During my study of the old ways I have learned many things about myself and the people around me. I have learned that not everyone is who he or she may seem to be to people. Everyone has a skill, whether it is meditation or divination. Mine happens to be dreams and interpretation as well as reading people. The human mind is something I can tap into very easily I feel for the first time I actually know who I am. I finally know what kind of person I am and what I'm all about. The beliefs and ideas are something I will never get bored learning about.

My main fear is that someday my parents wont be proud of me, only ashamed. I don’t know why this bothers me but yet in the back of my mind it bothers me. I don’t want to be someone my parents are ashamed to call their daughter. I feel like sometimes they do, when I do something wrong or I don't do well at something. I know its not true but it's something that will always be in the back of my mind. My general goal is to make people proud of me. No matter what it takes I want them to be proud to associate with me and call me their friend, daughter. My magickal goal is to learn more about dreams and the astral planes, and maybe a little Egyptian magick.

The nonconformity of this religion is what gives people the wrong idea about it, and none of them take time to study about it or even acknowledge it's even there. Ignorance is the only word for those people and it's depressing that so many don't want to take the time to correct their ignorance, they go through life like ignorance is OK. This religion is beautiful and many of the ideas are amazing and it makes me wonder why people think of this as such an “evil” thing to have in their society. Going through day to day I see more people with this ignorant attitude still. It is just something I will have to deal with and get over. This time has taught me many things. I know now that this religion is not evil and nor are any of the practices of it. I’ll admit before I knew anything about this religion or it's beliefs I thought it was evil. I know now that was nothing more than ignorance on my behalf. Before I even thought of becoming pagan I was more atheist than anything else and I was unhappy with that, I felt unfulfilled and now after my dedication I feel comfortable and content finally, I know this was the right choice for me.
