A little background

I'm not very good with writing, so bear with me.

I started this blog because In the past two weeks, I've decided to embark on a spiritual path that I had once considered, but thought was invalid due to the friction between the two major halves that make up its whole.

Christianity and Neo-Paganism--or any sort of Paganism-- have a very hard past together. I'm not going to go into it, here, but you can find all sorts of material strewn across the internet as well as in published material.

I grew up as a conservative Christian in a conservative home with a conservative life (all the kinds of conservative you can imagine: religious, social, political, etc.). However, despite not ever being exposed to certain things like other religions, heavy church history, and sexualities, all of these things just landed in my lap and I was curious about them.  I quickly discovered that the last place to ask questions was in a church. I inadvertently outed myself as a "rebellious" child even though I was devout as anyone who attended that congregation. By the time I was 19, I realized that I no longer wanted to attend there. Possibly not anywhere. This was alarming to me, and I tried to simply change denominations. I even attempted to change religions.  Both attempts were futile because YHWH was my god, and my understanding of YHWH was not limited to traditional Christianity. I could see YHWH in many other religions and I could appreciate YHWH there.

My personal idealism also lead me to believe that the earth was very important, and that YHWH required no building. My romanticism had me praying over incense and speaking to the moon.

In the end, I am now 32. I have made many mistakes, and I still make them.
My goal in beginning this blog is to share my journey.
I am currently what would be called a Solitary, meaning that I practice alone, without the company of others due to the lack of them to seek out, or simply by choice. At this moment, I'm not inclined to seek out a coven or a circle, because I am still finding my way.

As a warning to my readers, I am crafting this path as I go along. This will not be a clean, easy, or clear cut way. I am running as quickly and carefully as I can...hence the name "Flying by Foot". I am not on a broom or a gust of wind just yet and expect to trip and fall quite a bit.

Please join me on this journey, and share your thoughts, no matter what angle they may come from.
