MY PUBLIC NAME IS AVEE AS YOU WILL SEE ON MANY OF MY PUBLIC PAGES OR VIATRIX SAGE. I AM A FIRST DEGREE REV. WITHIN THE CORRELLIAN TRADITION.

I BEGAN MY FORMAL STUDIES A YEAR AGO AND AM MOVING TOWARDS MY SECON DEGREE INITIANTON BY END OF 2015.  I WAS A PAGAN PRACTITIONER SINCE MY EARLY 20'S STARTING IN BUDDHISM AND THE SEARCH FOR A SPIRITUAL CONNECTION. AS TIME WENT ON, I LEFT MY STUDIES, GOT MARRIED AND GENERALLY MOVED ON.  AS WE ALL KNOW, THE CALL TO THIS PATH DOES NOT LET YOU BE.  THE SHORT STORY IS, I GOT INVOLVED IN THE PATH AGAIN. MY AT THE TIME MENTOR GAVE ME THE CORRELLIAN FIRST DEGREE BOOK AS A STARTING POINT.  FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS, I STUDIED AND PRACTICED. I EVENTUALLY SETTLED THAT THIS ROUTE WAS FOR ME.  MAINLY I WAS SOLITARY, BUT ENJOYED THE COMPANY OF FELLOW PRACTITIONERS.  IN MY SOCIAL ENDEVORS, I MET REV. KAREN SILVA (SHRINE OF THE UNIVERSAL DANCE) AND I DECIDED THAT FORMAL STUDY WAS A GOOD WASY TO MOVE FORWARD IN MY STUDIES. CORRELLIAN BELIEFS WERE THE CLOSEST TO MY OWN ESTABLISHED SET OF BELIEFS, SO IT WAS ONLY NAUTRAL THAT I INITIATE IN THAT DIRECTION. DURING MY FIRST YEAR OF STUDY, I HAD CREATED A FACEBOOK PAGE, ATTENDED MANY PAGAN EVENTS IN MY AREA, MADE MANY FIRENDS AND GREW RAPIDLY IN MY STUDIES. BY THE END OF APRIL 2015, I BECAME INITIATED IN THE CLERGY. I WAS PRESENTED WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP MY PERSONAL SHRINE AND BEGIN A CLEAR FOCUS ON PRACTICING AS A CORRELLIAN. TODAY YOU HAVE JOINED ME ON MY JOURNEY AND HOPE YOU WILL SHARE IN MY EXPERIENCES. 

 

I WANT TO TALK A BIT ABOUT WHY I CHOSE MYSTICAL STAG AS MY SHRINE NAME.  LET'S START WITH THE TERM MYSTICAL 

having a spiritual meaning or reality. Involving or having the nature of an individual's direct subjective communion with God or ultimate reality. Symbolic or allegorical, especially with regard to spirituality. THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF MY SPIRITUAL JOURNEY, AND WHY I CONNECTED WITH THE TERM MYSTICAL.
