I've recently become aware of what it truly means to be Pagan/Wiccan. Before I had my presumptions...such as wiccans are all witches that practice magick, pagans are all nudists who dance around fires worshiping gods/goddesses and spiritualism is all hokey and superstitions made up by people who need something to believe in.
Wow, have I been wrong about so much. "Only when I know nothing can I truly know anything".
This past year has been a real roller coaster for me. It's been a plethora of new experiences, learning lessons and making many mistakes. It's also been a time of great joy, love and enjoyment.
What I do know is that I believe in more than a purely physical existence. I believe in a life after death. I believe death to be simply the next step in our conscious journey. Most of our current life is simply spent trying to find out who and what we are.
I believe that the words we say and what we believe and think affect our reality. Lastly I don't really know anything. I have all these thoughts and concepts on how the world works but really....I have no freakin' clue. Which brings me here.....
I'd like to know everyone's (or at least those willing to respond) perspective on life after death, what they consider to be a part of reality that is not commonly accepted. Now I know there are millions of things that people believe contrary to popular belief. I'm talking about big things. For instance, I have recently come to accept that magic is a part of my life whether or not I believe in it or take part. I also believe we have souls that are eternal and are simply being put into a physical existence in these vessels we call bodies.
Really I guess I'm looking for confirmation. It's the never-ending quest for truth I guess. Let me know what you think though
