Author’s Note: This blog is a personal space for sharing my own experiences and perspectives on magic. While the broader website is home to educational resources on the Hagstone Tradition, many of the essays and reflections here focus on my individual magical practice, not necessarily the tradition as a whole.

Witchcraft is a deeply personal and diverse path, and my approach may not reflect the beliefs or methods of others. I encourage readers to explore, question, and adapt whatever resonates with them. Nothing shared here is intended as absolute truth or professional advice. Trust your intuition, do your own research, and walk the path that is right for you.

My faith is shaped by ancient texts, not modern trends or the influence of others. While I respect the path of Solitary Pagans, who still seek connection and community, my practice is entirely mineβ€”without the need for validation or shared experience.

Min Tro: How Deepening My Faith Led Me Out of Religion

This morning, I received an email from one of the religious communities I used to be part of, and it reminded me just how far I’ve come. I didn’t leave because I lost faithβ€”I left because I found it. The deeper I went into my spiritual practice, the more I realized that the structures of organized religion couldn’t contain what I had built within myself.

Here’s why embracing my spirituality meant walking away from the community that first nurtured it.
