Ask A Witch: Mystery Religion in Columbia, MO
Dear Alexandra,
I'm not sure where to go from here and I need some advice. I have a
psychic gentleman I have been speaking too for some time now. He is not
a 800 number he is a believer in the God's and Goddesses and practices
I believe many different things maybe rolled up into one. When I have
spoke to him in the past he has (I believe) been developing me.
It started with meeting him and his readings were very intense and of course
turned out to hit the nail on the head. During our readings he has been
guiding me towards different levels in my spiritualism. Most recently,
I had mentioned that I have dreams that become true within eight hours,
eight days and up to eight months. He told me to meditate and told me
that I have a power along with the Goddess to unleash the dreams and to
pay very close attention to them something on what you dream will
become reality and what reality is you will dream something on those terms.
I have become very spiritual over a few years building and my!
dreams are very frequent although I cannot remember all I know that I
do not sleep much because I am dreaming and only those that are to come
true I remember and those I write in a book to figure out the meanings
as he told me to do.
I'm very confused I come from a Catholic religion
and I believe in God or shall a say a Higher Spirit. I believe in the
Four elements, Mother Nature, Universe and the God's and Goddesses but
believe that there is One Higher Power. Maybe, I'm confused in all of
this. I have also been able to make things happen when angry, such as
things falling off shelves, when happy things can turn out better than
expected. When I ask for help with a specific situation I ask God to
bring me the help or the four elements and Universe direct me or help me.
I'm sorry for rambling on here I'm confused as to what religion I would
belong to is it Wicca or what? I know this isn't being a Catholic by
any means they would shutter to even think I did these things but
I don't feel as if I'm a Catholic anymore. I feel like it is hard to
explain but in tune with nature, a feeling of peace that I have never
experienced before in my life an inner peace that I wish all could
understand and feel as I do. I feel as if I have been lifted and wish that
others could feel the way that I do. So many things have been coming
about since I have made contact with this man. I just don't know which
direction to take or should I continue to focus on the whole I mean
everything that I believe in. It is working for me. I have never done
spells in the way that I have read in some books. When I have needed
things to be done I have meditated and called upon the elements or such
and the it was carried out. I love to help people and I have a good
heart.
I can read all the books out there but still feel like what
religion do I practice or have I found my own? I don't think I feel that
any religion is totally right. Sometimes I feel if we took a piece of
every religion out there we would find the real one. I'm very
open-minded and I listen to everyone and get my own meaning out of it. What do
you think? I hope you don't think I'm nuts or something I'm really
confused. Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Dear MR,
It sounds like you've got a good head on your shoulders! Though that doesn't necessarily describe Wicca, it is not important to assign a label to your religion. No matter how much a person's practices match those in a book, that person will still have their own personal religion. I like to think of religion as its word components. As a "re-linking" to deity. It sure sounds like you're nurturing your relationship with deity just fine. I'm glad you're keeping a dream journal, and I want to impress upon you that much of dreams are merely symbolic. That means that they might not come true to the letter, but rather their events will hold a more metaphorical message about things to come. For right now, it sounds like you should keep exploring your blooming spirituality. Keep doing the things that feel comfortable and right!
Light!
Alexandra
