This week I started to look at three of my resolutions. The first one was my cooking and I tried out a lovely new recipe of Potato, Chorizo and Leek Pie. It was absolutely gorgeous. It's from Rachel Allen's Home Cooking Recipe Book. If there is enough demand I'll post the recipe up. I guess you can experiment with it and make vegetarian versions. Admittedly it was probably the easiest thing to make, but it was so good so I don't care!

The other thing I've turned to look at this week is beginning looking into my beliefs and Witchcraft/Wicca properly. This is going to be hard for me. I feel that when I first came into Witchcraft that I started to believe absolutely everything I read. And it's hard not to, when everything is new and seems so different you cling to it and hope its true. I know deep down that Witchcraft/Wicca is where my beliefs lie. Refining them is a different matter. I am always advised to read, read, read and read until I can form my own opinions. I want to start doing this. I have so many books that I have bought that haven't been read. I want to get to a point where I can sit down and discuss my beliefs with someone, something I'm not comfortable to do yet. I want to feel as if my heart is in it, that its where my heart belongs. Part of me wants to go away for a weekend to think it all over. Somewhere by the sea, I always feel very spiritual by the sea.

So I'm going to start by reading my beginners books again, Scott Cunningham, Kate West, Cassandra Eason. I'll eventually read all my books, doing all the exercises that are contained with in them to help me further my knowledge of the craft and ground my beliefs. I'll look at a few other pagan based religions I guess. Druidry, I have a couple of books on that and all types of craft like Faeriecraft on which I also have a book. I need to expand my horizons I think and stop being focused on the same books time and time again. Here's hoping it gets me somewhere!
