I would like to add something of Wicca in general.

Nearly 25 years ago I came across a very general Wiccan text.  This was basically "magic for everyone" with very simple general things in it.  Being a teenager, I tried some of them, and scared myself wittless.  The first time I cast a circle and meditated, the feeling of a presence sent me from the room (I vaccumed up the salt the next morning).

My first real spell was for the Authors to contact me.  Foolish I know, but it was worth a shot.  This was all pre-internet, and there wasn't much in the library.  A short time later I was out with a friend, and we stopped at a very eclectic used bookstore, which we had never been to before, nor since.  I think it took me all of 2 minutes to find an original "Witches Bible", a black book with an Ankh on the cover.  Coincidence?

I studied the book quite a bit.  It has affected my entire life since then.  Now I haven't always used the knowledge within, but at times of need I have.  I have done numerous "rituals" alone or with the unknowing aid of my wife.

I have known quite a few pagans (medieval re-creation group) and self professed witches (real and fake).  And generally speaking found them to be pretty much like everyone else (just more holidays [] ).

Do I consider myself a witch?  No.  I have never been a neophyte or tried for an initiation.  Will I?  I'm nearly 40, kind of hard.  Would I work with a witch if there was a need?  If I knew them well, then yes.  Would work with a Coven (slim chance, but you never know how things will work out), yes if I knew them well enough.

I believe in a lot of wiccan tenates.  They are generally good people.  Are there some bad ones?  Oh yes, I suppose they are just like everyone else, good and bad.

Now I take my basic knowledge, and combined it with a fairly sharp analytical mind and I wind up here.  My book of shodows is different from many others, in that I don't limit myself to pre-concieved notions.  A rittual followed by rote has less meaning than one full of symbols that mean something to you.  The same goes for tools, a knife you forged yourself from cold iron is more powerful than one made in Pakistan (no offense intended).

I have made mistakes (ever get what you asked for, only to realize you shouldn't have asked?).  But, The knowledge gained has saved my life on more than one occasion.  That is sufficient for me.

And now I stand at a major junction in my life:  Religion.  I've had none up to this point, and I need to choose, for I think I'm spiritually stuck at the moment.  What I think of as divine beings are so easy to explain, childishly easy.  But now I've come to realize even if the origin is manmade, that doesn't mean they don't metaphysically exist and have power in the material world.

Merry Meet (as the saying goes [] )
