gay wheel of the year

"Ever since I was a little boy, I knew that I was a witch.

I delighted in the night time forest, where others feared to tread.

I saw the gods in the stones, the storm, and the trees; spirits talked to me on the wind.

In my innermost silence, I knew myself as nothing more than an emanation of the Divine. An illusion of temporary form, soon to vanish back into the ether.

That I was alive, incarnated at all, was the deepest wonder.

I felt a sacredness in nature and all life, and I wondered why those around me did not feel the same. Something seemed to have set me apart from the rest.

This was not a sense of ego or superiority, it was an alien sense, that I was somehow here but did not belong. That I was this creature, this wild thing, that had no business in the civilized world.

I had an inner knowing of things that others did not possess. I felt strange pulls that guided me and directed my life. And I sometimes watched the world change according to my will.

As time went on, I grew bitter and resentful of this world. At every turn people denied my autonomy and there was always something or someone waiting to stifle my liberation. I felt I was in a cage with blind, hate filled monsters, always gnashing and gnawing at my spirit. The world was not built for people like me. Everything about me was against their rules and standards, and I was always the monster in their stories. So I hardened my heart to protect myself, I hated in bid to shield myself from that pain.

Still more time, and I learned that I am a being in an imperfect world. Not the world of nature, but the world of man. I learned to heal and love again. A fire kindled in me, one that can only be born from suffering. This fierce unyielding compassion, and a desire to fight for myself and others like me, no matter the cost. This flame roused in me my greatest power, this fire that had always been my god. It guided me, directed me, and it lives in me still. That potency of a soul unbound by the limits of human conditioning.

I was a boy when I succumbed to the power of the witch. That presence which I knew myself to be, even without the words for it. Now I have the words, so I am writing this for myself and anyone who had an experience like me. The path of the witch is not for everyone, but what a sacred path it is to walk. We are blessed despite everything, and the world needs our healing. Always honor and remember your connection to source, that eternal and cosmic fire of the witch."
