I found this extensive list of questions for people who consider themselves to be metaphysically inclined. I'll answer one here and there, now and then.
The first question is:
Are you solitary or in a coven?
The answer?
Definitely solitary.
I don't play well by other people's rules.
I also run with scissors. Or, I would if running were still a thing that my body allowed. At this point, I shuffle with scissors.
I was drawn to Wicca/Paganism when I was in my late teens. I was extremely weary of the judgmental behavior of so-called "Christians." I had been a devout Catholic until that point, but was really tired of having awful things said about the musicians I enjoyed listening to, of being told that I was a "devil worshiper," and of being told that I mustn't question the church doctrine. I made my official split from the church when I turned 18.
Sadly, I found out over the years that many people calling themselves mystics, witches, or New Age were cut from the same cloth, they just decorated their cloth with pentagrams instead of crosses. I distanced myself from them as well. So, I'm a metaphysician without a country, so to speak.
If your philosophy or religion has an ass-ton of rules that you have to play by or you're going to be ostracized and branded a pariah, it's not going to work for me. Same reason I don't do well working for big corporations.
My philosophy has only one hard and fast rule. It will appear at the bottom of this post.
Peace,
Cie
