The Truth Shall Set You Free

I'm in my solitude sitting outside in the cool night air and enjoying the quiet. No one running off their mouth. Which really got me to thinking that lately I have really had my fill of people here lately. Now I am not a people person but I still get the desire to mingle with people, except recently. Let me explain in more detail.

Case #1, and the most hurtful. My once best friend that had claimed to be Wiccan, went back to Christianity. Now, I don't have a problem with someone following what is true to them and going for it, but it has been her actions since then that I have a such a problem with. You wouldn't think that a supposedly former Wiccan wouldn't discriminate or treat a Wiccan badly, but that would be wrong to think apparently. She has said some incredibly rude and untrue things to me and others regarding my religion. She also lies more than ever now. She hasn't apologized for it either. Needless to say we really don't talk much at all anymore.

Case #2. My other friend and her husband are really into politics and it seems that is all they want to talk about anymore. I swear every election year they choose a particular candidate and they practically say that if the one they are voting doesn't get into office, it will be the end of the United States as we know it. WTF? Anyway, they have all been into the politics hard and heavy and I'm so sick of it. They don't even look at both sides of things.

Case #3. Recently one of my coworkers lied about me to my boss saying that I have been late, when I haven't been. She's been real jumpy around me too. Tonight I just walked over next to her to get something and I saw her jump out of the corner of my eye. I guess she is afraid that I'm gonna kick her ass or something. What she doesn't know is that I find her such a repulsive creature that I wouldn't dare touch her, much less kick her ass.

So basically, I'm just tired of all the lying, deceiving and half truths that are going on all around me. I go through life looking for truth, so naturally when someone lies to me or doesn't tell the whole truth, I get pissed off. Why do people lie anyway? I'm not talking about when someone does it to keep from needlessly hurting someones feelings. I'm talking about when people just make shit up, or look at part of the truth and ignore or completely deny the rest. I really believe in the phrase, "the truth shall set you free." It has set me free from so many things and people. It has been that one lite in the darkness that helped me find my way. It has always been there when I needed it and even when I didn't want it. But it was better for me knowing the truth. I consider it the one thing in this world that hasn't let me down. I've even let my own self down. So, I don't understand why so many people just discard it when it can do so much for them. So here's to the truth. May it always find you wherever you are.

Titles. Who Really Cares Anyway?

On my earlier post I described myself as Wiccan. Only recently have I thought about discarding that title due to recent online drama. There are some Wiccans and some non-wiccan Pagans that have been behaving very badly on YouTube. You see, they are prejudiced against anyone calling themselves a Christian Wiccan. Even after valid points have been made they refuse to accept it as valid. Not to mention the fact that much of Wiccan rituals were originally taken from Christian or Jewish influenced rituals. Then they go on to say that Christian Wiccans are mixing pantheons and that they are dishonoring and diluting the faiths by combining the two. Some Pagans have even said that by mixing pantheons they are dishonoring the culture the religions come from. I hate that I even have to say this obvious shit but cultures are always mixing when they have access to each other. These people have ignorance that is beyond measure. Or maybe it's just stupidity. That is why I have been thinking about dropping the Wiccan title or even calling myself Pagan. Maybe I'll make up my own cult and call it The Wiked Religion. And make it where only wiked bitches and bastards like myself may join. So anyway, I haven't decided yet on what I'm gonna do. For now, I'm still Wiccan. But, who really cares anyway? It's just a title. It does help describe yourself or let people know quite a bit about you without saying a whole lot. But I don't want to be associated with some of these Wiccans that I have seen on YouTube. If I see more of it, then I probably will drop it, but for now I'll just keep the title Wiccan and see what happens.

About the Wikedbitch, eh, I mean Wikedwitch

I thought that I should start this out by telling you a little about me. In the beginning, in a land far, far away I was a Christian that eventually read the Bible. And that basically done it for me. How could anyone worship a God so hateful and jealous? I still believed in a God or something, but not in the Christian god. Then one day I found that witchcraft wasn't just make believe and had a serious interest in witchcraft when I was about 16 or so. I bought a book on it only to have everybody freak out about it so I ended up getting rid of it. Then I went into basic training when I was 18 and that is where I first heard the term Wicca. There were quite a few in my company, but not in my platoon so I really didn't get to talk to them about it even though I was interested. I got married and that barely lasted 3 years till 2003. Later that year I found out that one of my friends was Wiccan. I fucked with her about it at first and asked her if she was afraid she was gonna go to hell. She just told me to shut up, LOL. Then she gave me Raymond Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft and said,"Just read it bitch." Loving friends I have, LOL. After I read that I got online and almost bought out Barnes and Noble, LOL. I think I ordered about 2o books, literally. And I have been on the Wiccan path since.

I haven't remarried and my longest relationships have barely lasted 3 months. And there haven't been many of those. I have some serious trust issues and I'm gonna start doing some inner work on that specifically very soon. I have avoided it for far too long. Probably cause I know it's gonna suck.
