When I was 16 I lost a close friend who was 15 at the time to a cancerous brain tumor. I was an evangelical Christian at the time and this made me go to my pastor and question him at length about death and heaven and I realized that NONE of it felt right to me. I didn't believe in God with the big g anymore. I did however believe in something. I actually spent 6 months doing research of religion just searching for something that called to me and said look here I am. I found Wicca first but realized after about a year found that this was not right either. Many years later having held a set of person beliefs and following no one I found a group of people in Maine through a friend and there it was. My home. I love being pagan and I get happy in my heart just thinking about this group of people that love and accept me for who I am.

To be specific we practice and earth/nature based religion that is all about the balance in the world. A belief that when there is light there must be dark. I have slowly become more involved in the group and have recently done my first successful past life regression for a friend that felt it was time for her to explore that part of herself. I am a protector for the group. Their first female guardian this go round and also the female half of our physical healers. I don't expect many of you to share my beliefs or even think that I am sane for having them but there are very few rules in my religion and one it the belief that ALL religions are valid and equal. I think that in a time where people fight over what is essentially nothing in the long run our faith in whoever or whatever should be a way of uniting us instead of an instrument of hate and destruction.

If it harm none do what you will. This is really the only RULE. Don't mess up cause karma's gonna kick your ass. Wouldn't it be nice if more people lived like this? I think all faith is good just that religion can be bad. Faith in something bigger than us is what defines the human race as unique. To have the capacity to hope for something beyond this life is a large part of the essence of humanity.

I have not put this here to convert anyone but I would love to know what you believe. That is all I got for now. Go see the trailer.
