Hello. My name is Paige and I am 21 years old. Not that I find age important but when making an introduction it feels like an appropriate thing to add.
I am here because I have come to a point in my life where I feel the need to label what I am, who I am, and why I am.
I was born into a family of five in a larger city in Ohio. A mom and a dad and two sisters. Growing up I was baptised into the Catholic church. I spent my childhood in a private Catholic school and every Sunday was spent in church. I never felt like I belonged and I spent most days daydreaming about being anywhere than I actually was. What they taught was not what I believed to be true. I don't want to get much into my past though because I think the past should only be used as a tool to grow and learn.
When I began attending college I took many classes on many different religions both western and eastern. Most seemed to have the same principles. Treat others with kindness. Still I never felt that any of these were "true". I dropped out of college two years in and lost myself. I lived every day with no purpose. With no actual reason to live. I would tell my friends that I am here on this earth because if I did die my mother would be crushed.
Every night I looked to the stars and I saw something I could never quite explain. I felt an energy pulsing threw the stars. I never felt more peaceful than when I was outside looking to the sky.
After hearing about paganism from a friend I wanted to do my own research on the subject. Many people I have read about say that finding paganism feels like "coming home" and I too have felt this homecoming. I am here on this site because I want to communicate with others who share the same knowledge. I want to learn from those who may know more. I want to share in this part of my life and I look forward to doing that with some of you.
I hope you are having an amazing day.
