"For if that what you seek, you find not within yourself, you will never find it without."
- excerpt from "The Charge of the Goddess"
I have recently been reading a book about the basics of the religion of Wicca. No, this does not mean that I am an aspiring witch. I am just an aspiring writer doing background info on a character. It turns out that this is actually a very fascinating religion. I am getting through it fairly quickly considering it reads like a text book.
This line from the charge though kind of stuck a cord with me.
How many times in life have you sat on your butt waiting for someone or something else to give you a kick start. To suddenly start making things happen for you?
I think there is a lot of truth in this line. Everything that we need is in us. Sometimes, I think we suppress that inherent courage, love, whatever. We have to find it. I think that others can hep us find it... but really we have to see it in ourselves.
This was a little bit of unexpected wisdom from an unexpected source.
