What am I??????

Thank you all so much for your wonderful replies.

I guess that all my life I have been an organised person. I was a Catholic for most of my younger life and I feel 'comfortable' belonging to something. I am also someone who likes things to be just right, I am never late for anything, my house is always clean and tidy and I guess it flows over into my spiritual world. Belonging has been important to me.

BUT.... I am now seeing where this is not a good thing in some ways and what is happening now is all a part of my growing process. I have spent a lot of time in meditation and prayer over the whole 'Wiccan' episode and was so caught off guard by my reactions to it. And I know that when I react so violently there is usually a reason underneath and maybe the reason is that it is time to move on in my spiritual path and be just me.

So thank you all for being there for me at this very difficult time - I am so blessed to have you all as friends.

Big Hugs

Dear Rowan,
I think your original expressed distress has led you down a very profound road. Labels are something we all, at one time or another, have taken comfort in and help us self-identify. Rare is the person who examines these labels and dares to cast them aside.

Back when i identified with Pagan lifestyle, theology, and dogma, i called myself an Earth Spiritualist, a title which i think is elegant and apt.

You are a human being, and you belong with the human race.
