I think one of the MANY reasons that christianity, in any form, was unappealing to me was because I felt that it was a cookie cut out form of spoonfeeding someones dogma to others. I also felt that in Paganism and specifically Wicca I found extremely intelligent people and to me that is interesting. I love to study. I love to learn. I love to explore and discover what I can about the Universe, the Gods, and the human condition. Let's just say that I NEED the freedom that my beliefs offer me. At the same time I am also an intelligent person who understands and can appreciate the, for lack of a better term, rules of the Craft. The rede makes sense to me as do other "standards" by which I chose to live and practice. But the one thing that is bothering me right now is being spoonfed my own religion. I don't really appreciate mini lectures online about things that I already know. Basic 101 Wicca, if you will. I WOULD appreciate conversation or debate or some kind of human element to what has been put out there in covenspace. When I tried to email someone about these thoughts I have I was told that you cannot get into the area that allows for private messages. Why is that? Is it because I'm not good enough? Not up to the authors standards as a witch? Just wondering. I know I sound really bitchy, but come on! Let's be people and not a sounding board for frustraited authors. A blog is a blog and that's all good, but when you then broadcast your topic then your seeking an audience. My apologies for the harshness but if it was fired off at me I would appreciate the honesty.

Love and light
