My name is London O'Brien and I am a pagan/witchcraft practitioner. My health has been keeping me quiet lately, not unlike the many pagan groups here in Alaska. Would be nice to vitalize the pagan community for those interested. Here it is another pagan/witch's new year this October and few of us are getting together and fewer still casting the open circles hand in hand with like mind and spirit. In my experience, it seems to be easier to be solitary because venturing out sometimes means having to contend with a few "nuts/weirdos" here and there, which can leave one thinking, "Is this really all there is here?" No! There are good people in Alaska who don't believe they can change the weather or are impervious to fire. (I actually experienced some meetups with these sorts)  I am confident I will continue to meet other wonderful people along the path. MM to all!

Merry Meet, London. A belated welcome to the site. I'm sorry I was MIA, life issues the past few months and forgotten passwords... ::shakes head:: I am back around now, however, and know exactly how you feel on the stuff you said.

I am a solitary by choice, and yet I still want to be a part of the community. Like you I have met my share of those who make me wonder, but I have also, thankfully, met enough others who make me want to be a part of the pagan community and to find friends within it that I can network with and talk to.

Anyway, welcome to the site, I hope my absence did not cause you to think the site is abandoned, because it was just life in general causing it to appear as though it were.

Brightest Blessings to you.
