About Labyrinth
Expertise I can answer all questions regarding natural spirituality and being a pagan. Being Wicca, Golden Dawn, Shamanist, whatever...is like saying you're Lutheran or Baptist. They are all forms of paganism and all based on natural spirituality. I am Romani (gypsy) and part Lakota (American Indian) and I was raised in natural spiritualism. I am a life path counselor for my group, a ritualist, and a spell weaver. Most of my work consists of guiding people on how to find spiritual peace in a very chaotic material world. Ask me anything.
Experience Romani and Lakota by blood and raised in the old traditions.

Question My friends are trying to get me to be a Wicca but i don't know what it is about. I have always been a very supernatural person and love witchcraft so this is an interesting thing for me. I would also like to know, a lot of weird and unexplainable stuff happen to me, the people around me, and just all of my surroundings. It is things like people getting shoved into walls if I look at them and no one else is around. Another weird thing is when i leave school and I am furious the wind picks up and it starts to cloud up almost instantly and thunders a bit. Also when I came out of the middle of a meditation and I was on the floor, I fell from about a foot in the air. I am a little scared and I just want some answers so I am not in the dark about it.
Answer You do not have to choose to be WICCAN. It is like choosing to be Baptist. You can believe in God without joining a church. So it is with natural spiritualism. Study all the various crafts and pick and choose what parts of each feel good to you.
The main parts are this...we believe that the power of the universe rests in nature. We take power from animals, plants, gem stones, candles, etc. We believe the one power of the universe shows itself in many names and faces which is why we are considered pagan...which just means we think there is more than one way to see God. We believe in reincarnation. We believe in Karma. We believe that we have the ability to make changes in our world by magick, which is a way of bending the energy around us. We are open minded and accepting and believe that love makes the world go around.
