Like most of "Us", I have had a long and strange road (hmmm, there's a song in that statement somewhere) getting to where I am now. I was originally initiated into a group when I was 20 that included a shamanist, a western ceremonialist, and a tantrist. That was 22 years ago and left a tremendously foul taste in my mouth for the Craft. I spent the next dozen years using small bits and pieces of the Craft, and could never look at the moon without the Goddess crossing my mind, yet I avoided paganism as much as I could even though it was in front of me no matter what I did.
In the mid 90s I came across a website on Wicca and I was home. To quote a friend, "I was sure of my path and finally discovered a name to describe it." After a few more years, I quite worrying about LABELS (the whole wicca vs witch thing) and started proudly calling myself wiccan.
I know good bit about a few things, but I am so ignorant about so much more that I am always surprised at how much. The main lacking would be knowledge of Cernunnos (a common problem). Though I knew and honoured the Goddess, somehow I missed the other-half of the equation.
My other current learning quests are dream walking
and to finally meet and know my Spirit guides for what they/he/she/it are.
I am a member of the Hattiesburg Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Hattiesburg, MS and a founding member of Central Mississippi CUUPS. I would recommend the UU and esp. CUUPS to ALL Pagans.
