Everything old is new again

July 3, 2009

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.

The first (but not last!)

July 2, 2009

Well, intro post, we meet at last.

I’ve never been one for writing on a regular basis (in any format), so I’m really going to make an effort to not bore the crap out of people on this blog, fingers crossed!

Now I will lay this out there; I do not consider myself to be much of a storehouse of knowledge on paganism, but I’ll pass along what knowledge I can and update with lots of opinions about living on the east coast and being a dirt worshiping heathen.
