hkellickIt's been a while since I've written again, I know...I'm a slacker or something...
So, what's going on in my life?
Well, I went to the Taste of Buffalo yesterday. Lots of fun. Blew $30 on it, but was stuffed all day and tasted a lot of great food from shrimp marinara to shephard's pie. It was lots and lots of fun :)
So, in other words.. I dunno if I'd call it a religious identity crises, but I'm seriously asking me if I'm really a witch. I don't do any ceremonies, though I do believe in the same beliefs as most modern wiccans. On the other hand, it seems like the ranks of wiccans are being filled with women sick to death of a patriarchal religion (mostly christianity) and seek not balance, but to find a women's only religion (which IMHO, is NOT what wicca is about..)
So, I keep asking myself what I wanna do. I considered Zen... and, though, I do like some of the Zen beliefs, I dislike their whole idea that to reach enlightenment you should give up your Self to become part of the cosmic whole. That once reaching Nirvana, you cease individuality and become part of the whole...Blah.
On the other hand, I just took This Test and was declared 100% Neo-Pagan based on my beliefs. Not necessarily Wiccan, though.. just Neo-Pagan. Hmm. I dunno.
Oh well... can't think of anything else spectacular. I'll just close this thing up.
