and peace among it’s healing properties.
Likewise, my path isn’t about shocking people. Or about scaring someone with archaic labels that don’t serve any well, least of all those who call this path “home.”
When I first began my journey, this path truly did feel like “home” – I felt accepted, peaceful, and just plain ol’ like I was doing what was actually right and in alignment with my true being, my true self. I know that’s true for many others who have embarked on this great walk as well.
I will write again later. Right now, it’s time to begin my day.
Blessings to all!
