A Mad World, My Masters

[poliphilo]

The world likes to oblige us.

It shapes itself as best it can to our perceptions of it.

When I was doing Wicca the world obliged me with low-grade magic- synchronicities, amazing coincidences, omens and the like.

Now I'm no longer doing Wicca the world has settled down quite a bit. It conforms to the views of the middle-aged rationalist it thinks I've become.

But I'm not fooled. I know just know how giddy it can be.

Re: My pagan days

When I left Christianity it was a grand old rumpus, with blazing anger on both sides. When I left Wicca it was a matter of gentle drift. I'd done it for long enough and my attention was wandering.

I guess I'm still a Pagan, but it's no longer a religious affiliation, more like a point of view.
