As a Young Man I became aware of magic. I don't quite remember how but I always wondered if there was more to life than what I was told and what I saw. I wanted to know more about the world and it's secrets so at 19 I began my journey in witchcraft and Wicca. I was not really persecuted for I lived with a woman who knew of magic but never as far as I knew studied or practiced it. Somehow my parents became aware of it and my family being strict Christian denied me the right to study it within their household. I respect their judgments on studying it within the house for I do not believe that younger children should start if they know not what they study. But obviously I still study it but not with my parents or my family knowing. I believe that I have some gifts that I need the channel. For example I feel a connection to the Earth the Flora and fauna of this world I feel as if I can understand better than anything else. I have an adaptive spirits to water, I feel balanced and at peace when I am submerged in water and strangely enough when I dive into the water I do not feel as if I need to breathe before I inhale it and it does not clog my lungs. I have an ability that I'm sure is common to sense energy negative and positive, I practice with a friend on summoning energy called Qi which is an ancient art of summoning energy in Japan .
As a young child I was able to move things with my mind, at first I was not aware of it I always thought it was just a tiny joke I was able to move string I would move my finger and the string would follow without me having to touch it. I am also very clairvoyant I can also see things before they happen I've had visions of my aggression towards my family and in the end it happens less than a week later exactly the same way. At age 19 all these skills became aware to me and I started my journey studying Wicca. Again my family is a strict Christian family and I do not feel they would understand so this is my secret that I've kept from them which is normally something I rarely do
( mainly because I am terrible at keeping secrets).
My intentions before of studying wicca were quite childish but today I wish to use Wicca as a way to help people, as a way to help myself, & as a way to grow and learn.
So far I am at a stage of studying and learning I have not yet become my practices but I am close to starting.
It is heartwarming to study amongst Christians who believe in the same practices it gives me hope knowing that I'm not alone.
Thank you for allowing me into your coven.
I wish to learn much while I'm here and in turn perhaps one day guide someone else in their journey.
