"Wiccan by Nature"

I'm a Wiccan by choice; it's not a conviction, just my decision

I didn't decide to convert because I heard some disembodied voice; I was drawn to it when I was young

I remember 15 years ago now, studying all of the different religious theologies and Greek Mythology; I began to see how they all had a common underlying theme and fit together - even if they won't admit it -with just varying perspectives on how it all worked

Didn't like the Church or the Mosque; the modern sects or the synagogues...

And, I didn't fit in with them anyways,
with my vast understanding of them
all and how they were fundamentally
the same and could be reconciled - which none of them could ever appreciate, or allow in the least -

I'm an old soul who is a free-thinker and open-minded, so I pieced it all together to my liking

In my flesh I carry the stigmata of
this world; it has been quickened
within me and inscribed its death
within my soul

I'm a child of this earth and have
been birthed into its worth; I'm a
part of its sin and everything
therein... it has swallowed
me whole
