Thank you for your reply to my last post, Sophia Catherine.  Have had so many problems replying to comments on here that this time I'm just doing it as a fresh blog post, and not even TRYING to do it the other way - too frustrating!!! 

I read your blog post and I totally relate to what you are saying.  I just did a "share on Twitter" (which should also end up on my Facebook page) - hope that is okay - as I thought that it would be good for my friends, family and contacts to read it.

I will email you on PaganSpace at some point.  It would be good to chat some more.  Take care! x

Other blog

Just updated my other blog: http://www.paulap.blog.com/.  I'll come back to this one soon!

New images on www.flickr.com/photos/paulabirds and Facebook (for those of you who are linked to me on FB). 

I'm struggling with health issues right now, so bear with me.

Peace and blessings to you all! x

Rhiannon

I don't know if I did this "right", but I made my first contact with Rhiannon.  It feels right and I needed help, for myself and on behalf of friends.

It feels right.  I feel that she understands.

I asked the moon goddess to help with something specific before, and I felt her presence.  I feel and truly believe that she helped.  It wasn't for me.  It was for someone else.  But, well, I suppose it was kind of for me, too.  Definitely, yes, it was.

Anyway, a friend told me something today, and I have asked Rhiannon to help and bless her.  I have never understood before about the worship of specific deities, not in my heart.  I have believed in both God and Goddess for a long time.  That is why I couldn't continue with the Christian churches, after a certain point.  But this...I don't know...I can't even fully explain the: "Why Rhiannon?" question.  Maybe I shouldn't try.

Blessed be. x

Hi, Sophia Catherine!

Sorry to keep replying in this way, but I can't seem to get it to work the other way.  Your last reply made me laugh, about the water, smoke alarms and church carpets.  I guess that you need to find understanding people to worship with - Pagan and Christian - he, he!!! :-)

Thank you for replying to my PaganSpace email, too.  I think that I sent that before eventually managing to post a reply - albeit as a new post!  I did used to be able to do comments and reply to comments on here, although I don't get that many comments.  Oh well, never mind...Hopefully we'll chat some more.  We seem to have quite a lot in common.

Blessed be. x

So, let me see...

Time for another blog post.  I must admit that I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with some of the practical aspects of having my blogs here on Blogger/Blogspot.  I can't seem to reply to blog posts at the moment, for example...Oh well, we'll see how it goes.  I really don't want to have to give up this blog and start again elsewhere, and I'm not sure that any of the blog providers are ideal.  At least on Blogger/Blogspot, I can share poetry, and the software seems to understand the concept of stanza breaks!!!  And it has the added advantage that most other people who blog seem to be "over here", as it were. 

Anyway, I started "online researching" Rhiannon, the Welsh moon goddess, yesterday.  I feel drawn to her and so that's the direction I've started to go in - just seeing what the search engines find on her...Yes, and I can see aspects of her that I definitely relate to, and in that way, I understand why I am feeling the need to connect with her, on some level.

Blessed be.  Love and peace to you all.  xxx

Reply to comment on my last post...

This is for Sophia Catherine.  Thank you for your comment on my last post.  Blogger won't let me reply.  It keeps making me log in again and...I'm just going around in circles and getting stressed.  I copied/pasted my reply, so I'll try to include it here, as a fresh blog post!!!


Hi Sophia Catherine,
Blogger finally let me sign up to your blog - phew! It is great to connect with you. As I said on PaganSpace, I haven't heard the term "Christopagan" since my Beliefnet days!!! I kind of started out identifying as Christopagan myself. You're dyspraxic, as well? Yeah, honestly, I'd be dangerous with all those candles that most Wiccans and Witches seem to use every five minutes!!! I have a problem with Christianity in many respects, but especially the denial of the female Divine. I wasn't any good with Christian rituals, either. LDS church wasn't too bad in that way, but I used to avoid Communion at C. of E. Church, and I'd be hopeless at Catholicism (just practically)...x
