I'm interested in witchcraft, always have been, but I can't completely jive with certain disciplines due to the fact that I don't believe in gods and goddesses as actual personified beings living somewhere in the elements, but moreso believe in our our own innate power to make things manifest from universal life-force energy. I believe thoughts are actions that set certain things in motion. However, like attracts like, and intentions we put out towards others may find their way back to us. I can see how deities can represent intentions but I can't fall into league with actual deities belief/worship.

I've always wanted my very own book of shadows, have wanted to write little spells and create my own charms and sigils, but solely for the purpose of visualization. I think that is what it all boils down to, personally. No sky daddies and mommies. Maybe I could even publish it but doubt the community would be interested due to it not being "official" or "sincere" etc... All in all, there are no rules when it comes down to it. Inputs?

There aren't any rules and I feel it's a very personal path, custom to the individual. I claim the label of a natural born witch and it has been nothing short of wonderful to embrace that part of me, that goes back in my ancestral line as well. I was never really into the Wicca and newer practices, but lean more towards the Old Ways and the spirit of traditional witchcraft as it relates to embracing nature.

It's good that you feel a connection to this path for yourself. Just follow what feels right and natural to you. :-)

Awesome, thanks for commenting. While I can get snippits here and there, wicca doesn't resonate with me. I would be similar in being more attracted to the old ways, healers, etc..
