Or should that be Blessed Be?

I would describe myself as having a pagan heart but being non-practicing. I revel in nature and go a bit bonkers if my contact is limited. When I get out and about I de-stress again. I keep up with meditiation to an extent but since I tend to do it in bed before sleep my boyfriend generally snores or rolls over and distracts me! I used to be part of a healing class but even that has fallen by the wayside!

Despite all this, I think you're correct when you say being pagan is something that comes from within, and it was something that evolved in me first, and later I found out there were others with similar beliefs who had a name for them.

I suppose I would like to develop further, but it's something that feels very personal to me and I seldom have the privacy. I have heard that "When the pupil is ready, the teacher will come", so perhaps the time is just not right yet.

Anyway, just wanted to make contact!

Hi pinky boodles ?

I'm not sure where Kaz has got to (shes a busy bee!) but will i do for a natter?

I think you're right when you say when the pupil is eady..etc..thats certainly how it was for me!

Hi Serephina,

(gratefully accepts and offers )

There don't seem to be too many pagans around here. Perhaps they prefer to lurk in the shadows.

(Munching - sorry will try not to spray crumbs!)

How long have you been a hedgewitch? I have the Rae Beth book kicking about somewhere but haven't read it for quite a while. I'll have to look it out and dust it off.

Mmmmm

I really should be thinking about a diet!

There are quite a few pagans around here, I know a few myself..with this being such a big site though theres prolly a few places people hang around.

I've not been practising all that long..abut a year or so? so i'm fairly new to it all. I wasn't too keen on the Rae Beth book..shes a little flowery for my liking but I have used the book for refernce n altered bits n pieces..

Sometimes I find it a little weird taking things from books - the rituals don't always feel natural to me. I suppose you just need to mess about with them until you find what's right for you.

I think ritual during meditation is easier, as I have a specific place I can go to, but then there's always the chance I'll fall asleep...

More ?

The only times i've tried any astral plane work ive fallen asleep

Yeah, that's the only problem! I just find it easier to get into, less distractions, that sort of thing. The difficulty is in maintaining consciousness!

I am ... sort of christian. sort of. I couldn't imagine not having a pet around the house. i get stressed and need a good forest to cool me off. so I'm not sure. whatever I am, it's pretty relaxed, and (I hope) tolerant. I would like to know about healing, coz i care about people a bit.
