A lot of change

garden_pixieIt's Sunday and we are off removing the fall decorations from my house and putting up wintertide / yule decorations. We are moving the TV into another spot which is giving us a lot more window space to enjoy the outdoors. This is where the christmas tree will go for the season and then the space is all mine!
This year I opted not to fight christmas coming and embrace it as best as I can. Usually I am frustrated with how early it came. This year, it is what it is and I plan to bloom where I am planted.
The changes inside for me are wicked this year. First, I have formally left Wicca as a religion. This time has been very good for me, Wicca helped me connect with my power in a way that Christianity wasn't able to do for me. I don't think that I will ever go back into Christianity, but I am standing in a place closer to monasticism. I feel more universally inclined and want to engage that dynamic more fully. If I believe universally, I want to support that rather than one sect.
I have been very loyal to my craft and to my covens and now I feel like I have to be loyal to me and where my conscience really is. I plan to continue with my SOL studies because they are not faith based and I believe in that work. I am going to continue with my Sufi studies because they are in the same vein as my personal faith even though I don't see myself as relating to Islam directly or Muhammad as a prophet. However, the idea of God being just that, neither male nor female, The Yes / No aspect of the universe. This makes sense. My practice is towards opening up more and hopefully this will widen my awareness and increase my compassion and openness to God and to humanity.
I am working on the healing space upstairs to make it into a functional space for me to meditate.
Anyway, I have to run to help Jason and Shon move the TV! Blessed Winter to you all!
