I have read a lot about Wicca and find the ideas and values of it very appealing and interesting. But how do you fit it into your modern life? It seems very hard to begin celebrating Sabats etc when your partner is not Wiccan and you do not know anyone who is. It also seems that a lot of the things you need are really expensive. How do you overcome these things?

This is one of the things that I always struggle with. I find it difficult sometimes to either make time or to find the time. Sometimes I find it hard to actually make time to do things when I won't be bothered. I'm constantly around people and sometimes they just don't get the hint to leave me alone. A lot of times I take to doing things that don't seem very magical but really aren't mundane either. I cleanse rooms with salt and water, I boil herbs on the stove to restore order and keep the place smelling nice. You just have to find other ways to make it work sometimes. I know it's hard but I think being creative is part of the Pagan practice.

One of my favorite books on the subject of magic being used every day is called Everyday Magic by Dorothy Morrison. It has really helpful and insightful tips on how to use magic for normal, every day things and the best ways to make magic using everyday, normal household items.

Sometimes, it takes finding others who are struggling with the same thing. Despite our enlightened society, there are still many topics that are not well tolerated by the majority. You will not find many supporters out in the open. I have often wondered if there are groups of Wiccans who practice "underground" because of their jobs, spouses, family or status in society. And how do you pierce their cloak of invisibility? Hard to be visible when you don't really want to be.
