Looking Back...

2006-04-13T23:35:00.000-07:00

Ok. I've been gone for soooo long...but now i'm back. Not sayin' I'm back for good, but I just want to post these entries--which were written way way back at the beginning of A.Y. 2005-2006. Now, these are four separate entries (written so long ago that I already forgot the exact dates for each of 'em), and the reason I really want to post it here is because three of them are continuations of my "Coming Out of My Broomcloset" entry, posted on June 30, 2005...please note that no alterations were made on them, that I'm posting them the way they were written months ago...ok, here goes.
ENTRY #1

They say yes, I say no; they say no, I say yes—that has almost always been the case with me and my parents. And it’s gotten worse. It’s escalated to a war. Now, I don’t have anyone to lean
on anymore. I’m the only one I‘ve got. Me, myself and i. That’s ok I guess…but what about
financial support??? I know it sounds selfish but if they’re rejecting me, what else can I do? No choice, right? I mean if they don’t need me, I don’t need them too...um, emotionally that is, mind you. But in terms of material things...that’s another story…I want a bright future with or without them. But how will I finish my studies if I don’t have money???????
ENTRY #2
Today, they were asking for yes, and I said yes. It's only ME who knows what THAT REALLY
means… I’ve got to do my self-initiation ritual, ASAP….URGENT!!!!!
ENTRY #3
I just realized, I can’t do the ritual without my candles, incense, and other stuff…
ENTRY #4
I am sooo stupid. My prelim sched for today (aug. 18) is for my math and Philo. Exams. And I didn’t study for math…the nerve! Ok, so I did get satisfactory scores in our quizzes…I was able to answer most, if not all, assignments given to us by that…that toad. I always got the correct answers to our exercises…I pay attention to our “discussions”…and I understand the lessons. I know I did…and I do…otherwise I wouldn’t have passed those quizzes. I mean I got a 49/60 and a 31/40, while most everyone in our class got 20/40s…so you can imagine my shock when I received the test papers and got a real good look at the questions. I honestly don’t know where that midget –Kermit of a woman picked all those test items up…grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!

oh great. a GOTHIC angel. haha.

You scored as Angel. Angel: Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree. They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion. They live among humans without being seen. They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching. Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost. They would love nothing more then to reveal themselves, but in today's society, this would bring havoc and many unneeded questions. Give thanks to all things beautiful, for you are an Angel.

You scored as Buddhism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism. Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider becoming Buddhist, if you are not already.

In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth.

2005-06-30T11:16:00.000-07:00

i thought college is my biggest challenge. i was wrong.

i've been studying wicca for almost three years now. been practicing it in secret. i've built an altar to honor the Earth, inside my room, away from the prying eyes of my parents. i thought i could keep it that way...a secret. i thought i could make it.

i was wrong. very wrong.

for the last few weeks before the start of the academic year, i had been planning for my devotional month and my self-initiation into the Craft. but something didn't feel quite right. so i kept putting it off. instead i busied myself with the theories. then i had to go to college and so i lost time for my Craft--and left my books on my altar, frozen in time.

i know, i am careless. scatterbrained. burara.

last wednesday, my whole life changed.

i was discovered. by my parents. af all people.

at first my my mom was so subtle about it. she never asked me directly about all those wiccan books, all the papers, the salt, the incense, the rose petals...instead she just kept interrogating ate Sheh. she knows how close we are. i tell ate sheh practically everything. she listens, she understands.

ate Sheh didn't betray me. she was the one who warned me, my informant. and so i knew what was coming. only thing is, i didn't want to admit it.

the next day, i arrived home, from school. my mom was home--she didn't go to work which usually means bad news. i ignored the fact. i went straight to my bedroom just like i always do.

but when i got in...

it was not my room anymore. it wasn't mine.

my altar's gone. my books were gone. everything's gone. my identity was being denied, forcibly being changed.

i am unwanted; they rejected my faith. my person was violated.

of course i cried. shed some tears--oh ok--a LOT of tears. i couln't believe waht was happening to me.

i dropped my bag on the floor, stood at the middle of my room and cried. i had both of my hands covering my face; i cannot bear to see my sanctuary stripped of its essence. it used to be the only place where i can perfectly be myself but now... i can't reconize it anymore. IT doesn't recognize me anymore.

when i ran out of tears, i was able to think again and reflect.

that's when the reality of my situation fully hit me: i have to come out of the broomcloset--NOW. there is no other way. i will have to go out and show my true colors to the whole world.

well, ok, not the whole world. just my parents.

you there. yes, YOU! the one reading this! do you know how big a responsibility that is? coming out into the open and declaring my true faith? huh?

well? IT IS. it's so big, it's overwhelming and weakening.

sure i'm proud of my faith, but i have to admit i am not yet ready. i'm just beginning. i just new to the Craft. my knowledge is not enough for me to defend Wicca.

but what choice do i have? i'm trapped.

the question is...where will i get the courage to stand up for what i believe in and try to make my parents see right?

my challenge

right...xo..today's the first day of June.. and i've been living the college life for already 2 weeks and 3 days... i've incurred 2 tardies, been through 2 quizes (1 anounced the other surprise) and spent approximately 51 hours stealing snoozes on board the San Agustin...been to the library twice, got lost searching for my classroom twice, and used my 2-day-old digital id also twice. i've accumulated about a million new friends (although my old ones, i still communicate with), and had eaten with them every lunch period, went to the c.r. with them in between classes...college is ok, college is good, college is better, college is best, college is....a challenge. a huge, big, colossal challenge. and i feel privileged that i am given this chance to go through it...and i will. i will beat all the odds. someday, i'll walk through the doors not of the Science bldg...but through the doors of the Medicine bldg..hihi...someday...all my dreams in life will be realized. the Force is within me. i can do any thing. *)

i am

I am a seeker of truth…
I am a seeker of balance…
I am a seeker of healing, of love.

I am seeker of harmony.
And yet—ironically—In my quest for accord,
I have to break traditions.

..To tread on the Path less traveled
And blaze trails on my chosen Path…
For all the world to see…and even follow.

And so by the Force
That is within me…

I shall endure whatever stigma
I will receive.

As I declare eternal devotion to my Goddess

So Mote It Be!

…I am a seeker of truth
…I am a seeker of balance
…I am a seeker of healing, of love, and of harmony…

I am a Wiccan.
I am…Ymogene.

my broomstick

right. so. six days ago i finally bought the book of my dreams. seriously. i went to the bookstore just to buy some glue and felt paper but then, i saw this book called " Where to park your broomstick" by Lauren Manoy...and i thought "great! this is just what i need to help me in my 'chosen path'"..so i bought it...

ok. so i DO want to be a witch. can somebody please tell me what's wrong with that? oh, i know, iknow. i know that the word 'witch' can really freak people out on a fundamental level. it reminds people of crazy, cackling old hags with oozing warts and funky houses made of gingerbread where small children are lured and then stuck in an oven (WTPYB pg. 4).

but hey. you guys, real-life witches aren't like that at all! Wicca ain't all about casting spells on your enemy to turn him into a toad.

soooooo not.

wicca is the worship of nature and everything in it. a wiccan (a witch in other words!) reveres nature and every living being. a witch respects others. a witch strives to be in touch with his Inner Self, to be in harmony with himself...so that he can be in harmony with others....as mushy and cheesy as it may sound.

and because wiccans are nature buffs, you can expect that many of them are Greenpeace supporters, and are vegetarians.

ok so, Wiccans ARE weird. i AM weird. the bottomline is that We ain't BADpeople. and we aren't Cannibals or Satanists, for cripe's sake!!!
