Lovely Witch Nioda
Morgandria
We all start somewhere. I'm from a small rural town and had the same start. I learned on my own for a good 10 years before I had the chance to meet other Pagans, and I didn't get the chance to meet anyone involved with BTW for a further 5 years. You do need a good bullshit detector to make it on your own, and the ability to read critically, and do research - but you can do it and do it well. Don't let it discourage you.
There are covens located all over parts of the Bible Belt, BTW or otherwise. Trad Wiccans don't tend to make themselves obvious, though, or easily accessible - you do have to work a bit to find them, and work a bit more to actually interact with them. That's by design. smile
I'm really glad I joined this guild. I'm not really sure I'd do very well in a coven. I'm not used to being in groups of people.
I'm the same way; I don't think a coven environment is a good fit for me. But who knows? in the future, I may find a coven - Wiccan or 1734 or Feri or otherwise - that I really gel with and change my mind.
