I grew up on my grandparents' farm. I think my path started there when I was a kid. I would spend every afternoon after school taking three or four hour walks in the woods. There I learned that there were wonders to be found and sometimes, the trees will talk to you.
When I was eighteen, I discovered Wicca. In some ways, it was like coming home, but it didn't quite fit. Granted, it's changed a lot from when I first found it.
I've looked into and explored quite a few other paths and systems over the years - for example, druidry, chaos magick, kabbalah, astrology, satanism. I also have taken lessons in color and sound healing based on the teachings of Alice Bailey, as well as core shamanism from a direct student of Michael Harner. Some if it fit. A lot didn't. Quite a bit I couldn't make head or tails of - I still can't tell you anything about astrology beyond my birth, moon and rising signs.
I guess I took the long way around to say that these days, my path is more Egyptian flavored eclectic/pagan/shamanic and "fly by the seat of my pants."
