are there any wiccans on this board? I was agnostic for most of my life,till I found that the wiccan religion is very much as I believe.

there are some. there are quite a few more though who are just Pagan. Wicca is something quite specific, and even if it's the path for you, it's difficult to find a coven

I have two dream books and they are right on the money. Lucky Star Dream Book and the Success Dream Book. those books are very good.

that is great,yes,dreams are a means of looking into yourself and see many things,I to have had dreams come true,but many of them are so far distant that it is more like daj-avew. there are many books for interpreting dreams,have you read any? thank you for your comment.

Hello Asheka,I have been reading and learning about wicca,and found out,that at present,I can only say that I am more pagan at this time,I do hope soon to be able to advance myself to wiccan and or witch in the future. I am afraid I do not know where your city is,would you please let me know,I am in Alberta. thank you for your answer.

I laughingly kid people and say I'm a Born Again Pagan....I was baptized Catholic, confirmed Protestant, but due to my great-granmother, who I swear was probably a witch, studied the concepts of Unity, Science Of Mind, etc....so in other words I never exactly grew up in a conventionally raised family with any particular religion--As far back as I can remember I've always been a tad unorthodox in my attitude toward life, so accepting the Wicca/pagan concepts of lilfe just seemed natural for me--I consider myself both Wicca and Pagan, and I don't follow any strict wicca traditon like Gardnerian---While nice, it really isn't necessary to join a coven...I wouldn't mind belonging to one, but I really just don't think it's necessary---you have a problem with depression which is why you remain solitary--well I don't suffer from depression but I'm still in the midst of overcoming agoraphobia, of which I plan to succeed...very determined here! I think the think the whole reason the world is the way it is is due to the three big religions which are male-dominated--there is no recognizing of a feminine aspect of the divine--it is like yin without yang, black without white, positive without negative...no wonder the world is out of balance--the majority of people raised in Judaism, christianity or Islam don't recognize the feminine aspect of the divine...so no wonder the world is screwed up!!

thank you for your answer pyewacket,as I gave up trying to understand any of the "organized"religions,it matters not on who domminates,as an agnostic,I was just shown that my beliefs are closely tied with that of the wiccan and witch,so I am going to learn all I can. someday,I hope to be able to advance to a full wiccan.

Though I am not wiccan but if I was in any organized faith that would be it. It fits most closely to my own believes. Vicki

For a time I was getting into buddhism but not I find wicca to be very interesting and I am highly considering getting into it. Can you tell me anything about it?

hello caitbaby,thank you for answering. As I am still new to wiccan myself,i can try to give you my ideas on it,but I have a lot to learn as well,Icannis and a few others are better versed than I,and I read everything they write as well. one good way for me to advise you,would be to direct you to look up wiccan on the net and check out the links. For myself,I was agnostic,and as I have followed Native American culture,and having read about wiccan on the net,I changed to it,and have nothing but good to say,it has helped me through some tough times of late. Blessed Be.

thank you Ravenladyj,as I am still very new,I plan on studying the whole concept of wicca,and figure which is the right path,but I know,I will pick one to follow fully.

same for me! I couldn't stand the exclusionary aspects of "orgaized" religion and felt I found where I belonged when I discovered Wicca. I'm still very new with it, but feel it's the right path for me.

Hello whogirl,I am the same,have been reading a lot lately on the religion,and will be getting a number of the books and other items for pagan and wiccan ceremonies,I am also very interested in history,and find this is very old,but new religion. thank you for your answer.
