WitchCraft with Cerinicus

 
    One may wonder, what is witchcraft and why would someone practice a satanic cult. First let me say that witchcraft is not a satanic cult. It is an earth religion that predates Christianity. And in my humble opinion, is the true religion and path that man must take to avoid all the unnecessary violence, wars, and many other things that man could do without.    First, a little about why I chose Wicca as my religion. I was raised in a baptist family that attended church on what some would call an intinerant schedule. You know, the one where you do not spend much time in a church with preachers and such, but are expected to behave in a "godly" manner. There were plenty of times when I would just wonder what the deal was with Christianity and why it was so darn goofy.  I initially discovered Wicca by accident in my high school library and I thought, "Wow, a book on witches.. what a concept!"
    I read this book and it did not make much more since to me than Christianity at the time and so declare myself an atheist. This persisted until I went into the Air Force in 1989. Without some organized religion I felt that I would not be able to get through basic training. So that made me a born again Christian.
    After I got out of the service I once again declared myself an atheist, as that was what always held true for me. I met some friends a few weeks after getting out of basic training that were highly spiritual and believes as I now do that supernatural forces are at work. At first I thought they were hypocrites because they were also practicing Jehovah's Witnesses. Now I don't hafta explain why they and I never discussed religion, but I will. You see, Baptists and Jehovah's Witnesses have radical viewpoints to one another and makes discussing religion down right impossible. But we are still friends so you know how that went.
    Some time after I got internet access, I remembered the word Wicca and proceeded to visit chat rooms with that in their titles. I did not take me long to learn that this really was the chosen path for me. After all, there are so many different paths to follow. And no one pressured me into joining. I just chose a path and got some books to understand more.
    I am still in the learning phase as I have been Wiccan for no more than a year. But then again, doesn't one always learn? For those of you that know me, this should explain quite a number of things and also that I have changed my IRC name from ^Veridian to Cerinicus. That brings us to a hobby of mine called Internet Relay Chat (at least i think that is what it stands for). That brings us to some  links that I think you will enjoy if you are Wiccan or in the neighborhood.
