Yes, I do. It was the only faith I could really understand. I've been a witch for about 10 years, and learning everyday. Is there something you were wanting to know? I'm finding much of what Tolle is saying is what we are taught in wicca. And it harm none, do as you will. Blessed Be

I was born and raised Catholic, and 12 yrs ago I searched for a deeper meaning. I found I disagreed with a great deal of the Catholic teachings, and I was fearful or bewildered much of the time. I've been Wiccan and a witch & reiki healer for the past 10 yrs and find that most of what Tolle states is the basis of my faith as well. I really liked how Tolle stated that it matters not what religion you are, if we all go deep, it has the same premise. I do believe in that statement. I mean, afterall, aren't we all trying to have our best life?

As a Wiccan our only rule, so to speak, law if you may, is "harm ye none" and shouldn't that be the way anyway?

I've called myself a recovering Catholic! Since I have started the pagan path things just make more sense, and I am a much calmer person for it.

Ive been following the pagan path for 7 years. It has helped me be more open to all religions, so lately i havent been considering myself any religion, as i love things about all religions I have looked into. I find that they all teach the same basic principals, and promote the ultimate truth of love and peace, but use different tools to teach this message. So I just learn these basic principals of life in whatever way resinates with me best. I must say that the pagan, earth based ways are my favorite.

Yes, we get the joy of Spirit, present in all faiths, without the guilt that I have found with the more fundamental faiths. I can wake each morning with the knowledge that today is a new day, embrace all that is around you. Even the things that can cause you strife, all things have a reason and a lesson.

Don't know if we are over the moon, but I for one, have danced under a full moon! And "it harm none", sort of sounds like the Golden Rule, doesn't it. Treat others as you would have others treat you. And above this, love one another. Blessed Be

In February of last year I didn't even know what the word divination meant. I was born Catholic but didn't feel I belonged or really even wanted to but I wanted to be closer to God. In February I remeber going into this "occult" book shop wanting to learn everything but was scared to learn anything that was against God. It's a long long story....but things started to change. I started studying angels and now crystals, have a small collection that I wear often and just last week I was given a smokey quartz transmitter crystal as a gift. It has a beautiful inclusion on the front that is shaped in the sign of the cross and the colors of a rainbow. I hzave Crystal Ally cards that I consult regularily. I started meditating this summer with the sunrise (I have done it about 1/2 dozen times, with amazing occurances) I took my REIKI level one in November and am going through an amazing awakening process that JK Rowling would love to write about. Right now I belong to no particular faith or path. Where can I get good solid information about Wicca?

Sounds like you are on you way as far as information goes, but any bookstore will carry books on Wiccan, plus the internet, you can get a lot of info there, but be forewarned, there are a lot of angry Wiccan's out there also, they need to read ANE, and remember to be kind to one another.

Actually, you need not go to an occult store to find books on Wicca, or neo-paganism....You can find them anywhere, at Barnes and Noble. Any bookstore.

And as far as "us" wiccans being over the moon...I love what happycrone said, I too have danced under the moon. But I don't where anyone gets that Wiccan's don't believe in God...WE do. It's the "devil" we don't believe in....God is everywhere, just as Tolle says lol...

What I love about Wicca most is we don't feel the need to defend our outline our faith, nor do we cram it up someone's nose lol...We simply "be".....

Well said Leemoran, we don't believe in Hell either. But yes we do believe in God,(Goddess) at least most of us. I think the lesson Tolle spoke about getting in touch with nature, said the most to me. How many times I have sat with a tree at my back and just felt the presence of the tree, from the roots to the crown. Blessings

MM ANE peeps!

I don't define myself as Wiccan except to best explain myself quickly. I've been a hedgewitch for 20ish years now up here in Canada's frozen Ontario wasteland! Hopefully we'll soon be able to participate in the live ANE classes, but love the book. I love how it's about us ALL on different paths toward a common end. Yup. We may all be on different paths, be we've all got ego!
