It's Great To Be Here!

[Star_Priestess]

Hello! My name is Star_Priestess. Nice to meet everyone. Here are a few things that you should know about me:

1. My heritage comes from all over Europe with trace amounts of Native American on my mother’s side, but over half of it comes from the British Isles. Celtic pride!

2. I live in California, but I don’t consider myself to be American at all. I call myself a Child of the Earth, and I also believe that borders are antiquated and have no place if we humans want to live in peace. I’m also not a fan of the military.

3. I’m an Eclectic Solitary Witch. I first started my Path in 2007 when I was 11 when my father got me a Wiccan book for Christmas. I immediately fell in love and have since developed my Book of Shadows to include stuff from many different Traditions and what I found on the internet. You should see how many books I actually have. It’s incredible.

4. I don’t like giving the Goddess or God any specific names. Every time I do, it always seems like there’s something… lacking. I tried to follow Lady Selene and Lord Helios, but like I said it felt inadequate. I refer to them with titles, though, such as Queen of Witches and Lord of Wild Things.

5. I’m a writer. Close to twenty novels are in my head, and it’s very difficult to get them out on paper. Especially with college and my job as a cashier, I feel exhausted most of the time. I hope I’ll be able to find some time, though.

6. I spent two weeks in England this past June, and I loved it! I mostly spent that time in Glastonbury, where I met the Priestesses of Avalon. I had a sort of epiphany there, and I could feel the Goddess so strongly in my heart and soul. I hope that some day, I can open a Temple like the Priestesses did there.

7. What do I want out of this forum? Just some advice and other Pagans to talk to. I so rarely find a Witch or Pagan in my hometown, and even rarer is when I see them twice. Plus, some rituals aren’t making a lot of sense to me, so some help in that department would be appreciated.

Merry Meet and Blessed Be!

Hi and welcome. Hope to get know you. Designing rituals isn't my strength, but I do like to break things down to get to their root meaning. That seems to satisfy me. A good ritual can re-enact these meanings to reveal them for others...which, of course, is where I bog down.

Hello! very nice to meet you. I am also new to the forum and I hope we can get to know each other and while my rituals are consistent in many ways, I doubt you could call it a formal ritual. I've been doing them so long; I've picked up my own way of doing things that's probably not the "correct" way of doing a ritual. but it works for me.
Merry Meet and welcome!!!

Thank you all. I mostly just need some help with the flow of the rituals so that it doesn't seem awkward. I'll post what I have soon so feel free to check it out when I do.
