Hi All,

Name: Ang
Gender: Female
Age: 31
Location: New York
Pagan Path: I was raised Roman Catholic and my family is Sicilian with some pagan traditions obscured with christianity
Time Practicing: I have no formal training, only some traditions. I realized there was more to me sometime in my teens.
Special Areas: I wouldn't call it a specialty per se, rather, I have a lot of empathetic episodes.

I would just like to add that there are so many misconceptions associated with beliefs and oftentimes those misconceptions result in fear. I don't necessarily understand what happens to me and why.

I would like to be able to focus myself, my energy and my mind in all areas of my life. I think that if I can be led to understand what holds me back, I can let go of the fear which holds me back.

Blessings to All.

Pagan Path: Paganism kind of implies religion. I'm an ignostic and postmodern magician. That best describes me (though I hate claiming any titles or labels...but I guess I have to describe it best for other.)

Time Pacticing: 9 years (I feel old)

Special Areas: Rituals of baking cookies, and the spells of cookie consumption.
