For years, both Pagans and Christians have been ridiculed, put to death and put to shame by countless of people. However, are we really so different? I first realized I was different while working at Urologic Consultants, in Portland, OR when I saw my first aura. The woman came in for an interview and all I saw was a yellow translucent orb around her. It was almost like a forcefield. I then heard the words “all the color of the rainbow”. God had made everyone in his likeness, in all the colors of the rainbow. He wasn’t talking about skin color, but of our auras, the energy that surrounds everyone. I was in such shock that I wanted to tell someone, but who? Who could I tell that wouldn’t think me crazy? My mom of course. She didn’t teach me the ways of how we’re different, she herself was called a Witch by my own father. However, deep down, she knew one day I would learn. So, as the years of ticked by, I have learned. I’ve learned I can see people’s auras, I can even hear their thoughts if I concentrate, and in some, see their past and on rare occasions, their future. How could all this be if I believed in God? For where I live, the Devil cannot be. Later while entering the Foursquare Church I saw a dove in my mind’s eye and it was revealed to me Jesus’ spirit animal is a Dove. Native Americans and many other religions believe each person has a certain animal representation. Noah used a Raven and a Dove after the flood for evidence of dry ground (Genesis 8:6-12). After Jesus was baptized “…and the Holy Spirit descended on him in a bodily form like a dove…” (John 3:22). Both are an example of symbolism.
Symbolism - the use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities. (Dictionary.com 11/06/17)
Symbolism is deeply rooted in the Christian faith. The wearing of the Cross, the partaking of communion, the burning of candles, the banners and ornaments that some pastors wear during services. In the Catholic faith, priests have taken a vow of chastity since the bible does not directly state Jesus had a wife.
Just as symbolism is deeply rooted in the christian faith, it’s also deeply rooted in the Pagan faith.

“No all who wander are not lost” - this is a famous bumper sticker of pagans. In Genesis 13:3, Abram “went from place to place until he came to Bethel..” (NIV) Where did Christians get the idea that people who wander are lost? The New Testament, however, not all biblical faiths use the New Testament. Some only use the old. The Torah (aka the first 5 books of the bible). I found true North today, downloaded an app on my phone. Walked in a circle giving thanks to God for all that he does. While in my circle I pictured the image of the pagan circle. For He created these, so why can’t I picture them?
Who was Melchizedek, priest of God Most High? He is the first priest listed in the bible (Gen 14:18). According to

Melchizedek is Jesus of the old testament. Hebrews 6:13-7:28 tells us that Jesus is of the line of Melchizedek, who had no father, mother, or descendants.

Decided to place my thoughts here, like Starwitch says, "at least your family won't see it". I've been reading lots of posts on this site and find myself charged with excitement to maybe finally understand myself, but at the same time I hate that I have to do it in secret. Dan (my husband) would never understand, but I feel like I've been slowly killing a part of me by denying my gifts. The druid inside of me is about all I have left and I want to stop denying his abilities. He his name is "Druid" after all. I write here as there is no other safe place for me, Dan would freak if he knew I was feeling this way. All I can do is practice and if he as questions, he needs to come to me with them. I'm just happy to have a safe place to put all my thoughts/feeling without being judged.

Meditation - the first real change I need to make. Setting a time and space for meditation, even just starting out at 10-15 minutes. Working on feeling the the energy around me and grounding that energy. My mind has a tendency to wonder, having a focus will hopefully help. Getting everyone to stay quite or even silently chant in the background. Hmm.. maybe that's why I keep coming up with all these rhymes.
