I used to be what would be considered very religious. Catholic by upbringing, now Wiccan by choice. Now before anyone here gets that funny look on their face when they read the word Wiccan, get the Hollywood version out of your head. No, I don't wear a pointy hat or ride a broom or turn people into frogs.

It's beliefs based in the honor and respect of nature and the Universe without the organized religious mumbo jumbo.

Wicca brings out very good clean spirituality. I'm Anti-religion, Pro spiritual & not an athiest.

When asked what my religion is I say, "I believe!"

I'm a Catholic.

I was 'meant' to be Catholic but my grandmother turned her back on it in her youth after disagreeing with a priest, so I wasn't actually brought up in the religion. A lot of it is still strange to me. My mother re-discovered Catholicism a few years back, felt completely at home with it, and I joined her in converting because I felt it made more sense to me than Protestantism (which I was before).

I used to be pretty interested in paganism when I was a teenager because of my love of nature, so I'm familar with Wicca. It certainly is a beautiful religion.

I'm pretty liberal in my beliefs and private about them, like most in my country (religion is kind of seen as a peculiar hobby, like trainspotting), but I do have quite strong personal beliefs, and fall more in love with Catholicism the longer I practise it. It's nice to finally feel comfortable spiritually.

I was always taught that you never question someone's religion. Not that you can't ask them about it but you NEVER question their beliefs. If you question their beliefs and they start to question them, it can cast a spirit of doubt and that is never good.

We all need something to believe in. What that is doesn't matter as long as we truly believe.

I'll be taking some sort of psychic classes this fall. I'm waiting for a course description to be posted. I've hit a point in my life where I want to take this to the next level. What 'this' is, I have no clue but I'm going for it. It should be fun.
