Sifting Though

I have read a lot of books on Wicca, from the “classic” Wiccan texts by Cunningham, Farrar, and Frost along with some “newer” stuff by V. Crowley, Grimassi, Lipp, Sylvan, etc.  There is so much to learn from these authors, and I seem to learn new things every time I re-read these books. Some ideas don’t speak to me like they used to, because I feel that I have grown beyond the concepts, but then sometimes I re-read something it will have a whole new meaning for me. This is why I love my religion! And I think this really speaks to the “mystery” part of a mystery tradition!

Of course, it’s time like these that I really wish that I had a coven or a circle to help me grow.  I feel like I have a lot to share with a group, but I feel like I could really achieve a deeper understanding of the Universe if I had a group that I could trust enough to grow with me. I will be honest, I have had some great group experiences, but I have also felt the sting of unhealthy boundaries and nasty rivalries within a circle. I think I have grown from both those experiences, but I still don’t think I am ready to commit to a new group just yet. I guess I will have to wait until the Gods give me a sign

In the meantime, I’ll just keep banging away at these keys and sifting through my thoughts in the blogosphere.
