Lioness



I was born and raised in a traditional LDS family. After a pretty uneventful childhood and young adulthood I experienced a huge trial of my faith shortly after the birth of my son in 2006. I slowly fell into inactivity where I stayed for three years.
As we added to our family (another daughter) and my children grew older I felt a void growing larger within me. I didn't know what I would tell them if they asked me what I believed with regard to religion. I was in an awkward place of "not LDS but not post LDS". I felt adrift with no anchor, a tenuous plant with no root system. I began to evaluate my feelings and decided that I needed to learn if I still had a testimony of the gospel.
During my time away from the micromanagement of the church I learned more about what worship looked and felt like for me. I feel a wonderful sense of stability and comfort in ritual (action). To me the Pagan path is very wise and ancient - without corruption.
Of all the amazing women here I am by far the one with the least experience and knowledge. I look forward to a year full of faith building traditions, a vast increase in knowledge and a deep reconnection with my Heavenly Mother.
