My f*a*i*t*h is like a glass h-a-l-f ~ e_m_p_t_y

And my life is like a glass overfloweth. No time or energy.

I have finally come to the point in my life where I question my faith, and choose my path for myself.

Raised pagan. I have been a nonpracticing pagan for too long now, and I seek to broaden my horizons, and find what truly resonates with me.

My faith has been slowly waning, and I'm uncertain and unstable. Those of you who are willing teachers of your own faith, I will listen. Mostly, I am aware this is a soul-search that must be done alone... but I am open to the teachings of anyone who would direct my gaze to a new possibility.

In the meantime, the first religion I seek to learn about and am considering outside of Wicca... is Catholicism. Don't ask. I don't know why. e.e;

That's todays update, then.

Catholicism doesn't surprise me at all, m'dear. The ritual has much the same flavor that you grew up with as well as being the only Xian religion that has a major female icon of worship.

May I suggest also looking at Episcopalianism as well? There's less of the blind-faith thing going with the Episcopalians.

Go and explore. Most worship centers are happy to have you (though they'll *all* try to recriut you) and explain what you may not understand.

good luck, honey!

That's actually what eccentric_alex suggested to me when I mentioned the idea. (After her initial reaction, that is.)
Thank you for the support. I think you are one of the first people who hasn't done a complete double-take and asked "WHY?!?!?" at first mention.

I've gotten a lot of skeptical "This has something to do with that new boyfriend of yours, doesn't it..." from Gary, and the like. I haven't bothered to mention it to my mother yet, and probably won't until I've finished scouting around and have made a choice. She doesn't keep up with LJ much anymore.

I have a feeling "Be whoever you want to be" really only extends so far with her, ne? It's what I was raised to believe, was that I could be who and what ever I wanted.. but with an expectation that that be someone unique and out of the ordinary. ♥ But I'm an adult, and smart enough to make my own choices and know what I want. She doesn't know about my dating someone online either, and that she won't for as long as I can avoid mentioning it. I know her opinions on it, and I don't care to have them reiterated at me in such condescending tones.

I miss you guys. You most of all. I was considering piano lessons sometime soon, and realising that you are really the only person who wouldn't drive me nuts to learn from. *Laughs.* I'll try to post more often, get all of these thoughts down and out here for everyone to keep up with. Mm, sounds like it's time for a post now, actually. So I'll leave the reply at its already lobng-winded state, and go post. Love you!
