As I progress there will be more about me. Maybe.

I am currently sitting in my bedroom with an itchy singer's throat reading Out of the Broom Closet. Sounds like a cheesy book, no? It is actually a book about me, not me me but me as in how I feel or how I can hope things will turn out for me.

I was just a introverted, rebellious girl who would have nothing to do with any form of heirarchy, whether it was my parents, governments, or religious "Thou Shalt Not's". At the "ripe" old age of sixteen I got my calling. An experiance with relationships and experimenting made me have more self-respect. From then on I changed. No longer caring what people thought, no longer wondering if I had a religion(or not) that would suit me, and no longer wanting to be rebellious to my parents.

Yes, I dress in black, I listen to rock/metal genres, I like to wear eyeliner, and even like blood. My parents thought it would be a phase that would end and I would return to the Seventh Day Adventist Church. It has been almost seven years since I believed in the angry, malevolent, prejudice God, who still loves us mind and soul. I had always been attracted to magic: from Legend of Zelda to Disney movies as a young child, to the Salem Witch Trials and prejudice against Pagans now. Fieldtrips to nature reserves were my favorite. I would be the one to get muddy and not be bothered by it. Biology was my favorite science class when I would dissect animals and incects [xD Almost typed incest!], knowing that the more I got to know how creatures worked, the closer to nature I became.

It was in a bookstore that a friend of mine and myself were infront of the New Age section. Our eyes were shining with curiousity and fear. Curiousity of what we could learn and fear of if our parents found us. We had written many stories about having powers, speaking spells and collecting crystals. This is where our path really began. We knew from a start that the name of Silver Ravenwolf sounded floofy to us and stayed away from the books with that name. However we saw Cunningham, Hiscock-Murphy, and Digitalis. I discarded Digitalis immediately after I read his Goth Craft book. It wasn't on any path but was just a manual of how to fit in Goth society.

I had enough of the goth stereotype that my mother would place on me. No longer would I be screwed with and that day I became a WOMAN. Hiscock-Murphy's book on Solitary Wicca was my first physical step into being who I am today. I would read books on Wicca, Witchcraft and other Eastern religions that could be considered under the Pagan umbrella. I scorned Bush through the TV, looked at people weirdly when they would act as if it was okay to make fun of another's religion, and kept my spiritual beliefs to myself and the friend.

Soon my friends found out, all supportive and wanting to get to know me better, and gladly accepted me for who I was. My group of friends consists of: Outcasts, Gays, Straights, Bi-Sexuals, Asexuals, sports fans, choir members, marching band musicians, marital artists, Japanese culture enthusists, D&D/WoW players, people who recieved A's & B's, people who recieved C's, D's & F's, sex addicts, depressive people, ADHD and OCD people, intellectuals, and the socially awkward. Our religions ranged from: Christianity, Atheism, Agnostics, and Pagans. The majority were Agnostic but there were many who were Pagan.

I so happened to be friends with all the Pagans and the Pagan-Interested. (Deep sigh.) For being the most "sneaky", or as I like to put it, skilled, I was looked up to the most for info on Paganism, in specific Wicca. So then I found myself with my friend at that bookstore, making our way to a new way of being, for the better.

Whenever material was available I would read it, mostly in solitude so that I wouldn't be disturbed. However my sister, ignorant to anything but Buddhism, found me reading Ascension Magick one day and told me that I shouldn't fool around with dangerous and evil things like that. Now I knew my studies would have to be when both of my parents worked(night-shift workers) or when I was at school from 7:30a-3:05p.

Oh the joy when I touched The Way of the Green Witch for the first time. I never felt anymore sure than when I bought this book. I felt as if I could do little things to still be a Green Witch.

[More to come soon.]

My music is where no one can judge me. Music gets me through life better than a councelor, doesn't matter if it is Rock, Metal, Classical, R&B, Soundscapes, Classic Rock, or whatever. I read the lyrics and listen to the melodies which keep me sane.

I roll my eyes whenever someone accuses me of being a Satanist. Usually, arseholes like that have NO IDEA who I am and don't even know my name. Obviously those people don't study up on religion or don't have a lot of knowledge about people.

At my work there are a lot of Pagan customers and most are happy to see another Pagan in their favorite store. :3
