Faith

For most of my life I have been an unconscious Pagan. I would go to church with my mother and go to spend time with my dad for Jewish holidays but there was always something missing. For most of my life, I was very lost and confused. My mother told me that my Dad was going to Hell and my Dad told me that Judaism is the "true" religion and it is foolish to believe in Jesus Christ. When I went off to college from the ages of 18-20, I have encountered people telling me that there is no such thing as a Higher Power. They say that science needs to prove to me that something exists out there. Did I believe this? No. Does that mean what they believe is wrong? No. I do have friends that claim to be Agnostic or Atheist and I respect what they feel is right. Being pagan to me means that I have freedom. I can choose what I feel is right and nobody can dictate that. Not every pagan will agree with things that I am saying and I respect that too.

I personally believe that all Gods are one whether you are Pagan, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Christian, etc. It really bothers me when people tell me that I believe in false Gods. We are really all the same. For example, I am sometimes scared of walking alone at night. One time I had no choice but to walk somewhere and I just told myself Gods, spirits, and or guardians please keep me safe from harm. When I had that faith, the people who seemed suspicious did not come too close to me and my prayers were answered. This could go the same for a Christian praying to Jesus Christ. I am not bashing Christians, but I have come in contact with some who tell me that they are superior to other religions. I choose the Pagan path because it makes sense to me not because it is superior to other faiths. I find that believing in different Gods ( from the Celtic Pantheon) is personable and very comforting.

I not only worship the Gods but I worship nature and the elements. Whenever I take a walk I can hear the whisper of the trees and it is so soothing. I am also a huge animal lover and respect all creatures. I feel empowered to be Pagan and to be apart of my circle of Pagan friends. When we all do ritual, raise energy and call in elements I feel so alive. It makes me feel like I am not the only one and I can finally be free!

Currently I have been trying to find a job and I did a job finding spell with one of my friends. With intent and faith in our patron Gods everything felt different afterwards. I have faith that your thoughts become things.  We told the universe what we desired and when I went out to go on my job search one of the places I applied to was Chipotle and they gave me a mini-interview on the spot. They liked me so much that they wanted me come back in for another interview. I am expecting a call from one of the managers soon and I am hoping that everything goes well. I know that the goddess Brigid has been helping me out and I am eternally thankful for her being here for me. She has been working in mysterious ways.

Lastly, I am asking for blessings to help me and my friend out to make sure everything goes smoothly with us getting employed. This is very important to us!
