Don't back off shy yet, LBZ...most of the folks here on The Cellar are pretty friendly...give 'em another chance.

I wasn't really anything before following my Wiccan path. I went to just about any and all churches in my younger days, trying to figure it all out. I found Christianity to be way too hypocritical and guilt-ridden, and just didn't ring true for me, so I drifted, not quite certain about anything except science for about twenty years. My best friend since HS (1974 grad) has been a witch for about twenty years now, and I was familiar with the path through her. I sort of slowly crept into the local Pagan community, and began writing for and editing the local Pagan publication that my friend published. She and I have also played music for over thirty years together, and a lot of that is traditional Celtic and Pagan-oriented stuff. I think I mostly woke up one day and said, "Hey...I think I'm Pagan."

Then I married a witch, and she started a coven after finishing her lengthy study under another high priestess, and so I've been working with my wife as her de-facto high priest for a few years now.

Our coven meets here at our house in a room in our basement set aside for just that purpose (go back to Philosophy and click on the link there for some pics). We meet every Sunday night (nothing odd in that, it was just the most convenient night, as it turned out). And we actually *do* pray, LBZ. Prayer is just a form of energy transfer, and it works. Doesn't matter to whom or what you pray, it is the *doing* that counts and causes things to change.

Anyway, go on back to Philosophy...no one is going to bite you, and if they do, I'll holler at 'em for you.
