I have always believed in the concept of Gods, "higher" beings that created the world. I began to form my own spiritual beliefs when I was in high school. Mythology and the "old ways" played a great part in the forming of these beliefs, especially Greek mythology. Now, I've never been a member of a "real" religion, I have just had my own personal beliefs. Beliefs that I began to explain as a "Wiccan, Pagan spiritual thing." I could never find a "real" religion that encompassed all of my beliefs and I was apprehensive to look into the Wiccan and Pagan ways. I tried Scientology, the belief of "mind over matter," but I could get into it, if you know what I mean. So, here I am. A 24 year old Teamster who has lived without a religion for almost my entire life. Well, I stumbled into a few conversations, bought a few books and surfed the web for far too many nights and now I call myself Wiccan.

Many Wiccans will say that I'm not, and that I have no right to call myself a witch, but after reading Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practicioner by the late Scott Cunningham I know that I can. Now , I know that I have much more studying to do and I have not yet begun to practice the ways of magic, but in my heart I know what I believe. When reading a book makes you cry tears of joy, no one can tell you not to do something.
