I found this video over on Witchy Mama’s website and I just loved it. She has a cute video of her boys singing the song (part of it anyway) if you go to her site, but here is the full song- now I need to Google the lyrics to it!

I Don’t FEEL Witchy
I haven’t been feeling very witchy the past few weeks. I guess it is because living in a house of Christians makes it very difficult to do anything regarding my faith. After having had one roommate basically kick me out because I am Wiccan and she was told by her church officials that she couldn’t continue to live with me and be a good Christian/Mormon, I am loathe to rock the boat here by doing anything that will allow me to express my faith.
I did however stop while walking my dog last night to appreciate the beauty of the full moon (I know it was full last night because it’s Waning Gibbous now, and is at 99% so it was either full last or Friday night) and to breathe in some of the crisp night air. I am hoping that I will be able to have at least a bit of fun with Samhain but we’ll see.
I feel at times that I am falling into a depression. Blogging no longer really appeals to me, I keep doing it because I have some work that I get paid for on my blogs. I sleep most of the day and only come up for air at night when I need to fix supper for myself and the roommates, then I spend all night awake playing on my computer, reading, or playing a video game. I am not enjoying life or anything else, and I know it is because I do not have a job that provides me a decent income that I can live on. I have to rely on the pittance I get for my blogging and on the kindness of my roommates. My job search has proven fruitless.
My issue is that I don’t know what to do to get myself out of this depression. I cannot just go to the doctor and get meds because I have no insurance and have no money. I can only hope that by trying to blog semi-regularly I can at very least bring myself some sort of therapy and maybe get myself back on track.
Creation Vs. Evolution – Your Stand?
Ok, so my best friend, who is a Christian, and I got into an argument about, go figure, creationism vs evolutionism. Anyone who has ever mentioned the word evolution to a Christian knows how Christians (or at least the greater majority of them) feel about evolution – it’s wrong, it’s against God, etc. So I proposed a perfectly logical middle ground. We were created to evolve. That was met with a head shake as though I just don’t get it. No, I get it.
You see, I get that Darwin could have been wrong – and that the scientific proof that has been discovered could be wrong. I also get that quite frankly, we *could* all be wrong in thinking that there *is* a higher power. Not saying that I believe there isn’t a higher power, but saying that the possibility is *there* that one does not exist. Therefore I believe it is prudent to say that we were created to evolve.
Believers cannot and will not deny that there is a higher power who created us, be it the Christian version of God, the Pagan/Wiccan Goddess, Allah, or whoever. Scientists cannot refute the proof that has been uncovered that evolution has occurred. So…. we were created to evolve. It’s simple, yet so hard for people to grasp.
They say the human mind is unable to grasp the idea that Deity has *always* been there. That Deity *is* and *always will be* there. Ok, so apparently the very idea that Deity might have just created everything, then sat back and said “let me/us see how they change, how they evolve…physically, mentally, and spiritually” is another idea that the human mind is unable to grasp. The very idea that we were created but created in such a way that we could and did evolve, is so large and so mind blowing that very few people are able to actually deal with the fact that it could be.
What is your stand on creation vs evolution? We were created? Did we evolve? Or was it a bit of both?
