Why I call myself a witch

That was a very powerful time in my life, even without the travel. It was during this time that I really grokked Mother Nature. We lived near a national forest, close enough that I could ride my bike to a favorite location after school and on Saturdays. I always went alone, unafraid, and in fact quite unaware of any possible dangers this world has to offer. I would shed my clothing and often my shoes, and be one with vibrant forest. I was never discovered, and to this day I think it was one of the most influential times for me spiritually.
I had certain things I would do, in a certain order, to begin and end each of my sessions in the woods. I had not read about anyone else doing anything like this - it just seemed natural. The first few times I went out there I cleared away dead branches and such, and made my little "fort." I didn't have a better word for it at the time, although now I would call it an altar. offerings On this I would place special rocks, twigs, flowers - whatever seemed appropriate. Many times I would bring with me some type of beverage and a snack. After I had completed whatever communing with nature that I was wont to do, I always poured a bit of the drink on the ground, and offered crumbs to the forest floor. Before I left, I would make sure that my treasures were safely hidden away, so that if anyone happened to pass through, they would not think anything special of the area.
With time that location in the woods developed a strong energy that responded to me when I was there. It even called to me when I wasn't there. I can remember at times the animals coming up to me, as if they weren't afraid. Other times I would sit so still that I thought I could see everything that moved, from the leaves rustling in the breeze to the tiniest insect crawling along the ground. I felt connected, like I belonged to the earth and the universe. I felt loved, accepted, and whole.
