I know you have said that in order to understand paganism and such, that you have to study it and practice it and that there's no way to really specifically tell you what to do. But I don't understand how the hell to get into studying or understanding it when i don't know anything about it. I don't know how to begin at all. I was wondering what you guys have done to get a good grasp on the concept and such. Because i don't even have a question to ask, because i don't know what to ask. You know. I'm very lost but i'm interested in this. Thanks in advance.
Smoke weed. Listen to it. Don't tell it where to go, or what to do. Let it guide your thoughts, let it take your body. This is the first step. Observe. See what is around you. Notice the wind, notice the temprature, notice the clouds, the stars, the grass, the trees. Begin to learn their names, understand where it is they belong in nature. Deepin your observation, and begin to see why everything is where it is, and what is is doing, and what other things are doing to it... Then look at things like humans, virus', and bacteria. Realize that this is the category we fall in. We are a parasite, we gain from other beings loss. The earth, the animals, the vegetation. The more it loses, the more we gain. Then realize where YOU belong. Are you purely part of the human parasite, or do YOU have a place in the Earth as well... Once you begin to find your place, you will begin to understand. And always remember. Questions are the best answers. Don't EVER seek an end... Yesterday is not right now, and today is not tomorrow. Livin for the moment? Then your time's already borrowed...
My first step was research. I read everything I could get my hands on. Since I'm poor as shit, that was mostly online stuff... so everything I could get my cyber hands on. I do own a few books, but they've been a big disappointment for me, a lot of stuff that is just not my truth. That would be my best advice, though. Read, read, read. Then you will have better ideas about where to go from there. Check out some of the free schools that are on the web. Just fair warning, the ones that I've found lean heavily on Wicca, if that is not your chosen path you may find a lot of it useless.
Yes I agree! Research online is definately a good place to start. You can look up various sites related to Wicca and Paganism. That's what I did when I started. I also started meditating. Makes your mind quiet and allows you to feel subtle energies around you. As you read and practice your meditation you will slowly get a feel for what its all about. It's a gradual learning process though, after 10 years of reading and learning about it I still discover lots of new things I didn't know before! Good luck with it all.
