My Thoughts Exactly

A former Mormon speaks out about personal experiences as a member for over 20 years. Lots of information on the history of the church, its founder, Joseph Smith, and the evolution of doctrine and teachings over the last 150 years. Some things even most members themselves do not know about their religion.

Astarte Moonsilver
After resigning from the Mormon church where I spent most of my youth and adult life, I am now Pagan and a Spiritual Priestess, ordained through the Universal Life Church. I have been Pagan and practicing Witchcraft for over 7 years. My Thoughts Exactly is about my Mormon life, and Astarte Moonsilver is where I share my Book of Shadows with others. The Cauldron and Crucible is a new blog for spiritual discussion and random thoughts about Alchemy, Paganism, Wicca and Witchcraft, and, well, the Universe.

Quote of the Month

Questions bring answers, answers take thought, thought reveals enlightenment. Enlightenment brings more questions. We come full circle.
