I'm looking forward to the Meetup this weekend!! It's a pagan discussion group, meeting at a local metaphysical shop. This is the first meeting, and I'm thankful to be coming in on the "ground floor" because I'm not sure I'd have the guts at this point to jump feet first into an already established group. But at the same time, I've found no one, and I mean no one, to talk to about about any of this. My husband will listen, he's actually a very good listener, but I can't really bounce ideas off him because he doesn't have any interest.
I've even considered asking my ex's long-term girlfriend, but for some reason something keeps stopping me.
So it's off to the Meetup I go! I'm as usual battling my natural tendencies to be shy, and I've halfway considered canceling several times, but I'm not going to, dang it. I need to go, if nothing else than to lay some answers down at my feet.
I only have two more days to wait....
I think part of my frustration is not having anyone to answer my questions. Books and websites are all well and good, but I can't really ask a question. I suppose there are forums out there where I can find answers, but really where would I even start? I know there are a hundred different variations of Wicca (okay I'm exaggerating, but you get the idea), and so how do I find out which one is right for me? Do I just start with what I already feel is right, and keep track of it from there?
Do I seek to join a coven, or practice on my own? I don't really know yet.
I've read some great books. One that I just recently finished was my absolute favorite so far, and I plan to read it again. I will probably keep track of my reactions to the author's statements here, section by section.
What the author said made more sense than anything that I've read so far. I found myself nodding and hmmming with every paragraph, every page. The material was practical and did what I learn best with- don't just explain to me how something is done, tell me why it's done that way, teach me the history and the reasoning behind it.
Anyhow, enough rambling. Again. Guess I still have a lot of catching up to do!

Hi, I don't remember how I found your blog, but I'm following it :) I just wanted to write and say that I'm more than willing to have ideas and questions bounced off me; I was raised Wiccan and have spent a lot of my own time thinking and processing things, but of course am always still learning! I've got a series of "Wicca 101" type lessons on my blog here, just click the "lessons" tag on the sidebar if you want to read through them. And of course, post any questions or feedback!
Best of luck at the MeetUp, and blessings on your path to the Divine!
