Namaste All-

 

My name is Devi, and I'm a Shakta Wiccan from Toronto, Ontario. I was

originally adopted by Ganesha during my first year of University,

when I began my Religious Studies degree, and took a course in

Hinduism just out of interest. It ended up becoming my passion, and I

ended up specializing in it for my BA. I am constantly surprised and

comforted by Ganesha's loving presence in my life, and have never

been dissapointed when I've called out to Him out of need. Within the

past 3 years, Ganesha has led me to Durga, and now I am a devotee of

Her as well. I am very excited to be moving into a new home in the

fall, which will be large enough for me to have a room exclusively

for my altars; I plan on building fairly elaborate ones for Ganesh

and Durga, but, also having smaller ones for Saraswati, Lakshmi,

Shiva, and Skanda.

 

I have recently started up a !group of my own for those who

identify themselves as Wiccan or NeoPagan but are most inspired by

the Hindu Tradtion (much as other Wiccan/Pagan traditions are most

inspired by the Celtic, Egyptian, Norse, etc traditions). I had never

met another like me, but I am finding that we are more prevalent that

I first expected. This has been a very pleasant surprise for me, and

I am really enjoying the sense of community that the !group is

fostering among our likeminds.

 

However, that aside, I always am happy to join in discussion groups

that focus on the Deities to Whom I am devoted. Hearing different

perspectives, and learning more each day, is the only way to keep the

mind young and the spiritual heart hungry!

 

Blessings,

~Devi~

Devi,

 

Thanks for your introduction; I think you will find many kindred spirits in

this group. Ganesh does seem to be the avenue that leads one to many other

important places. I need to keep rooted in him or I get off the track.

I've been lead to Baba Neem Karoli, Sai Baba, Hanuman, Sri Nathaji,

Ramakrishnan, Durga, Bhavani, etc., etc., but I need to keep coming back to

base.

Hello,

 

My name is Ginny and I live in the US. Devi, I had a question for

you...did you write an article for New Witch magazine called Loving

Ganesha? If so, it was your work who introduced me to Lord Ganesh. I

am now very devoted to Him.
