What's Your Witchy Background?
I've always believed in magic. All the books I can remember reading as a young child revolved around magic: The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lord of the Rings, Andre Norton's Witchworld series. When I was about 8 or 9 I was introduced to Greek and Roman "mythology" in school and was fascinated. I read everything I could find on the subject. By the time I was 10 I wanted to be a High Priestess when I grew up. I strained my little brain trying to use my "powers."
About this same time I became the victim of severe bullying at school. I was called a witch and a satan worshipper. The hatred that was directed at me was violent and painful and I became terribly depressed. Within a couple of years I had lost my way, but still always hoped for my faith to return. I believe in mysterious ways and am glad to this flower is beginning to bloom again.
