How do you know it's real?

I think heavy doubt might be a sign that you are trying to force something that isn't right for you.

I tend to think heavy doubt also indicates intelligence and critical thinking skills. Maybe I'm a spiritual weirdo, but I have very serious doubts about my perceptions of this stuff. The entities I've "met" appear to live in liminal places, including, I imagine, between belief and disbelief. I've always felt I need to embrace both states in order to even begin to understand them. But, of course, I could be totally deluding myself.

I should also mention that I don't work with the Wiccan goddess, or any gods at all, so maybe comparing it to what the OP mentions is apples and oranges.
