my path is kind of difficult to explain, but, at the same time, it is not considered evil neither.
My path is through Dark Eclectic Neo-Paganism and Traditional Witchcraft. I have walked this path now for two whole years, and have followed the footsteps of Goddess Hecate for the two whole years.
My path is not considered to be evil, as darkness is not evil. It is just a special time that I love to do my workings for the Dark Mother Hecate. She is even dark. and the fact that She is dark, doesn't make Her be evil neither. The way that I sort out Witchcraft, Paganism, Wicca in my mind,
is that whomever does their rites evil, than it is of evil. It is the practitioner who is the only one that can make it evil.

One of my favourite quotes from Terry Pratchet himself
"Darkness is not the opposite of light merely the absence of it".

I don't have a path as such. I am a Traditional Hedgewytch (not in the wiccan rae beth style). I also practice hoodoo (which is more the use of tricks/mojo hands etc, its not a path or philosophy in itself).
The closest I come to a path is Druidry in the sense of honouring the land and the ancestors and spirits of the land.
I also honour the spirits of the many witches before me who were killed ridiculed and out cast for their practices (and those who still are).
I have met a few Deities along the way that I also honour, though they are all from different cultures and many have been with me for a long time, I don't work with them in ritual(im not ritualistic) but I know when they are around.
I always had a funny relationship with the gods as Im not really a deity person, I dont find the worship of deities an important thing in my life, its more like I met these gods along they way and they stuck with me.
Well thats about me. I've been on my 'path' 20 years.

I have a problem with seeing the source of my being as outside myself. That was always my biggest problem growing up Christian. As a non-theistic Panentheist, I see all that exists as the cosmic consciousness's exploration and expression of itself.
While I do not hold to a purpose or plan to life, I do believe life is about exploring all it means to be human. I am determined to love freely, hate freely, mourn and grieve freely, to feel without restaint or rules and regulation on how to act or be, to be true to my human nature and the rapture and ecstasy that results from my connection to the life force of the earth.

My path is very personal to me I think partly because I am constantly learning more and incorporating them into my beliefs.So I am ever evolving in my spirituality and I like that.I do celebrate the seasons in my own quiet way and do honor the God and Goddess.

If there is one thing that I have learned, no one can say that what they believed 5 years ago is exactly what they believe today.
When we stop evolving, we die

I've always been a very spiritual person, because my parents were always searching for something more and had many books; I first learned of Paganism through my father's books (though I should add that both my parents are still Christian). I try to deepen my understanding of the world and become more spiritual. To be connected with everything is important to me, and I love Nature. My practices so far are Wiccan to some extent, but I don't consider myself to have settled on a belief system quite yet. I don't think that in the end I'm going to remain Wiccan, but being Pagan is what expresses me the most.

Hi,
Always questioning from a young age. Challenging God to appear as a late teenager. Felt something lacking through my twenties. Got married - got grounded. (He's wonderful.) Baby number one.... mmm questioning more. Baby number two.... whooooahhh something really going on from early pregnancy, a huge feeling pf calm and enlightenment. First I thought it was a God thing for a year or so then realized it wasn't. Started writing things and feeling more...... earthy, hugely drawn to moon more than ever before. Started reading, questioning 'my life's work or path.' Qualified as a Reflexologist, first degree Reiki, read some more. Started reading. Book called Earth Medicine had a huge effect. More reading. Feel like I've found my path, early position on it though. Youngest daughter.....something there too and elder one but she feels very....early as if she's a long way to go, younger daughter..... her inner 'something,' feels pretty amazing.
No labels, no magic, just a personal journey, very peaceful.
