Reyah - A Friend Like Me

ב' בניסן תשס"ח
Annwyn 3

In follow-up to my Craftwork entry, Another Like Me, I've found a word to describe the kind of witchy-friend I am looking for - a reyah (רֵעַ) meaning a "close friend" of the same soul-stuff. Given the complexity of my soul, such a witchy companion may be hard to find around here. But, I can't, won't believe that no other like me exists. Somewhere out there is a reyah for me.

I believe, you and I are in the same kind of boat so to speak. I am the only Jew where i live, and I am trying to become a good (pardon the pun)Jewitch/ jewish mystic. I have not been able to find anyone in this small town of mine like myself just one other who claims to be a Neo pagan but she doesn't see how Judaism and paganism are harmonious. so i don't talk to her anymore and I am still on my own , i do what feels right to me.

The way most people understand the their respective religious paths, "monotheism" and "paganism" (as typically understood) probably are not harmonious. I've done away with the labels, and find it atypically quite easy to reconcile harmoniously what is true for me - I am a Jewitch. I love being one and I will remain one forever, despite that others would like to force me into a single way of being. I am what I am and I will never cut out part of myself to comfort anyone else's smallmindedness.

Dare to be true to yourself.
