Hello Everyone!

Hello Everyone!

Hi there, my name is Sarah and I'm new here(I might change my name if I need to avoid confusion). 

I just recently started studying paganism, I'm starting with learning about Wicca because it's seems the most accessible to me right now. I was first interested in witchcraft when I was 12, but life issues got in the way and it never went anywhere.  I come from a Christian background, I started to really identify as one when I was 17(my path was close to Quakerism). I still have a lot of respect and love for Jesus' teachings, and how it has inspired people(like Tolstoy and the Catholic Worker). But, I'd keep on finding myself at a place where I know that Christianity is not my path, and I'm finally ready to sincerely explore what is. 

So, a little more about me.. I live in Southern Ontario, Canada, I play piano, I love animals(I'm owned by a dog and a guinea pig), I'm a vegan, I'm working towards studying culinary arts, and I'm not sure what else... 

I look forward to meeting people, and learning!

Nice to meet you. I look for forward to seeing you around the site. You may find a few of our groups interesting such as Nutritional Healing, The Recipe Exchange, and Yummy Healthy Eats though I do warn you that some us us (meaning ME lol) are  fundementalist, dare I say fanatical meat eaters and I tend to publish many fleshy recipes. I'd love to get a few vegetarian dishes under my belt if you feel like sharing.

Thank you all for continuing your warm welcomes :). I've been here for a little over a month now, and even though I don't post a lot, I do come on regularly and read others posts and blogs(and the lunar calendar is really useful too!) and I've joined a few groups. I'm enjoying my stay. So far, I've read Wicca For Begginers by Thea Sabin, Drawing Down the Moon, and right now I'm reading Spiral Dance by Starhawk, and I just bought Deborah Lipp's Elements of Ritual(a little advanced for me right now, but I think it will be very useful soon). This might sound corny, but I've honestly never felt so right about anything as I do with the direction my spiritual path is going. :)

Blessed Be, 

Lavender

Hail, Sarah! Life is for exploring, so explore! I started out as Wiccan when I first found Paganism(I was sort of raised in it and it was what I knew) and eventually moved on to Heathenism and Reconstructionism. I'm also from Southern Ontario, but you already know that. This seems like a good place to get your questions answered. Welcome again!

Another good beginners book is Triumph of the Moon by Ronald Hutton...

Wow.. like 9 months later and people are still giving me warm welcomes! 

I need to write a journal entry on my journey.. I started around Imbolc, I was falling apart as a person, and here I am around Samhain, enjoying the harvest and everything in my life has come together(for the first time in my 21 years on this planet). 

Love to you all!
