Just post or message them~

Well, you are a witch wink While witchcraft is not a religion, some identify with the term as a description of their primary spirituality.

I refer to her as the Goddess~

Ah, Goddess-worshipper, then. There are various traditions thereof. Reclaiming and Dianic witchcraft spring to mind.

Well, I've looked around a bit at what I am exactly.
I have decided that I follow a mix of Wicca and Shamanism.

Now, I just need a name for it that I can call myself!

Well, Wicca is an orthopraxic, initiatory, mystery, fertility witchcult, and shamanism is a Siberian tradition of otherworld travel. Uh. "Pagan" would probably cut it. I'd avoid using the words "Wiccan" or "Shaman" because your qualifications for both titles will soon be called into question.

*shrugs*
I'm going with the Shaminism part, because I started learning about it a little after my tenth birthday. So, I'm very big on healing, but not so much on the visions part. And healing spells are all I know from witchcraft, so take all that for what you will.

Just to be clear, you started learning a Siberian otherworld travelling tradition? Did you need to learn it from a Siberian shaman, or are there other methods? What is the Siberian otherworld like? I've never been.

Witchcraft is witchcraft. Wicca is Wicca. *shrugs* Yes?

My Grandmother knew it. And she learned from her parents, and so on. My parents aren't aware of any of this, by the way.
Hmmm, now that is a question.
Lets see...it's like...being where you were when you traveled, but different. Like, everything is in the same place, you just get a different...feel from everything. I just fried my brain thinking of how to say that~
Sorry if it doesn't make sense...

No, I mean what's the Siberian otherworld like, specifically. Cold? Is it much like Siberia, or different? What techniques are used to attain it? I don't know much about the culture; are there sweats involved? Why did your grandmother not teach your parents? Does one need to be of a particular ilk? Why not simply follow your ancestors tradition? - why involve another culture in it?

I, personally consider myself an eclectic pagan. I draw my spiritual teachings from several traditions. Primarily Egyptian, Faerie, and Goddess traditions. Though, depending on what I'm working with, I will use elements of other paths as well. In the end, I feel that all paths share a common understanding of life as a whole.
