I never know how to refer to myself, as Pagan, As wiccan or simply as a Witch. I'm all three. The more i read into different Pagan beliefs the more i learn. But if you have to be all technical about it, you can just call me a Dianic Witch.
Over the course of 2 years i found my path. I wasn't sure at first, and i have been accused of being scared off by Christianity. That might be true though. I didn't feel safe in that atmosphere, but in my solitary practices i feel very comfortable, very very safe.
Witchcraft is all about a love of nature. That is the most important thing. Through the craft you learn how to heal others, speak to plants, Trees, spirits and animals. You learn to divine you dreams and the future. To communicate with The God and Goddess. You learn about yourself, secrets hidden deep inside. It's a beautiful religion. I haven't had the experience of being in a coven, but i hope to some day. There are lots of books out there for Solitary witches, which offer insight into doing it on your own.
