does anyone know any good, active forums for solitary wiccans with people that are more welcoming? I've been feeling as if some of the people on the community I talk with are being too judgmental and not understanding enough to honest concerns I have about spiritually related events that transpire in my life.  They jump to conclusions on things and then when I feel I have a valid concern they go, "Oh that's probably nothing," and don't really help much, and I'd really just like to have people I can feel more comfortable with and get fewer negative criticisms from.  Thanks & Blessed Be!

I'm so excited for the full moon and lunar eclipse! Anyone doing anything special/fun? I haven't really done any rituals for full moons yet as I'm still learning.  Any good ideas?

Blessed Be!

So I'm not sure what to do for Imbolc.  i'm thinking, as a solitary I'm going to do some reading up on it, and meditations and sit and enjoy my altar as I ease my way more comfortably on the path.  

Recently I've been studying more on the tarot and enjoying it.  For a long time I wasn't comfortable with them, and lately I've been increasingly interested in them, bought myself a pocket deck with designs I enjoyed, realized the Rider Waite deck brought on some weird feelings in me, maybe because some of the images are a little more...I don't know, they give me uncomfortable vibes, I don't think bad, just uncomfortable ones...anywho...

I'm a bit sleepy and will probably talk more tomorrow.

Blessed be.

I made some pentagram cookies today; they came out well, but I think I should've added some more sugar.  I bought the pentagram cookie stamp from the wiccan way website.  I think it's wiccanway.com.  They are a family owned web store and have been trying to maintain a family oriented base to the site and their content.  

My mother actually helped make the dough for the cookies, but she rolled her eyes when she saw me bring out my pentagram cookie stamp.  She and my dad think it's "a bunch of hooey" and they actually sat me down and asked whether or not someone forced me to believe in this "stuff." 

I said, no, I made the decision and did the research on my own.  I was surprisingly calm about it, but each approach about it is no walk in the park.  But I take it as a learning experience.  They have to learn, as I've already told them, that this path has made me happy, comfortable and feel safer than I did before.  That it's my decision to follow it.  But I know it's not going to be an easy road.  

And I think I'm going to try and get a photo of the plate of cookies to post.   

Blessed Be!
