The Beginning.

This blogging thing is not as easy as I thought it would be. I am reading a book right now on starting a blog. Kind of funny. There is a lot of good information in it even though he uses Wordpress in his examples. I just like Blogger better.
I guess I should tell a little bit about myself.
I will only be using my craft name on my posts. It is Cainwyne Haef Kemelis. I was born over 40 years ago in the great state of Colorado. I was raised in the Lutheran religion but during my teenage years I stopped attending church. Thus began my journey on my path with the gods and goddesses, even though I didn't know it at the time. I spent some time in the military but the fact that I am gay didn't sit well with some and I was asked to leave. I was a bit disappointed in that but I moved on. I returned to Colorado and began to live my new life.
I have loved and lost many times in my life. I have lost lovers to illness and family to time.
My journey along the path revved up in 2006 when I picked up my first book at a Borders Bookstore. It was Grimoire for the Apprentice Wizard by Oberon Zell-Ravenheart. I devoured it. It was funny while I was reading it I would think 'that is me'. I soon enrolled in The Grey School of Wizardry. I was having the time of my life. Everything was making sense to me. I began to explore my spirituality and what the path had to offer. While working on my classes and after a talk with a wise witch friend of mine I came to the realization that the moniker of 'wizard' was not who I was. I was pagan, more to the point I was a witch and always have been.
So now I am a witch and proud of it. Right now I am with a coven here in Colorado and I am working on my Year and A day studies. I LOVE it.

I think that is a good bit of stuff. Until my next post.....

Merry We Meet,
Merry We Part,
And Merry We Meet Again.

Brightest Blessings.

Well this is my first post on my new blog. I have never been one for putting down what I am thinking on paper. That may be why I have such a vivid memory of so many things that have happened in my life. I can remember things as far back to my days in preschool. I never kept a journal or diary. I have tried to keep a journal now and while I do write in it for a few days I end up setting it down and not picking it up again. I wish I had kept it up because I have lost so many thought and ideas recently. So that is part of what this blog will be is my daily musings. It is also going to give a place to share my life on my path with the Goddess and God and the Crossroads that I have encountered along the way. I hope people who read this blog find it interesting and become followers. I will try to keep it interesting. Until the next post....Brightest Blessings.
