One of the very first things that even made me start wondering about Wicca was my name. Back in 1988 I changed my name, to Alyxx. I had never liked my birth name, I knew for many years I was going to change it some day, it was just a matter of finding a name I liked. One day just before my senior year of high school I was at work and asked a girl, if you had a baby girl today what would you name her, and she replied "Alexandra" - I said that's it, and Alex I became. The spelling came up with everyone, as I didn't want to be typical. So we did Alix for a few months. Then one day a friend called, found a poem in a magazine by a 7yr old girl in the state of Washington named Alyxx - and my name was born - Several years later an internet friend asked me if I was Pagan. Although I had heard the term, and somewhat knew what it was, I was not exactly sure how to answer why.....well, I wanted to say yes, as if I knew I was and always had been. It was rather strange .... but my journey of discovery began almost at that moment. I will admit, I am not a good lil solitary ~witchlett~ I need a lil push here and there; some guidance, which gratefully, when needed, has always presented itself to me. Being a Witch is not all about casting spells and riding broomsticks, though I do enjoy those things ~giggles~ I am kidding ... I don't really ride a broomstick LOL Being a witch, at least to me at this point in my growth, is about spirituality and beliefs in an emotional and personal sense, and how its applied to keeping my life in a happy state. |
