Many years ago I picked up my first wiccan book and after just a few pages, I thought I had found the path. I think subconsciously, I had been looking for a spiritual path for a long time. But it soon became apparent that wicca was not one single path, there are so many traditions and ways of practising, so I studied hard to find which was best for me. But eventually, I realised that everyone has there own path to walk, now I walk that path.
But this post is not really about paths in terms of a spiritual metaphor, it is about actually walking, which in itself is spiritual. There is a highly magicakal and spiritual reason that path is the metaphor. For pagans in general and wiccans especially getting out into nature is very important. In my opinion the most important thing. Walking alone, along a path that is not so often walked, opens you to the Goddess and God. It places you into nature, where you can feel your place within the natural world. I have been lucky to have met a lot of good teachers and read many good books. But I have learnt more from walking alone through the woods
Recently I took a walk alone, along a path that had recently been introduced to me. The four pictures are of places I stopped along the path, that spoke to me in a spiritual and personal way. Each confronting me with something to consider and ponder. They were all empowering in different and profound ways. For me sacred, in fact the last was a sacred site of a different spiritual path than my own, but it was still happy to teach me it's special magick.
