As a solitary witch I have never had a real problem balancing my transition with my beliefs. That does not mean I have not asked myself deep questions of faith regarding my gender identity. I believe the Divine is masculine, feminine and all things in between and as all life is of the Divine thus life itself is that way.
However it has not always been that easy as I used to be very feminist in my attitude and only align with goddesses and negating the role of the gods and also of men in humanity. I now realise that anger and hatred towards anything male was my own denial mechanism against my true gender identity. In effect I was hiding behind a subconscious screen because I was not ready to face the reality, not that one can ever be fully ready for such a huge change in life.

Some people like to run with music. Others like to talk with friends. Me, I’ve taken to enjoying the rhythmic sound of my footsteps on the ground as I trot along. I find it a soothing sound. It makes a great baseline to accompany bird songs and crow’s calls. When I am in the zone, the sound of my footfalls becomes white noise as I float along. And I always know when I’m not running well: my footfalls become irregular and the rhythm fades. When this happens, I take a deep breath, slow down and restart the pattern … step – step – step – step – step – step – step – step. A rhythm of endless possibilities.
Total: 8km run

― Rumi
“This always happens to me. I have everything going my way and then bam… the universe laughs at me and my life falls apart”
“I can’t win for losing”
“Life’s a bitch”
No, No, No, No. NO NO NO!!!!!!
Are these the stories we want to tell ourselves? Really? We can do better than that?
“My life keeps getting better all the time”
“No matter how bad things feel, I know I have these things that make me happy”
“I feel grateful for being alive in a world with those flowers or eyes and a smile like that girl / man had.”
Do the above sound overly syrupy or sentimental to you? I can see how but seriously no matter how bad things have gotten for me, pretty consistently the difference…
