And you should feel OK with yourself. All is well. You're here for a purpose and can meet and overcome every challenge that faces you. Here's a song just for you:

WOW! Steven that made absolute sense to me.

Without seeming to vague...I would say I draw from every religion and culture those things which are good...and I leave the bad. Only associating myself with all that's light...which is another reason I feel negative energy makes sure to find me...they all want to go toward the light...no?

Let me throw in my 2 cents. I'm not into any kind of the Craft. I was involved in religion for probably 2 decades and left for warranted reasons. My wife and I got involved with a new age group who was all about "love and light". We have since left them, not out of judgment, but because there was no connection because we see life as being the positive and the negative; a balance if you will. You will never be able to to avoid the negative; it is the negative which helps one to evolve, so I think that the negative makes sure to find you because you are a strong opponent, which I think is a good thing.

I recently read a book which helped me to understand why I left the "love and light" philosophy; which BTW is only another opinion that is similar to my own.

So Matrix, WTH are you trying to say? I think that while you like yourself associated with the light only; in actuality, you're strong enough to handle the negative. That is how you evolve. I see you as a strong individual. I may be wrong, but that's how I see you.

"Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return. And we can. Because the cosmos is also within us. We're made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself."

EXACTLY. Thank you TofN makes it very clear to me

I see it as it is better to educate yourself as fully as possible. You take from spiritual teachings what seems right and fits you. This is what I've done.

The universal energy that flows through all of the stars, planets and all of us encompasses all worlds, all species, all dimensions. It is all very much one thing. There is no separation, just variations on how each individual person views it. There is one truth but many different realities.

Grandmaducky, RXRom I totally agree...open to a lot.

Do you think there is a connection to the spirit world and to what we follow or what we believe?

Well, there's lots of types of witches, not just Wiccan. I am Kemetic, which follows Kemet (Egyptian) iconography. A lot of the spell work I do is similar to Wiccan though. I just sub Kemetic names for the gods with the more northern god names of Wicca. I am not sure what you necessarily mean by candle magic. Candles are used in lots of rites for lots of different reasons, as well as herbs and other natural elements. I tend to use a lot of incense and rocks that I've collected. But mostly, it's me conversing with the moon, especially going into the Dark Moon phase which is connected with Neb-Het (Nephthys).
