I learned years back when I chose to walk this path it would not be easy. There would be a lot to carry alone. My husband who was a devote baptist is very supportive of me, but loves his own religion. My outer family, lets just say they arent interested....lol.
The good thing is my husband and children love nature. So they do a lot with me without even realizing it. I teach my children everything I know and learn.
I have a wonderful mentor who has been on this path since birth and her parents before her, so it makes it a little easier on my lessons, and harder.....lol. She is wonderful though. She saw me and knew it was my path before I did and she waited for me to come to her.
I know this is the path for me without a doubt. There are just moments, you know, that you ask yourself, why is it the best path, cant be the prettiest path just once!!??!!
Greetings, Merry Meet and Welcome to Covenspace... I've always had interest in the magickal aspects and in witches. But it was not until I was in my 40's that I decided to search out others on the Internet. I got lucky and found a wonderful witch (well she found me truth be told...) that introduced me into the wonderful world of Paganism. I haven't been the old me since. I have been in groups and have been alone. Some of my family knows of my path now and accepts it, my sister and her daughter has now gotten onto their path, and some friends just thinks its a fad that I am going through. My bf however thinks/calls it black magic, voodoo, devil worship. This really angers me especially when he has no faith at all, and hasn't been in church since he was forced to as a young boy. I have tried to explain it to him, but to no avail, he doesn't care to know about it. One can't teach the ignorant if they are so closed minded and has a harden heart. So in my own home I to am lonely, but I just met some wonderful ladies that has started a group this past weekend, so my prayers once again has been answered by being lead to them.... I shall not be lonely again. Blessings to you,
