Why was I ordained ?? I grew up in a very strict Souther Baptist household and was forced to attend each meeting(4x/week)I didn't know what I believed, but was told to just follow what I was told.Well,as soon as I turned 18, I left home and set out to find out what I believed. After bouncing around to different churches and religions, I found wicca.About this time the internet came into a form I could operate(point and click/now called windows) I started studying by myself for quite some time. After a couple of years I found a priestess that was willing to train me. I became a priestess in my own right in 1986. I now have students of my own and felt the need to make a legal change to allow me to do ceremony from baptism to funeral. Thus the need to be ordained. As you can tell from my date that I am sqeeky new, but have been on this path for a very long time, and sometimes feel very old. I too feel that a person's spirituality is a very personal and unique thing and should not be forced or dictated. Both of our local medical centers are catholic, so when a person of wicca is admitted, you are classified as "other" and is not put on any visitation list. These are the ones I wish to visit and minister to.With my ordination,I can have access to the chaplains office and recieve that list of "others". Rev. Colleen B.
