Dear Delriece...
I am a practicing Wiccan, and sometimes I feel like Im hoping that
this spirituality will fill the void in which my whole life has been
completly based upon. I have doubts and I suppose it is because after
waking up from years of believing in false promises and hopes, what do you
truly believe in? Things are only as real as you want them to be...but
what if its all a lie? Im so scared to wake up again and find no
comfort, no reasoning, no truth..and be let down by the false convictions
false assumptions and false Gods...Ive been let down too many times to be
let down again...so I guess what I am asking, is how do you let go of
the doubt and truly give yourself up to the rapture of believing in the
one thing most cant believe in, themselves..?

Dear Ekow,
This situation reminds me of a person becoming jaded about their love life after a heartbreak. It's hard after losing a loved one to ever trust again and let yourself get your hopes up. In love, the best thing to do is to let time heal your wounds until you meet the right person. We can extrapolate this advice to your own situation. You will need time, and the spiritual practice that is just right for you. That's where the flexibility of Wicca may be of help. Doubt is okay. In fact, finding hope within doubt can be what brings your spirituality to the forefront of your life. Allow yourself to doubt and aknowledge your fears, but then also allow yourself to have an open mind and open eyes to the miracles all around you. Don't force yourself to press through rituals that may seem uncomfortable and fake. Instead, open your heart up to deity in your own way so that you truly share yourself with All, and All with yourself.
Light!
Delriece
