#BLCG Greetings Challenge

Hi, I am new to this community! I have decided to try out this challenge as my first post here. If anyone wants to chat about anything feel free to message me.

How did you discover your path and how long ago was this?

Finding my path began when I stumbled upon Greek Myth. I was in middle school, which was 9 years ago. I began recording and soaking up as much knowledge as I could get from the internet, library books, and the occasional movie or documentary on the history channel. I was very much in the closet about my fascination.

How has your path evolved since your journey began?

Well, I am no longer in the broom closet. My practice has actually moved away from as muc research and studying the foundations of my beliefs and more so to the actual practice. I have to it I was a bit excited at first and I did cast come random spells, but after lack of or I'll results, as well as some successes, I decided to build a nice foundation for my practice to branch out, and so it has.

Have there ever been times you felt like giving up your path?

I struggle with mental health issues including extreme depression and anxiety, and I do tend to take "breaks" from my practice when I become less motivated or too stressed. Now that I've become more conscious of my mental health, I am able to recognize my substances and always come back and even use my practice to gain confidence and restore hope.

What do you think has been the biggest motivation for you?

The biggest motivation for my practice has always been science. I see magick as important as science. I want to learn and explore the different branches of magick. I love the healing effects and other positive consequences magcik has for myself and others

Who has been the biggest influence to your path?

The biggest influence on my path has been my ever changing and ever expanding mind. My brain is constantly changing and adapting to my environment and my will, which I try to douse in as much light and love I can. The eclectic path has allowed me to explore so much and influences my decisions.

What is the most significant discovery you have made about yourself?

The most significant discovery I've made is empathy. I am an empathetic and from my journey so far. I've learned to love and connect with others in ways I never exprinced before. This empathy has made me more self aware and has opened doors to self acceptance, love, and over all understanding.

How has your spiritual path changed your life?

Hell yeah. Before my path began, I was so unsure of everything. Withcraft Andy experinces with all types of magick have made me who I am. I would not be this open, empathetic, free person without my path. I mean it is possible I would find a path to achieve spiritual enlightenment ( which I'm still working on), but I think without the path I took, it would be much different.

What are your core spiritual beliefs?

I would describe my core spiritual belifs as a string that is tied to every soul. All things that have souls are bound together in some way. We are all equal. We all have energies that can be represented in many ways, and I choose to use these represntstions to better my physical and spiritual life.

What are your core spiritual practices?

My practices are quite eclectic and ever changing. I do not have any set in stone practices, but I feel I may eventually. I think right now, and for a while longer, I need to experience the magickal aspects of life to find my own groove that is set in stone.
