hello everyone, I am new here

[AngelKitty]

by accident i found this forum, but i really hope someone can help me. Though I am not sure exactly how.
I am going through quite a rough time now, marriage (or non-marriage wise), which has caused me to question pretty much everything my life consisted of so far. Including, well, everything. I am pretty new to all this, magic, wicca, whatever you may call it.
I own a lot of books, read most of them, did some smaller rituals before, but am very aware that that is just the beginning of the way... So my question or questions now is, how do I know I even have the potential to learn more about Wicca, Paganism? How do I figure this out?
Like I said, I was very sure of what I wanted in life, but recent events have caused me to question pretty much everything I thought I knew before.
Maybe one of you can give me some guidance on how to get everything back to normal...

Hiya first of all :) :wave: Welcome to the boards :):)

Second..everyone has the potential if you want to get technical. It's more like do you have the determination for all the hard work involved? Willing to learn all you can and really put your heart into it? Thats what you should really be asking yourself.

[AngelKitty]

Determination is not the problem... I do want to learn.
I just find myself at a loss for direction. What I mean by this is, well to say it in a simple way-where, what, how, why?
Guess you could say I am on a quest to find myself...
Now what?

Hi and welcome! :sunny:
I would suggest doing some nice simple meditation (sort of my answer to everything). I find that just sitting still for a fixed period of time and not allowing myself to get caught up in my thoughts really sorts out everything that's on my mind and helps me get in touch with myself.

Welcome to mystic wicks, AngelKitty. Just by wanting to learn, you have the potential. And just by actively seeking as you are doing now, you've started yourself down this new path. I never feel that I've ever reached the point where I say "this is it! I'm done." The book forum has a thread with a list of recomended books...not that you have to read them all. And like everyone else said, lots of great info here. If you ask a question, someone seems to always know the answer or at least point you in the right direction.

:wave: Merry Meet and Welcome Home! And while we're shamelessly plugging our forums :lol: I'd like to invite you over to Magick and Rituals. I've just started some stuck threads with basic info and will be adding to them.

Hey! If I was shamelessly plugging my forums, I would mention that we're offering hot chocolate & cookies in the Green Room! :D
