Everything old is new again

I grew up in a United Church christian household; not overtly christian mind you… there was not generally grace said before meals or pictures on the walls of saints and christ – we were United after all, not Catholic or Orthodox – but christian none the less.
“Paganism” to me was unknown for much of my life, I knew of witches as being something of fiction and fantasy, let alone to get started into all the other paths currently practiced.
When I found out that a friend of mine at the time was going camping for a weekend at AEPG (Avalon East Pagan Gathering), I was confused… the what what?
“Oh yeah, he’s a Practicing Druid, didn’t y’know? ”
That can be pretty much be nailed down as the moment that this new world and life started for me, the very FIRST moment I saw all this new stuff to experience, looking back now it wasn’t even that much!

Sometimes I wish I could go back to the moments when everything was new to me, but then I think about all I’ve experienced and learned, and know that I just need to work at not letting what I have go stale and mundane.
