At the moment my path is very ... eclectic solitary. I don't worship any particular deities, and I don't yeah --- have any particular focus on any pantheon. I love to meditate, and ... spend time reflecting, and reading - and with Nature, and staying up late in the silence... Sorry for the rambling.

well i am just an old bugger, i only believe half of what i see and nothing of what i hear. as for paths i don,t have one. i like any think to do with witchcraft and the people in it. as outsiders don,t want to know your a witch and will shun ya. i learnt a lot of rom magic spells etc,over the years. as for gods don,t know for sure.i know that electrical runs all over earth which connects us all.but something out there helps our magic and us. but i feel we don,t belong to earth,we come from space yonks ago and witchcraft was their religion which we have kept through the ages. thats just my opinion. i do with out doubt think the law of three works on us. i guess i am just happy to learn a little from all paths

I find it interesting to read how other see this world. Electricity.....well, science proves that all things are made of energy, electricity being a form of energy.
Coming from space....I would agree that the universe we live in (space) is the source of all things, everything that we percieve is an expression of that source, however I don't see that our physical bodies are products of some other race from some distant star.
The law of three....old wives tale...IMO

While everyone is free to have their own opinion on just about anything, for me the law of three makes no sense.
It's sort of like VooDoo. If you believe that what you do will be returned three fold, then it probably will. And if it applies to the bad things you do it should also work on the good things. So if I give away $1000.00, will I get back $3000.00? Not likely. More likely, 1) I won't be able to cover my rent which will affect my credit rating 2) I'll get evicted 3) and because I nolonger have a place to live, wash etc I stand to loss my job. Is that how it's supposed to work? ;D

watershild hi, lol well you know people have given everything away and went bush,no pressure on ya then. the gyspy and hobo and hippy all seem very happy. i do a post on this three fold law i don,t quite get it myself. but maybe its a karma debt for an old spell i did yonks ago. i check this out more. they say if you win money say $1000 give $100 each to3 poor souls and you get it back 3 fold??? i try it if i have a fair win on lotto. but you try this get a sugar bowl put some loose change in it and put it were people can see it in your house.coffee table,dinning table but they must see the coins and they want put money in it. cheers gregory

Hi all, well i'm spiritual not religous, i have been on this path since 2000 and it's lead me to being a witch, i also do Reiki and work with crystals and believe that we are all one and connected to the universe and that God and the Goddess are in each of us. We all have that divine spark of light within and it's up to us if we choose to connect. I have a huge passion for Nature and feel very connected to trees and animals and Moutains, i'm an air sign Aquarian and feel myself up there a lot, need to ground regularly. I love Mother Earth and all life and feel spirit in everything, i also Astral sometimes and frequently have visions about things, which is why having written several journals over the years i know my visions have lead me to this path. I have only really done one spell so far but maybe that will come, don't feel the need just yet. Love to you All.

My path right now is extremely solitary. I have been wanting to get involved with a group, but I have no time, and besides that I am extremely shy sometimes... >.> Umm.... I am still in a "study" stage, although I have been practicing since 2005... umm... I'm focusing on using and drawing energy from myself to perform things. I've attempted meditation, and I loved it very much. I use it to calm me down when I'm feeling overly-emotional. I don't have any particular set of deities, although the celtic pantheon interests me, as does the Korean pantheon, although it is harder to find information on the latter. ... ^^;;; That's all I can think of right now haha

I'm not very religious, I would consider it more spiritual than anything else. What I believe is a little odd, I've been told.
I believe the Earth is the female aspect that gives birth to all things, and Music is the male aspect that fills all things with life.
I believe in kindness, standing up for yourself, the joy of not having to stand alone, but the courage to do so if needbe.
I am studying Japanese Mythology, even though I'm not sure how I feel about deities in general. If pushed against a wall, I would have to say that I don't believe in deities, because I would like to think that each person has the ability to control their lives and should have the responsibility to do so. I do believe in a "higher power" but I think that "higher power" is just a feeling of conection between the life one is living, and ones ability to make his/her life more vaulable to him/her.
ok, I'm done rambling now.
Without Wax, Kit.

Lately i have done so much soul searching. I have allot of things going on in my life, we are trying to have a baby, so i have been focusing on that, and also what i am going to tell our baby i believe in. We are moving in a little more then 30 days to another state thats like 5 states away from my family.
So what i have come to believe in is The One, and The One has 2 personality's, the God and the Goddess. The Goddess handles things that are "womanly" ( birth growth household work etc. ). The God handles "manly" things ( hunting/animals working just manly men ). I believe that there is just the One but like if i need help with something specific, like trying to get pregnant i ask the Goddess. I believe that a male God, or even a male personality just cant understand the female body and help. Just like if my husband is having trouble with something and i don't understand i prey to the God for help in the situation, or for me to understand. I know it sounds a little sexist when i call it womanly, and manly but thats the way i believe in it, I was raised by my grandmother and was taught that thats how things work. I think its great women are there own people now and i know i can be one if i want but i am happy the way i am now. And how things work around here.
I haven't really come to a true understanding of my God/ess. But i keep preying and trying to understand.

My path! Well I am a Solitary Hearth Witch and follow the Saex Wica path. My deities are Woden, Freya, Thunar, Ingu Frey and Erce. My beliefs: Well these are complex I suppose as everything changes with time nothing stays the same and this is natural. I see the world as energy so it stands to reason that the energy we put out will effect the world. I believe in the Fae not as 'Tinkerbell' but as energy and I know many would say this is not part of my path but I do what I feel is right for me not someone else. I am a spiritual person

Hi am am Lucy. I believe all paths are individual and sacred. That the universe is the living body of the Goddess and that through her will and her love life and conciousness came to be. My God dances in the forest, to a beat no human ear can hear. It wakens everything Divine, reminding it of it's part in the whole. I believe in the multiple realms of beings intertwined with this one, some good some bad some indifferent. (by good or bad, I mean like or dislike people). I believe that do what you will but harm none also has to include yourself. I believe that three-fold is trickier than we think ie we give £100 we get £300, it tends to manifest differently, like you give £100 to a charity and the tax faeries make sure you don't get over taxed by £300, or something expensive to repair that should cost £300 now is fixed for £5 by someone who randomly say "I can fix that for you". Or more than likely you do a RAK (Random Act of Kindness) and three or even more come back to you. I believe everything has some level of conciousness, from trees and crystals, to buildings and toasters, (How many times have you shouted at something to work?) I am a Celtic Fey Witch and have worked alone, with my husband and within our covens. I took a break from the coven stuff to further my personal studies into the deeper mystereies of the craft. I weave magik into everything I do but on the full moon and Sabbats tend to do more ritual work. I am a natural psychic, from a family of natural psychics (not as wonderful as it sounds, the fights we have pull more energy than the cup final) a gifted healer and bard. In general I am amazing at going stuff that makes me NO money what so ever. Still I believe in kindness. I believe in honour and dignity. I believe people can chose to change, grow and become more spiritual beings; but that that choice is taken rarely because change is often painful and frightening. That some people would rather suffer needlessly than face the unknown. That is however their choice and even pointing this out, especially when asked, people don't listen. I am a very old soul. Born that way, but life is for living, and loving...today and everyday.

I realise after having gone back and read this topic that I need to update mine a little bit.
Most of my orignal reply is the same but I no longer class myself as a witch. I've really struggled with the definition of witch and I'm still very unsure of what qualifies a person to be a witch. I don't believe anything I do and have done in the past is witchcraft. I think it goes WAY beyond comprehension. I don't think it even has a name.
I have a tremendous sense of well being that the universe will look after me and everything it throws in my path is for my own good. The good of enlightening me more as a spiritual being. I'm happy and content with going with the flow and trusting in the universe completely and utterly.
Maybe that's where the true magic lies.
