The Point

I think a lot of the time people make the mistake of assuming I'm a gentle soul because I am a woman. It is degrading to me, to say the least. 

Most Wiccans believe in the trinity of the Goddess. The Maiden, Mother, and Crone. Few people search for the fourth face. One thing I feel like we do is try and make sense of the world based on these things. Many people identify as the Maiden, that's the phase of life they're in. I've searched and asked, but I am none of these things. My identification is the fourth face, the Warrior aspect. I've read that people lump this aspect in with the Mother. I disagree. While the Mother will defend her children with her last breath, the Warrior will not hesitate to defend what she believes, those she's loyal to, her honor, her country, whatever it is that's in her heart that's of importance. She has much different motivations than the Mother. 

It's been a long time, but more and more I'm getting reacquainted with myself. I know who I am. I know what I am. It makes me shudder, and I am afraid. It fills me with joy, and is my happiness. All of these things, good and bad, are part of me. If we can't accept ourselves for who and what we are, no matter what, than what's the fucking point?
