Paganism

What being Pagan means to me.

There is a beautiful diversity to being Pagan. All the paths of Paganism honor and learn from each other, most of the time. We do not tell each other, that you must do things any one way. Each Pagan finds their God & Goddess, their spirituality, religion and magic in their own way. We know that we are all children of God & Goddess.

I love our Mother Earth, nature is the most spiritual place for me. I love to walk in the forests, beside an ocean or river, sit on a hillside, or just on the porch and commune with nature. There is energy and spirit in all things, from the trees/plants, the rocks/gems, the air we breathe, the fire and the water we drink. I can feel the energy in the earth that feeds us all.

I feel connected to the five elements, Earth, Air, Water, Fire, and Spirit.

From Air, I receive the gift of breath. I see in the Air above, the sky, sun, stars and the moon. The sky above and around me is charged full of energy. The Sun that warms and energies me, thru sunrise to sunset. The stars I gaze at, that guide me in my journey. The Moon, thru sunset to sunrise, the Triple Goddess, Maiden, Mother, and Crone help me to see the good and bad in me and all things. She helps me to see when I have erred and gives me the strength to make things right. She helps me to see my worth, and worth in all things. Air gives me communication, focus, and illumination.

From Fire, I receive renewal and protection. When I glaze at a fire and let myself go, clear my mind, I can communicate with fire. I see images that speak to me, and guide me. Fire also grants me courage, faith, strength, and if it doesn't consume me, the power of protection. The fire can destroy or heal, you should always be careful. Fire helps by guiding me on my journey.

From Water, I receive cleansing, calming, and healing. When ever I feel, I am beyond what I can handle, which happens often. I prepare a bath ritual, a swim ritual, would be better for me, but not possible always. Water helps heal within me the hurts and problems, leaving me cleansed and calm. I ask the Goddess for help thru the ritual, or thru a simple spell. They are always there for me, to help cleanse away the bad energies and help calm me.

From Earth, I receive the gift of physical life, love and acceptance. Our Mother Earth's nourishment and love. She nourishes, gives energy and spirit to nature and all her children. She gives me the gift of Earth magic, healing and wisdom.

Spirit, is what I am. I see the fifth element inside me. The Goddess has gifted me with a spirit to go with my soul, and this I see as the fifth element.
