So, what does this have to do with the Pagan Path? Everything! Coincidence is merely a ghostly remnant of a true spiritual connection with the Earth. So in my mind the owl was destined to fly over the door as I walked out. He had a message just for me. In Native American culture, the Owl seen during the day is a sign of Death. Death is the ultimate change. As I look back upon my life with the knowledge I have now, I can see a pattern that has brought me to where I am. As I read more and gain a larger knowledge base, I see that places I have visited, by chance, have a mystical or spiritual significance. Stonehenge, Glastonbury, Tiintern Abbey, Merlin’s Cave, etc. The list is actually quite long.
I was born in Swansea, Wales. My ancestors are all Welsh. I grew up in Pennsylvania. Our home was in the woods and I spent my days in Mother Natures day care. I was more at home with the trees than I was at home. I learned to read the forest and feel her moods at an early age.I would close my eyes and “see” the feelings of the trees. When I was ten years old, I had to do a composition in school. I picked Egyptian Hieroglyphics.(got an “A”) I had an obsession with the Bermuda Triangle and Modern Magic. I spent many hours on my back watching the night sky for Visitors. All these things were done out of my own mind. My father passed when I was young, my mother worked to pay the bills. I played in the woods.
I believe that the universe is formed from energy and that that energy can be manipulated. I also believe there is no such thing as coincidence or happenstance. I believe in the power of Love and that the Magic it produces can change the world. I believe that innocence is the epitome of spirituality.
I also believe in reincarnation. My soul has been here before and lived in a time before Christianity cast it’s veil over the world. I have loved timelessly and completly and found that Love again. I have visited many places that I already knew when I arrived, without ever having been there before (Stonehenge).
I don’t think I happened upon this Path, I think I have always been on it.
