Like people themselves, spirituality changes and evolves over time. If you find yourself struggling with religion, questions you may have that don't seem to have cut and dried answsers, and your curiosity is leading you in 20 different directions, here are some tips to help you find focus.

The internet has changed the way an otherwise *under the radar* religion is evolving. Not everything about the internet is positive of course, everyone knows someone who just thinks that wicca is cool and hip. These people do more harm than good to us, by merely highlighting media hyped things that make them stand out: clothing, jewelery, even reading material with no basis in fact. They also do themselves a disservice by disrespecting their own spirituality and not finding out more about who they are and who they are pretending to emulate. At the same time, everyone also knows someone who has been in contact with a person claiming to be a teacher of wicca, or a self proclaimed priestess/priest, with mysterious answers and ideas only your wallet can unleash, or worse. Before you pull out one penny, or blindly get caught up in anything like that, keep reading.

It is important to continue to learn about what your path may be. In order to do this, you need to do three things:

1. Write. Do you have a BOS, or a journal of any sort, where you can put your thoughts and feelings into words? This is probably the most important aspect of learning about your spirituality. You note what is affecting you, what changes you are seeing in yourself and what you are working through. Journaling may seem a mundane practice, but it really is important enough to take precedent over buying a bunch of books or trying to focus on one certain style of Wiccan teachings.

2. Read. You do not have to buy every New Age book on the bookstore shelves. There are many available through your local library that are very important works. Your focus is not on magic or spellcasting. It is on the meaning behind the religion. What is it that makes that particular path sing? Is it the strength of commitment to helping others? To protecting Mother Earth? To remaining historically pure to a given faith? These are things that you learn about only through time spent reading and then writing what your thoughts are.

3. Interaction. This one is the hardest, in my opinion, because talking doesn't mean going out and trying to find someone to talk to, who may or may not be interested. I mean go out and try your path on for size. If greenwitchery is your thing, talk to other who write meaningfully about the topic. Use email or forums that invite discussions. Do not join a list, or email asking for a teacher, a spell, or a cut and dried answer to a spiritual conundrum that you are facing.

It is far more important to take meaningful steps than to take many steps on your path to spiritual fulfillment. A path is not a straight line. It meanders, rises and falls with its environment. Walk your path and enjoy where it takes you.
