I am a Pagan (more specifically, Wiccan ) woman living in a small home on a couple of acres halfway up a mountain in Western North Carolina, with cats, bees, chickens and a big garden. I am part of a larger community of Earth Religionists, those whose paths to Spirit are based in communion and interaction with the sacred Earth. We are of many different religions and spiritual paths, but we share a knowledge that the Earth and the Web of Life upon it are sentient beings. We know we are all inextricably connected with that Consciousness that informs and creates all that is manifest, and so we are conscious partners in creating the world we experience. The Consciousness of which I speak has been called Goddess, God, Source, Brahman, All That Is, Dryghten, Tao, and by many other names. Personally, I prefer Tao.
What we have collectively made manifest is a world in which science is held hostage to materialistic determinism that is sourced in a fear of the unknown and uncontrollable. This fear blocks us from knowledge of the path that truly leads to change for the better – the realization that Consciousness creates the reality we experience, and we are all part of that greater Consciousness. So what we DO is not the only – or even the most effective – way in which we manifest reality. What we think, feel, believe and experience affects and changes the world around us every minute of every day. Changing our minds is the first step to changing our world.
Here's a link to an article that will tell you more about me and my philosophy. My first blog post, here, explains why I started this blog.
