I am Spirit or BewitchedSpirit and I have been a studying Pagan for 20 years now. I study/participate regularly in 2 local groups but am looking to get involved with people a big more so I wanted to try some online interaction as well. For now I just want to make connections in the community and build-up a resistance to doing things regularly and work through my personal stumblings in life. I am going through some health/mental health challenges and am trying to find the courage to press through it by interacting with others in healthy environments so I am here to search for community and self-improvement opportunities.
If you want to talk more I am most accessible on Discord. You can add me but please send me a message telling me where you are following me from so I don't block you. Lead with this because I love that block button when random people message me with no explanation. My name on Discord is... bewitched.spirit
Currently, the two groups that I partake in are a Unitarian Universalist Women's Ritual Group. I also meet on Fridays with a local Pagan Church in which I am working on ordination through. I also have a Twitch and YouTube channel that I used to more frequently do and hope to get back to doing... free esoteric education and conversation. I am hopeful to eventually find people interested in doing a weekly podcast as well.
Pathwise I am a(n)...
Omnist: I believe that all religions have their own truth and are part of whatever the ultimate truth is.
Pantheistic : I believe that we are all part of the ultimate divine and thus have divinity in us. Think Hinduism here. I feel that there has to be one ultimate creator that created everything. Whether it is intelligent or scientific creation I cannot say for sure but I personally allow myself to see this being as an all encompassing being that is in every single person, animal, object, etc. Thus it is imperative that I do my best to treat everyone and everything with the respect the ultimate divine deserves. -- Polytheism is less accurate for me as I believe that all gods and goddesses (etc) are different faces of the ultimate divine that are here to help us better understand and relate to the divine and realize the divine within ourselves. As such, no single god or goddess is more powerful or more accurate than the next. I feel that we are ultimately all on the same path to fully realizing who we are and are ultimately on a journey of rebirth and reincarnation that helps us experience the divine within everything.
Pagan : I lean towards earth centered practice. I have an associates degree in Holistic Healthcare, a bachelors degree in Alternative Medicine, and certifications in Massage Therapy (not licensed), Aromatherapy, and Holistic Nutrition and a diploma in Western Herbalism. I'd love to one day be able to use that education to open a holistic wellness center or retreat of some sort. From my earth centered education to my attempts to live a more sustainable life and finding everything, especially in nature, to be sacred... I define myself ultimately as Pagan or Neo-Pagan.
Witch/Wizard: I am a witch (and by studying at GreySchool a Wizard). I believe in magick, although realistic magick... I do not believe that it is possible to throw fireballs from my fingertips... at least in this dimension/reality. Sadly, I am consciously living in this reality and not one with high magic potential. Sad but it is what it is and I believe that this is a understanding to stay in touch with reality while also practicing magick. Manipulation of energies and manifestation of will are where I work.
Eclectic Practitioner: I very much take what I need and use it. I try to research what culture my practices come from so I better understand what I am doing but I do respectfully utilize different culture's pantheons and practices when my heart is called to do so. This primarily results in practices from the Norse, Greek, and Hindu pantheons. I allow myself to interact with the divine and magick in whatever way allows me to better understand and connect.
Shadow Practitioner: I focus a lot on my own self-growth and my experience in this world. I try very hard to transcend my short-comings by doing deep dives into myself and really trying to be aware of what is going on with me and doing my best to learn from who I am and how I interact with the world. Feel free to reach out! Thanks for reading!
**Please do NOT... Message me for spells, solicit services to or from me, tell me that you can shoot fireballs, or that you bodily turn into another being. We live in this reality and while having an active imagination is fun and cool... I'm interested in the reality of things not the Hollywood perception of things. Also, not interested in RPing. Thanks for respecting my boundaries!**
