I converted to Wicca about a year ago, after a few years of being an agnostic and feeling awfully unfulfilled in the religious/spiritual department. Before that, I was raised Christian, in the broadest and least strict way (eclectic lutherans, I suppose you could say).
I'd felt drawn to the religion my whole life, throughout which little incidents and moments made me think I should look into it, but I wasn't really ready until last year. Once I began to read about the beliefs, I realized that the conclusions I sort of drew for myself over the past years, being spiritually adrift, based on what made sense to me... well, all of it was right here. I was, basically, a Wiccan without realizing it.
It took me a lot longer to be more open about my new faith, and I told myself I would stick to the religious aspects, and not delve into magic. But, of course, magic is a lifestyle, and it's hard to walk the Wiccan path without it in your life. So that didn't last...
It's been about five months since I really began exploring my spiritual being, and though my personal dieties haven't chosen me (no matter, since I have some in mind I'd like to try and seek out) I have recently discovered my spirit/totem/power animal to be the Crow. Hence, the name of the blog. :)
So, long introduction over, welcome to my path. This will be a digital journal/book of shadows, though I have a physical one as well. I may copy some rituals or spells from it here once in awhile, to share the effective ones. Until then, blessed be.
