Hello world.

This felt like a good idea when I actually made the blog, but now that I'm here I'm having a hard time making a good introduction. I've never thought of myself as the kind of person who was into blogs. I mean, if I can barely keep up with writing in a journal, something made only for my benefit, then why should I have better luck with a blog where other can take a dump on me, or completely ignore me.

I mean, given that the world of the internet is free to criticize what's basically a public diary, why do people blog? Is it for sharing? For some petty chunk of fame? Do some people think their lives are more interesting than they actually are? All of those reasons are quite possible, but none of them are the reason why I'm here. I guess the reason I decided to give this a shot is because part of me lonely. Not in the broad sense of the word: I do have a tight, yet small, group of people I call friends (a title I am very selective in handing out), my relationship with my parents is above average though certainly not perfect, and there's even a guy I decided I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. But there's a chunk of me that's been thirsty for something else.

As you can see by my title and name, I clearly wear a cross around my neck religiously and would go to church every day if God would allow me...Actually some people like that would love to see people like me burned at the stakes, or hanged since we're talking about America. Witch, Devil-worshiper, nymphomaniac...I've heard them all, and though I don't mind the first and last term so much I prefer Wiccan. No, I'm not some 15 year old kid who's dabbling into it because it looked cool on TV, but yes I enjoy dancing around the woods naked when the opportunity arises. I could talk forever about what I've learned about Wicca and what I think about it, but that's part of the reason I've made a full on blog.

The other reason? Despite how many years I've identified as a Wiccan, I've never been able to sit down and talk with another Wiccan about Wiccan stuff. It's not really something to talk about where I grew up, and though I've come out of the broom closet at my school there hasn't been anybody who's familiar with Wicca as well. I don't have any interest in joining a coven, because putting the Wiccan label aside I'm too independent to want someone else to tell me what to do and when: that's what my mother is for. What I want is to be able to talk to others and exchange ideas, thoughts, experiences, in a non-formal, non face-to-face environment. Forums are too crowded, and covens are too formal (almost religious). All I want to do is talk about Wicca with other people who know what they're talking about, like talking about favorite foods or movies. Maybe I can even learn something from you guys.
