While I believe in the gods and the great higher force that binds the cosmos I have a hard time understanding the notion of sorcery or magic by human beings especially by those that allegedly practice it.
In many ways through my struggles in life I like to believe that the gods are on my side or that they are somehow looking out for me, but the notion of human beings acquiring divine powers somehow perplexes me into disbelief. Call me a skeptic.
I've always regarded such stories as merely symbolic metaphors or mystical stories instead of a literalist approach that believes there are mystical forces that can be conjured up and controlled by human beings through incantations.
I suppose it's because I am more of a scientific and philosophical kind of pagan follower that influences me to think this way. If anybody can show me another way to approach this I would gladly like to listen to them but until I can find something that invalidates my current belief on this subject I must remain stubborn with my current perspective.
