I would like to give anyone who happens by this site a little bit of information about myself.  I am no different from the hoards and masses out there that have been on a path toward spiritual development, many starting on one path and finding their way to another, as I have.

I was raised as a Catholic and brought up in a strict Mexican-American Catholic family where Sundays were spent in mass and my kindergarten through at least 4th grade years were partially spent in catechism.  We celebrated all the traditional Catholic holidays, and observed many, not all, of the traditions. 

However, from a very young age, I always felt that something about the Catholic religion wasn't quite right for me.  I was never comfortable with it.  I didn't agree with the idea that God should be feared, or that guilt, thousands of years of it, should be the basis for my beliefs.  At the same time, I always felt a deep connection to the earth, animals, and, strange as it sounds, spirits of people and things departed.  I have always believed in magick--something I will speak further of later.

As a teen, I was intrigued by the whole mystery of paganism.  When I 14, I told my mother I was going to study witchcraft and was chastised for such a blasphemous idea.  At that point, my parents having so much influence on my reality, I quickly relented...but I never let go of the fact that I knew that this was more along the right "path" for me.

Eventually, I stopped going to church, first finding as many excuses as possible to stay home--many a Sunday's were spent "sick" in bed.  As I grew older, parental grasp loosened and I eventually stopped going altogether.  And frankly, I didn't feel any emotional, spiritual or physical loss.  It was then that I knew that Catholicism just wasn't for me.

Years later, as an adult, I was searching for something more in my life, and that is when I began to study paganism and earth spirituality.  I have read many books and briefly studied many traditions.  After a lot of time and reading, I have found what is right for me.  I have become, by self-definition, a solitary eclectic witch. 

This is where I am right now on my journey.  I am still learning, exploring, sharing, and shaping my spiritual self.  It is, by all senses of the word, a journey.  It is hard sometimes, but fulfilling always. 

If you have found this place in the process of your own journey, may you find the light and guidance you seek, and may your own needs be met.

So mote it be!

If you are interested in learning more, please, come right in!
