Continuing the discussion from [Gratitude for Spell8 Site](https://forum.spells8.com/t/gratitude-for-spell8-site/2970): Continuing the discussion from [Hello and Merry Meet from Japan!](https://forum.spells8.com/t/hello-and-merry-meet-from-japan/3848): I’m overwhelmed by the warm wishes and heartfelt welcome extended by so many! I just finished the Self-initiation course and feeling very happy about that because I could read and listen to all of the instruction without feeling reservations about this thing or that. Having been raised a Christian, I found so many dogmas to be so counter-intuitive. I was always told not to question things that were a matter of faith and that the faith I had was a gift from God not to be questioned or doubted. But I did doubt! This time, going through the basic instructions, I never felt my intelligence was being insulted. And rather than spurn the things that are earthly, we can rejoice in and celebrate being a part of Nature. How wonderful is that! I do feel I’ve found a home. The future is bright! Thank you again for all your support. I have felt the energy from you! Magick! Thanks especially to Spells8 for this resource. I’m still overwhelmed by how much there is to learn, but this website has become a base for me to turn to. Ever grateful!!! I tried to post this on the introductions site, but I think I ended up just sending a message to myself. So I’m sending this long message here because I wanted you to know how glad I am I found this website and how much I love it! Barbara ---

I can relate. I was raised a Christian and had doubts and questions. It just didn’t add up for me. I still pray, but not only to one God. I pray to many God’s and Goddesses! I’m so happy to have you part of the family! ---

Unlike Christianity, Paganism seems to encourage questions. So ask away! We are glad to have you here @barbara1! 🤗 ---

Hi Barbara, I was raised Catholic, married Methodist, divorced the same. Born again Baptist (like once wasn’t enough), married Baptist . Finally I was listening to a cd by Sylvia Browne [I know some think she was a fraud, but she saved me.] and it was her preaching about Mother Goddess and Father God that just rang so true in my mind. I searched the web for ‘truth and a home’. I found it in this Coven, the curriculum and these amazing people. Merry Welcome! ---
