I use to call myself Wiccan, but as I read, and learned, and talked to others, I felt that I had no right to call myself Wiccan. I really thought about DRW for a few days, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that this the right way for me. So thank you!

One day I hope that DRW is right next to trad books about Wicca as a means of informing everyone who wish to learn about the old way and our way, and that both ways are seen as valuable and insightful within the pagan community. Really you guys, I thank you so much for the support and the love. *hugs to all* You all are wonderful people who make my day.<br /> <br /> And Aislynn, thanks for listening to me back in May, I am so glad that we walked and talked our way to DRW, it's been a great journey, and I hope that you'll keep walking with me, even when I drive you bonkers.
