Rethinking Rituals, Spirituality &more October 13, 2011

I have been trying really hard to bring rituals, meditation and such back into my life lately. Before I was married I practiced a lot. But, after hubby came along life just kinda too over. Adjusting to married life, moving, and so much more, i had a hard time fitting it in like I use too. I have felt guilty that I was letting it slide. Like I was calling myself a Witch but I wasn’t following through with it.

Well, I recently took the time to do a ritual. One I haven’t done in awhile. It so didn’t feel right. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I’ve been beating myself up for not making time to do rituals and such, and figuring out the ones that felt right to me.

Well, I was reading an article today, called Rethinking Rituals from a blog called The Deepest Well and OMG! It was an eye opener. It was like she pulled the words and thoughts right out of my head. “The pressure was lifted. I simply allowed myself to honor seasonal celebrations in a way that was meaningful for me.”

Why have I been spending all this time forcing myself to do things one way, only because I’m being told thats how its done or I’ve read thats how
its done, when I should have been doing it my own way? Why do I fight what I am truely ment to be? Its so easy to get caught up in society and everything around me.

After reading the blog post it was like this big light went off in my head. I need to make changes in my life. I need to take control of my life. I need to stop letting society and other people control my life. I need to let it be guided by the goddess 100%. My one true Mother.

Stayed tuned for more changes in my life as I learn to lead a truely Goddess Lead Life.
