I started out with Wicca and Brighid, Danu and Cernunnos, along with the rest of the Celtic Pantheon. I'm back there again although my version of Wicca is that of a solitary practitioner as Scott Cunningham writes it. With my son practicing witchcraft alongside me. Although we are both open to other authors as well. It took me long enough to figure out why paganism alone wasn't working for me: lack of hands-on practices, rituals and focus. What I had been trying to do for the past several years might have worked out well for others but it wasn't working out for me.
I have a lot of learning to do but at last I have the focus to do that. And it's not as complicated as I thought it was. I have several books already available to me: several Scott Cunningham books, Mrs. B's book about household magic and a couple of books by Bree NicGarran. I also belong to an online group with an amazing administrator/witch from whom I have already learned a lot.
I have my Celtic Oracle deck for divination that I already have a connection with but my Rider/Waite tarot deck and I don't click at all. I am considering Anglo-Saxon runes since I already have Alaric Albertson's book on Wyrdworking.
Having physical limitations has made me feel like my choices with witchcraft were few to non-existent but after talking with my friend/mentor, I like how accommodating Wicca/witchcraft really is. I'm not sure what I will end up with will be but it will be pretty close to Wicca. I am drawn to BTW as well. I'm not sure what the difference really is.
I'm not sure how often I will be able to post. Typing with one finger is time consuming but I do hope to make a better effort this time.
Until then...
