Hi there. I'm Stephanie - I'm brand spankin' new to Mystic Wicks, and I'm a Celtic Christian. <Listens for a resounding "HI STEPHANIE!" from the community, while praying that nobody smacks her for joining a pagan community when she isn't even a pagan.>

I've been lurking through the message boards here for a while, and I've been planning this Introduction message for a couple of weeks, wondering when the "right time" would be. Apparently, now's the right time, because here I am. Let's hope I made a good choice!

First things first: I'm normal, and I'm not here to pick on anyone. I'm here for the same reason everyone else is - for community. And also because I've felt a burning need to write a message here for the last couple of weeks (no, not some religious rant designed to attack pagan spirituality or anything of that nature - I don't do that kind of thing at all).

In addition to being a Celtic Christian, I'm a writer and the mother of one teenaged daughter who is soon to turn nineteen (which makes me *old,* obviously <g>). I'm a major coffee and tea freak; I love Absolutely Fabulous (sweetie dahling!); I enjoy cooking, gardening, travel, Murder She Wrote, reading of all kinds, and a million other things.

I'm currently working on a book project, so I'm not online as much as I wish I could be... but the project is meaningful, so I'm having fun with it (Celtic spirituality & mysticism), and I have a Celtic religious themed website in development. I've been studying the Celtic traditions for about 20 years.

To end this introduction - I'd just like to say that I hope that it's okay with all of you that I'm here. I hope that once you get to know me and hear a bit more about what brought me to Mystic Wicks, you'll understand why I decided to join, and maybe I can be a beneficial part of the community in some way.

Looking forward to meeting you!

Thank you so much for all of your messages. I feel much better now - well, I didn't feel nervous before; I felt right about coming here... but I admit to feeling a little worried that I may not be *wanted.* The pagan community may be large and growing, but there still are few places where you all can really speak openly and not be attacked; the last thing I would imagine anyone would want to risk is having people sort of "worm in" on your - turf? Hangout? Whatever you'd want to call it - and then have it turn out that they had bad intentions.

I'm a peacemaker - but there are unfortunately many people who are cruel in the name of peace, for whatever bizarre reason. But that's for another thread, isn't it? <g> LOL (Can you people tell that I have things on my mind?! ROFL)

Thanks again for your warmth - it's definitely noticed, and happily received. Hugs all around!
