Merry meet, I am called blue by many, I am a complex person in many ways. I am creating this blog so that I can better express myself and to change the world as we know it. The title for my blog is important to me. I am a pagan, which is a follower of the old ways of honoring the earth and the many cycles of nature. There are many paths to take in Paganism, I am following a Celtic Recon/Druid path. Robert Frost in 1920 wrote a very interesting poem that best describes my journey. Two roads diverge in the wood, and I took the road less traveled, and it made all the difference. Life is not about the destination, it is about the Journey. I could easily try to fit in with everyone else, but then I would be unhonest with myself.
I have a love for history, and with that love I have read some sad tales of events past. Years ago where history tells us of men that killed and plundered his fellow man for self gain. A time of which a group of people used power to abuse and control those less fortunate. I have decided to stand as a man against the driving wind and rain. Nothing changes in history until someone says no. Where no man will say no against the odds, I will stand. I see so many other pagans run at the sight of anger and hostilities, but I shall draw a line in the sand and hold my place. I feel as if I am Gandalf at the bridge against the Balrog. With my Staff in my hand declaring "You shall not pass!!"
I see many battle for the pagan community from outside and from within. This way of life for me doesn't make me the popular person, I will easily get a list of those that do not like me. But that doesn't matter. If something is of value to you then you must stand up for it. You can't allow others to take what you hold dear. I stand against the Abrahamic religions and thier actions. I am told that I am as bad as they are. But I am not, I can't let these abrahamic religions go unchecked, You can't be nice to a group that thinks the world should follow thier god only. I am told to let it go by those pagans that try to surround themselves with only positive love and light. In these people I see no balance and no strength. Life is full of good and bad events, and if you can't handle the small stuff, you can't handle the larger issues. But there are the rare pagans out there that understand life and live in balance of light and darkness. With these people, when they see my actions and respect me. I would rather have one person's respect, than have 2 peoples friendship. Respect is earned, it is not given.
I believe that the day you stop learning you stop living. So part of my Journey is to learn as well. I also work as a teacher. My blunt style has caused many ripples in communities, but I do make people think, and isn't that what is important. I am blunt, honest, lacking the finesse, and somethings just cranky, but that is the way that I am. I call myself an asshole, Adept Stoic Sentient Homosapien Obtaining Logical Education.
