Okay, guys. I'm really excited right now! I've found a site http://www.magickaschool.com/
It looks very promising. Have any of you heard it or checked it out? If not, take a look and tell me what you think.

As for Ignitia... its okay! If you want to call me sister, I ain't got a problem with that, lol.

hahah...oh my goddesses, thats hilarious!

I looked at the site, and it seems interesting. I, personally, am a more hands on type person. And Im so about going out there, and finding stuff. But then again, that is what you did, it is just more technologically advanced than going and finding books! (I guess that makes me old school) But it is kind of neat. I might get over my apprehensiveness and join just to see what it is all about, and what they offer. If it is a big joke, then I wont fiddle with it any longer. seems ok, right?

Yup. Sounds cool to me. I've already joined and am checking out the forums and such. I just read the complete version of the Rede... its absolutely beautiful. I hope you enjoy the site, Ignitia.

Thanks Akuma. keep me posted on what you think of it, and I will do the same. and let me know if there is anything else I can give you insight on.
blessed be

scott cunninghams - wicca for the solitary practitioner is a great book for starters. also believe it or not there is a "dummies" book out there "wicca for dummies"
it actually is very well written with a lot of useful information for someone looking into the religion, and it is not written from any single perspective. the author gives descriptions from many different branches of wicca. after you get thru those books to start there are many many others out there that get into much more detail.
as far as a personal account. for me i grew up always knowing i felt different about religion than what most taught. i always questioned it because it did not feel right to me, I had my own opinions and they did not match the Christians.then I started reading about wicca about 3 years ago and BAMM I found out that the way i believed(I thought i was alone) many others believed the same way. It was wicca and it found me.I was "home"

That is great! Thank you for your help, Shadowhawk.

Ignitia, I'll try to keep you posted as long or often as I can. Thank you for offering your help, as well.

Blessed be.

i am interested in wicca/paganism & im studying it a little.

That is Awesome! I think its really interesting... but lately I've been faltering a little. Its been kind of difficult to continue with it, but I am going to hang in there and try to do whatever I can to keep it alive. Umm... you should try this website out:

www.magickaschool.com

Tell me what you think.

interesting,
i signed up for the wicca lesson.
wow thats a lot of reading--il try to keep up.

There is a lot of reading! The quest for knowledge never ends! There is so much information out there, it is mind-blowing. Keep up the studying, though!

Blessed be.

blessed be.

Hello to all! I hope everyone is doing fine. I feel pretty good, but I feel like I have hit a bit of a rut, spiritually. Does anyone have any suggestions? Its been really hard, especially since I've barely begun to actually practice anything and I have very limited knowledge. Please help!

Do not worry about any information that anyone says. All religion is is someone saying that one path is right, better, or fitting. I find that in most cases people are unsatisfied with some part of any religion and do their own thing anyway.

My suggestion, follow your own beliefs and find your own path.

sometimes others experience can lead to the path for another.And if someone shares the same belief then what is so wrong with asking for advice from another? Or even if you are just interested in that one religion? Not all people are saying one religion is the right one. Relax a bit.

Now back to the original question. I am sorry Akuma but i do not have suggestions for you. I feel that i am not the right person to give you such. I am sure someone on this forum will eventually give you some and when they do i hope it helps.

I'm certainly happy to help Akuma. I teach Wicca 101 Locally, and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
