So you’re a pagan? Why?

I was raised Christian. But as various Christian teachings didn't work for me intellectually, I came to the realization that I didn't believe in them. I did believe in something, I just didn't know what it was. Growing up in the era of Star Wars, the best way I could describe it to people is that it felt to me like "the force". But I couldn't identify IT. So I always considered myself to be agnostic.

Along the way, as I've mentioned in previous posts, I was exposed to pagan practices and beliefs and suddenly IT just clicked for me. I'd always felt the power in the wind, the serenity by the sea, the majesty of the earth, and the energy of fire. I loved being in the elements and suddenly an earth-based spirituality just made sense to me. The more I learned, the more I was convinced that the thing I believed but couldn't identify before was pagan. And now wicca is the particular path I've chosen to pursue.

Thank you to Witches Weekly for the Q&A.

The senior druid for my Grove has spoken about doing a workshop before. And the way she had started discussion was by asking this one question for people to answer, which I thought was amusing and wanted to use for this weeks question.
