I grew up in a family that was not religious. We did not talk about God.  I always knew that my mother believed in God, but it was never a part of my life.  I completely rejected Christ and decided that the Bible was the biggest hoax ever created. 

It was at this time that I started looking into Wicca, a religion that involves the practice of witchcraft. I studied it and started secretly doing rituals in my room. It quickly got out of control. Witchcraft made me feel powerful, and my ego was fuelled at every ritual.

...My friend Leah, my neighbour from residence who was now my housemate, suggested that we take an Alpha course.
