The Year Before I Became Wiccan
It hadn’t been a year ago, back in 1993 when I had renounced my Christianity, when I started experiencing things. I’d even say that what I was experiencing was anything but normal. I had begun to hear voices calling to me.The Calling
The voices weren’t what we think of when we learn about hysterics. Instead, it was one voice with one, pure purpose. To be specific, it was a female’s voice saying, “Come to me!” The voice didn’t seem to be in my head, but it seemed to be off in the distance. And it didn’t seem to come from any direction. Nor did it matter where I was or what I was doing; it just kept calling to me. I even heard it in my sleep. By this time it’s been 2 months since this whole thing started. Needless to say, I was starting to question my sanity.The Search for Answers
The year is 1994, and the internet wasn’t what it’s like today. In the 90s, there were some categorized, organized bits of information about normal topics, but nothing existed on the web about Wicca, Witchcraft, or Paganism. So, after some thought, I started visiting any and every bookstore that I could find.Bypass Spiritual and Religious Barriers to Find your Path
To top it off, I couldn’t explain it at the time, but in addition to the Woman’s voice, I had this urge/feeling to check out different religions. I read about Buddhism, Judaism, Shinto, and a few worldly religious. After searching in about 5 different bookstores, I finally came across a book about Wicca. That book was called “Teen Witch.”“Teen Witch” was my Gateway Book
When I read this book, it was like I found a missing part of me, or a long lost friend and colleague. As I read through this book, I learned many techniques, including my favorite — meditation, and it was through this specific skill that I was introduced to the Goddess. I immediately knew it was her voice that was calling to me.The Voice of the Goddess that is Always with Me
To this day, I continue hearing and talking to the Goddess. Over time, she would show me many things about myself that no one else could possibly know. She would reveal to me my past lives and even unlock some of my past lives’ memories. I knew, in these moments, that this was my calling and I was meant to walk this path. I never had any doubt that the Goddess wasn’t who she said she was.Finding your Spiritual Path, Today
Today, many people have a harder time finding their path than I did. There is so much information about Wicca that it can get very confusing on where to start; not everyone has a clear starting point as I did. So if you’re one of these individuals, I hope my story will help you understand the calling and give you some guidance in order to find it.
