Acceptance...

Is any one else having problems? I came on here and shared my beliefs, some agreed, but others told me i wasnt a true pagan. I know how to handle it in real life but what do you do on the internet? I guess its just them but i dont want to be stupid and not change if thats what i need to do...

I was "told" that I couldn't simply pick up a book and decide that I was pagan. Not told in the verbal or written sense, but in the sense that I Googled my name and found my application and then the group discussion for an online group that I eventually joined. More than one of the group thought I was a "fluffy bunny." I was 32. It broke my heart and put a "pause" in my spiritual growth while I pondered how I could be a real witch.

While all of this can be so disheartening, don't lose bits of yourself to their doubts. Don't entertain their doubts. I don't have to justify my beliefs to anyone and neither do you. There is no right way. We are all here because we are like-minded, but the differences in our beliefs are what make them sacred to each of us.

Stay strong, little sister.

Brightest Blessings,
Suzie

lol, do you know just how many times I have been called this ???? I haft to laugh every time I hear the term and I scratch my head as I wonder just where in the world they got this, but I do like rabbits and their tails have I suppose always brought good luck and the symbol its self is a person who is lucky in every aspect of life, so when they call me this I say Thanks. Their is and simply is not a RIGHT way, the right way is within the self, reguardless of the thoughts and remarks from the closed minded, and girl! have I meet these. its like beating a dead horse. And Suzie you are right, our journey here is about the [ I ] not about others. The world is magical and the us just being here is magick at least to the spiritual, but to the mundane and physical centered its hog wash. so do as [ YOU ] [ WILL ] bring forth your spirit and your soul and the mundane will take care of its self BB
