For a long time, I had questioned my faith. I was originally Catholic, but upon realizing just how awful the Catholic church is, I left and began my search for a faith more suitable to my values. I experimented with all kinds of faiths: Buddhism, Wicca, even Satanism. Religion had fascinated me for so long and I wanted to find a place where I belong.

my relationship with witchcraft and christianity
During my search, I gained an affinity for magic. I acquired some crystals and candles and researched all kinds of witchy practices and to this day am still fascinated by it.
And then I realized: I wanted to return to God.
I realized that religion isn't just something one has to follow a rulebook for. Religion is a personal thing and it shouldn't be made into this industry-like creature that spreads lies and makes people unhappy. While I have returned to Christianity, this time non-denominational, I still enjoy researching magic.
I believe that both magic and Christianity can co-exist, though "classic-christians" (as I like to call them) claim otherwise. Magic, after all, isn't a religion in itself; it's a practice that branches out in all different kinds of religions.
