I was helping someone try to get a pagan group going in our area. Somehow Mol found our Yahoo list and he and Semele and Trey came to our first Meet and Greet.

I didn't find out until much later that they knew Flar. Well, actually, I didn't realize that this was who they were talking about when Semele told me about the patient she had recruited to be a mod.......

I came here after doing a google on Herbs (the GreenRoom thread came up) I took a look around to see which way the wind blows and signed up. The rest is history, my friend.

I found this site by being bored at work and almost setting my jacket on fire, then came to some random persons personal page on crystals and viola - a link to the magestic mysticwicks was laid before me.

I found it when I was in Los Angeles.

The only people I knew when I got there were my boyfriend and my daughter, I was unemployed and lonely and reaching the end of my rope.

I happened to run a search for Pagans one night and the link came up. I just wanted someone to talk to.:)

Well, way back like a little over three years ago, Eaglewolf had a website aboutwicca.com. I found his site through Witchvox, and saw that they were looking for people to write articles on various subjects... So I started talking to him, and he directed me here... And I've been here ever since...

Gods Mol has it really been over three years?

I was Googling some info on magical herbs, found a couple of good sites, and then followed a bunch of links, like a trail of breadcrumbs through the forest, that led... HERE! First I lurked for a little while, too - couldn't believe all the information, and how respectful, nice and helpful people are to one another. Most forums I've visited aren't like that at all, and so I lose interest in them very quickly without ever joining in. I've never seen anything else even close to MW. To me, MW is a very special place, made up of all of you incredible people. I love it - thanks for having me here!

January 30th, 2004, 09:58 AM
Well, let's see. I am Semele's sister so I found out about it really as soon as it was started. Of course, I am a slacker and it only took me three years, I think. Since I have become a member, however, I can't stay off the computer. I always have to see if anyone has posted anything else about... I love the MW family and am so glad I finally came around. Fine Mol, you were right. I love MW. There. Are you happy? I hope so cause I am.
:hailmol: ;)

I just typed “paganforums.org” into the address bar. I was wondering if there was a Paganforums.org on analogy to Christianforums, and I hit the jackpot. Paganforums.org is, of course, the other domain name for Mystic Wicks.

Now for an anecdote: I couldn’t access Mystic Wicks by typing the Mysticwicks.com address into computers at college. There was an Internet Security page telling me it was on the Denied List. So I thought I was scuppered. Then one day I tried entering through Paganforums.org, and voila, I got in! The fools who composed the Denied List overlooked the other domain name. Talk about finding a backdoor. :D

Kaylara posted a response on Witchvox (Wren's Nest) regarding the idea for the Sci-Fi Channel show "Mad Mad House", and mentioned that there was more discussion about it over at MysticWicks -- I was intrigued. One click, and the rest is history!

Wow, that was already nine months ago! Where does the time go?

I found this place a-Googling. I was looking for other message boards and forums because I was unhappy with the other ones I belonged to and how long it took anyone to respond to anything. Well, I got more than I bargained for here, lol. At first I lurked (even though I registered) because I was intimidated by the shear volume of posts here, thought I'd get lost in the shuffle or just never have time to read anything. But once I actually started reading and getting involved, I was more than pleasantly surprised. You guys are awesome and I'm so happy I found this place. It really gives me a sense of belonging, even though we're all scattered around the world.

during the Great B'net Exodus left by a friend (Yeah, you, Blue!). But I like to refer to it as following the bread crumbs they left in the Woods for others to follow.

Emily Fair told me about this place. (Thanks again Em!)

I was a member of another board and it just seemed like people there were always angry, slamming each other, cussing each other, attacking each other ... and I didn't feel like that that was what a spiritual community should be like.

I wanted to have a place to go to where the people were warm and loving, a community that cared about each other and strived to help each other and ... POOF there was Mystic Wicks!

Thanks to all of you for making this such a wonderful place!

Brightest Blessings to you all!

I had seen it mentioned on several other boards when they have done the obligatory "What other boards do you visit?" threads. Anytime I came over, it always seemed so huge, I kinda got spooked. But I was on the outs with another board, and a good friend of mine told me that she came here alot. So I checked in, and haven't checked out yet... :D

I found this place through MothersMagic primarily...I had been wondering what on earth Amberlaine was talking about with her title at that time..."Dude, What's a Mol" but i was also chin deep at Mamatron/Hipmama forums and not real happy about the climate at the close...I had also found beliefnet and had grown to respect PB, Windsinger, KBlackthorn, Eric and others but was tired of the tone over there. I wondered in here and liked it. The quality moderation and upbeat tone here hooked me...

and 1300++ posts and I am still here...

I happened to run into HuntinOwl and VroomBroom at a store back in October, and HO commented on the Celtic knotwork in my cross. He mentioned he thought the knotwork on the type of cross I was wearing could be considered by some to be contradictory, until I mentioned that I believed they were quite complimentary. When I told him I was a Christian witch he told me about MW, and I've been hooked ever since.

I missed this the first time around...but feel the need to say how I got to MW. I had just moved from Minnesota, where I was hooked into the pagan community fairly well, to Arizona where I knew no one. (NO ONE!!...Job transfers suck folks.) Anyway a dear Christian friend of mine told me about this place she thought I would like. That it was a positive and growing on line pagan community. Boy was she right!! Frankly, without MW I don't know how I would have survived being here in Arizona. MW was my refuge and in many regards still is one of my favorite places on the planet. Thanks Mol and Semele et al. :)

After a couple of days I managed to get internet.
A that time it had been 7 years since I had had a serious theological dicussion.
So I googled 'pagan chat' and this site came up.
I probaly frustrated Mol because I was having trouble with my E-mail server (I don't E-mail (except my mother) and hadn't had a E-mail service in 3 years)
Glad I got here though.

I found it accidently whilst surfing under the influence of wine. I was trying to find out the answer to a question I had about paganism, found this site, registered, promptly forgot both my question and my password due to inebriation, computer died shortly after (?), didnt have another one for nearly a year, asked for another password and finally introduced myself to you all.

well worth the wait, and the hangover! :bumpsmili

I Googled for Tarot Groups and then spent three years in the Tarot Hole hardly ever venturing out :kooky: . The forum was a lot smaller back then as I seem to recall and the comunity was much smaller. It's only in this last year I've really got out and about around the boards more. Sometimes I still retreat back to my nest and lurk in the darker corners of the Tarot Hole. :T

I voted "search result" even though mine was by pure "freak of nature accident", I'm pretty sure...

There was this plant that was in my yard already when I moved into my house about 8 years ago... all this time, I'd never thought much about it... one day, I get all fired up about it and decide to find out what kind it is, and whether or not it has any medicinal properties... but I didn't know where to look... happened across a plant that looked like it in a store later that day I think... wrote down the name... typed in "lirope and medicinal/spiritual purposes" or something like that... up popped a link to a post over in herbal...

I'll be honest... when I first came here it was all pink and stuff and I didn't look properly, so I thought it was one of those forums for preppy cheerleaders who wanted power. I lost power in August and got my internet back October and MW was on my history. Now I lub it. It's my homepage.
