My Wiccan Evolution 

When I first became curious about God my parents gave me an audiobook on a vinyl LP of The Children's Bible. It was fully illustrated by the way. That album size comic book with so much fun to look at. I immediately fell in love with the story of Joseph and His Coat of Many Colors before I got that special gift I had no idea that dreams have meanings and those meanings could help you solve problems in your life.  Through my dreams I would be warned of upcoming hardship. I believed the warnings came from God. I still believe that.

One of my earliest religious questions was,“Mom, is Jesus God’s wife?” It sounded like a girl’s name to me.  I was five! Mother went on to explain that Christians believed that Jesus was God's son and that we were Jewish even though my religion didn't give God a gender. Over and over again God was referred to as a he I was never comfortable with that.

I do concede that there are strong female role models in the Bible however, I found none with whom I could identify at all.  

 I was also very young when I learned what it meant to pray or more specifically worship a Divine being that was in charge of everything.  I knew very early that my relationship with divinity had two sides, the public one who I put on my best dresses and went to temple for and the private side, of my relationship with the Divine was to whom I said my prayers before falling asleep in the dark. The one who spoke to me through symbols in my dreams.  The One who told me I was meant to be a witch.
