We are looking forward to sharing opinions with you.
It seems you already have done quite a bit of research on your own.
I like your thoughts on religeon.
I agree men have used religeon to oppress other men (and women) for years and now we are taking back the opportunity to practice our own religion without the strict rules of the traditional churches but with the moral responsibility.
I have been reading every thing i can get my hands on Wicca and Pagan i believe in the Goddess but i also believe in God too ! My heart tells me at one time all religion were one religion ! And the men took over just to have all women under there thumbs . I have been to many church's in my life and have never found one that is right for me . In a lot of these church it's all about the money. There are backstabber's they preach faults doctrines and keep telling you are going to hell if you don't believe in the Bible or Christ . And i do believe in broth but not the way they do there's a lot more to it then what we are being told . So i search and read i have read the Lost Books of The Bible very good reading for any one . And books by Scott Cunningham and others i need Sister's like you to reach out too for help understanding . Blessings , Light and Love Hazel

I see that it is not just a group; but more like a sense of being. I love what I've seen so far and believe that we all have so much to offer. Small or large it doesn't matter the fact is, is that it comes from the heart. Everything said touches someone! After all that's what counts. I'd love to make new friends and learn new things and share a part of me with you all.
Well i am more then willing to share anything about myself that might benifit the knowledge of others. I am a Discordian. some people take that the wrong way but i am not dark in any way.If you have questions please dont be afraid to ask.
I don't really know about what you are asking so my suggestion would be to look through our topics. There is a lot of information in this group if you dont mind reading through some of our discussions. Also you may post new topics and tell us about some of the things that were passed down to you as we all like to learn too.
Hi my name is Britny. I am new I have been practicing since i was about 4 years old. I am from a long line of Solitary witches that goes back 23 generations, My Grandmother passed her wisedom to me and her Mother to her. I dont know if i can be considered a High Preistess or not though, I know my Grandmother was one but i am only 20 and dont belong to a coven but before she died she passed everything to me so if someone could help me that would be wonderful ^_^ Thanks!!
I've been on the Pagan path for several years now, although I believe it called me all my life, it just took me a while to hear, lol.
I'm solitary eclectic, a member of the ADF so I follow a somewhat Druidic path, but I am also drawn to Shamanism (both in the Americas and northern Europe, such as Seidh), and Native American spirituality.
I'm not that advanced, i specified "Druidisant" meaning i got another 10 years or so to go before i can pretend knowing anything!!!
I actualy studied modern and anscient religions before meeting my friend Alan LeGoff in Komanna in Britany with my thesis.
He is the Vate of his group.
The subject was the triskel. (I post the pic for those who doesn't know). We had pretty close views at the time he was about to publish their first edition of "Ialon", their study magazine which main article also was on the subject.
Hello Marc, Welcome to the group. I am also a Druid. It's nice to have you here. I learned most of my ritual liturgy from ADF.

I have been lurking around here for a while now but not introduced myself.
I am Diane, I live in Sydney and have been learning and living Wicca for a few years. I love the way it leaves me free to practice how my heart decides and not what an old man wrote a few thousand years ago.
To me it is about feeling in harmony with the spirit and the earth, and about giving, and letting spirit return to me in kind.
I hope to be a part in learning and a little teaching too where I can.
Greetings all I'm Lady Ravenwings . My daughter told me about this site . I've been a practiceing witch for 18+ years now . I study anything and everything I can find concerning magick , herbalism , the occult , healing etc. etc. So far I've managed to gather a collection of over 500 books . Almost every book I have has been a gift given to me from teachers or those who just thought I could uses the info in the books for myself and share with others ... I've also got a couple of pretty bad health issues . The first is fibromyalgia . I've had it for 26 years as result of a drunk driver running into the rear end of my brothers motorcycle while it was stopped at a stop sign , I was 17 ... I'm 43 now . The second is I've got a very weak heart , I was on a heart transplant list till 3 years ago then things improved so I won't be needing a new heart soon , but only 36% of my heart functions now . I'm hopeing to make new friends and share anything and everything ...

I recently joined care2 and Witches Helping Witches. I've been looking for a place where I can learn from others as well as share my own knowledge and expirience. I have been Wiccan all my life but I didn't really know that until about 10 years ago. Thank you for creating the opportunity for us to exchange ideas.
I look forward to getting to know everyone here! Xandara (Frances)

Hello New to Forum and Care 2 but not to Wicca March 18, 2006 4:35 AM
Hi my name is Anela (my real name is Ann but prefer the later), I have been practicing Wicca for 13 years. I was taught by my Aunt, and have since taken a solitary path. I have two children who when they get old enough will be taught Wicca and other religions and allowed to choose.
I am also the Co-Owner of the Real Magick Yahoo! Group (still trying to get it and it's MySpace counterpart off the ground).....
I'm a natural helper personality, and will try to help any way I can whether it is helping to gather information, looking through my BOS for a spell, or simply lending an ear and a shoulder for support.
JUST WANTED TO SAY HI. I'M ANGELDUST & FAIRLY NEW TO WICCA AS I WAS RAISED SOUTHERN BAPTIST. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING TO KNOW YA'LL & LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE PATH I HAVE CHOSEN TO TAKE.

Hi, everyone! I'm Susan, and I'm new! I'm fairly new to Witchcraft, but I seem to have a knack for writing spells, so I'll try to help others as best I can, in that department. Mostly, though, I'm here to learn! Merry meet, everyone! Can't wait to talk to you all!

I found this group on WickieCat profile and that it sound like a good group.My name is Laura and I am from Michigan,have all my life.I have always been a witch but untill i knew what that was and learned about it,which was 7 or so years ago.I am told I am elcectic in the way of my path and by another a see'er witch,I am also an empath.So I hope this is enough for an intro but please feel free and ask me what question you may have in your head after reading this.
Hi, I just found this group, and it looks terrific so far.
Although I've been Wiccan for many years, with training in 2 different trads, I'm doing sort of "my own thing" these days, mixing Wicca with eastern religions, and throwing in "what works" from anywhere else - for instance, I did a house cleaning ritual recently after a pet died, partly to send her on her way, partly to clean the death energies away, and partly to mundanely clean what had gotten soiled. The only easily burnable herb I had was tobacco, so used it. Seemed doubly appropriate since I'm on an Indian Reservation. I'm doing what works for me, in a spirit of eclecticism. Teach me something better, and I might adopt that.

I have been a nature's child it wasn't until 1996 I had learn I am a witch. Since 1996 studying many books I still haven't figure which witch group I belong too, all I know I am solitary and someday I would love to change it. I would like to belong to a Coven, up here in Anchorage, AK. our town is so big and meeting other's such as me is hard. One day I am planning to move to Salem, OR., there I will be closer to one male witch I have known for over a year now. I hope to make some good friend's here and I do love learning new things.
My name is Lawrence, and I'm a Green Witch from Toronto, Canada. I love nature, and I spend alot of time reading or on the computer.

My Name is Kayzandra. I'm 35 and have been practicing always. I'm a Pagan. No sub-catagory, just Pagan. I study every path I find and love to learn new ideas and such. I've become pretty good at Tarot (been practicing since I was 15) although I just follow the meaning given in the Rider Waite book instead of trying to inturpret it myself. Works for me, I'm usually right that way. I'm slightly empathic. I say slightly because people tend to think I am swapmed by every little thought and feeling of whomever I come in contact with otherwise. Luckily it's not like that for me. I cast & write my own spells, make potions and such, work with crystals... and much more.
I saw this group and had to join, because I love to learn new things and I love to share! So hopefully I will have lots to share with everyone as well as learn from all of you!
Blessings to you all!

I have been practicing since high school, so, I'd say since 1994. I think It was sophomore year that I really decided this was the path that felt RIGHT!
However, I berate myself for not practicing in such a way as I would like: Giving myself excuses like "Too Tired" "Not Enough Room" etc, etc. But then again I will take time out to talk to Them or Her/Him when outside, perhaps burning a candle or blowing bubbles for the wind and wind spirits to play with as an offering. I know logically that it is quality and not quanity that counts and that the Lord/Lady know that over the past several years that crisis after crisis have been happening to the family.... but I digress and am probably bumming folks out!
I also host a graphic design slash Wiccan/Pagan group
: http://www.care2.com/c2c/group/graphicmagic
The intent of the group is for spiritual-related talk as well as Graphic-needs (be it from the client p.o.v. or the designer)
Please take a look, if it something you can use,join. If you know someone who could benefit, pass the e-addy along to them to join!
I am MOST inspired by Kerr Cuhulain and Ann (Amouiel) Moura . I was "raised" on Scott Cunningham and Silver RavenWolf.

Hi Everyone & Thanks for invitation June 22, 2005 11:17 AM
Just call me Sandi. I am really glad to see this group and I see lots of friends already ~ hi everyone. I think Ket is right the name is intriguing and just had to check it out.
I have been a Witch since my teens and that is quite a few years. I consider myself to still be learning, as I add something new to my 20+ years of practicing almost everyday. I am really looking forward to the dynamics this group has. (Oh, please pardon if I don't check in daily, I am in recuperation from an auto accident that reinjured what was being treated and added a bit more.) But I will be in as often as possible.
all. My name is Angel and i saw this group list in Tamara's list (blushes) i thought hey i'll check it out.
As for myself, I'm 28 (29 in july), I grew up a Christian thanks to grandparents lol and been in touch with "spirit guides" since probably the age of 6 but really didnt get a full understanding of anything until after i met my husband. I always encountered things that were a little freaky but thankfully he filled in the blanks for me and i've known how to do majick since my early 20's (7 yrs.) I could have been doing it a lot sooner but i didn't have that knowledge yet. So now that i'm aware of a lot of things, i hope that i can teach and learn here too.
I must have forgotten to post my intro here, sorry about that! You have obviously been very busy posting all this information, Wickie! Thank you for the invite. Aislinn

I am KendraShai and I am looking forward to getting to know those in this group. I am a solitary ecclectic, influenced by Native American shamanism, Celtic traditions, and Wicca (with of bit of Egyptian thrown in for flavor). I work with crystals, herbs, and Reiki. I am constantly pursuing knowledge of herbs for healing, as well as, the understanding of other methods of alternative healing. Again, I look forward to meeting you all.
WickieCat, thanks for this group! . . . It's nice to see some familiar faces and to meet the new ones!
. . . I guess, if I were to try to classify myself into one Path, I'd have to say I'm definitely on the Eclectic Witch Path! . . . I usually encorporate various aspects from various Paths into my Belief System & Practice ~ whatever feels right and True! . . Otherwise, it's just too limiting, I feel . . . It's also, I believe, a part of the reason Organized Religions tend to become narrow-minded and refuse to accept, validate, and respect other Belief Systems and instead try to force others to follow them!
Anyway, it's great to be here ~ I'm looking forward to meeting everyone, learning a lot, and hopefully contributing whatever I can!
First of all, thanks for accepting me into your group. I hope to learn
a lot from you guys, and maybe I'll even find something to share, too.
I have been Pagan for about ten years now, and have never chosen a more
specific path than that until recently, when I began training in Wicca.
I read a lot, on many topics, and am always looking for more
information. I have never been a member of any coven or group, but did
attend last summer's WicCan Fest. I am generally hesitant to join
groups, as I thrive on being alone, and am somewhat shy to share too
much with others. Although I am outwardly very friendly and open, I am
nonetheless reserved and watchful.
So I may be silent for many days at a time, but I am here
Although most of my friends have chosen to follow the organized christian beliefs, my spiritual path has taken me from Celtic beliefs to Native American beliefs. I come to the Wiccan path a novice and hope to learn much. My attraction to Wicca is its support of solitary practice and its devotion to nature. I am very excited to have found this group and look forward to being able to learn from all of you.
I have been diffrent all my life and been cast out from Family and some so called Friends put on eds to shut me up and it took me long to accept it is a gift and now i want to do then best i can with it greetings to all Tam
