I am very, VERY new to paganism (I came to realise the parallels between Wicca and my own life philosophies after some research into the former), and feeling myself kind of alone (although the support here is great!). Anyway, I live in a small town of 2500 people, and believed myself to be the only pagan. However, I recently was approached by another person who is also pagan, and I feel like our friendship has deepened so much. She has been Wiccan for a few years I think, and so has many books which she has offered for my own use.
I just feel like I've found someone who understands what I feel. With my friends, I'm constantly explainging myself and my beleiefs, even as I just discover them. And I have been called a witch so many times, despite the fact that I have never tried any spells or even any rituals. (I know the instant I light a candle, my mother will either expect that, despite my vegetarianism, I will try to sacrifice a cow or virgin, or that I'm going to burn the house down, because of my lack of coordination.) And although I've never been one to keep quiet, I'm learning that it's smart to stay quiet, and let the world remain ignorant, because I'm being criticized so much for what I believe, even in World Religions class.
Anyway, I just wanted to share that I've found someone with similar beliefs and I feel like it's really great! She was such a great friend before, adn now it's even better. Thanks for listening!
