Does anybody mind if I lurk here and ask questions now and again?
I've gone through life without really identifying myself with a spritual philosophy, other than my own mishmash of thoughts and beliefs just from life's experiences and pulling from -isms here and there.

I reject organized religions, particularly those involving Christianity - not because I don't believe in the teachings of Jesus, but I don't support all the BS that has grown around him, and think most of it is actually an affront to his meaning.

But I find myself leaning toward spirituality based in nature, and have always been drawn to Wiccan and Native American teachings and philosophies.

So I may be spending quite a bit of time here, and hopefully none of my questions will be stupid.

1. Ask away!
This is a slow moving room, but we check in from time to time! So you ask all the questions your heart desires!

Brightest Blessings!

2. I doubt any of us would care if you asked questions
or lurked for that matter. I know most of the Witches I know are more willing to answer questions to have someone gain insight than have that same person simply go on incorrect things they have been told about us.

3. Most of the Pagan folk I know would welcome any questions
you might have. We don't proselytize, as such, but we sure do like to talk about our traditions; when we feel safe, that is.

6. Agreed
I would love to help someone, anyone find their spiritual path. If questions that I can help answer do that, then so be it!
Merry Meet and Blessed Be!
I hope you can find the answers you seek.

4. There are no stupid questions (only stupid answers)
Seriously, it's how most people got here.
We are not supposed to proselitize (one of the attractions for me), but since the last burnings we can answer questions....for a whole at least.

You have a nice eclectic attitude. You belong here, I think.

7. I would also like to lurk
And I will fearlessly ask stupid questions! The world of the Allegedly Rational is failing me at every turn--and there must be a good reason why it is referred to as the Ancient Wisdom.

I want to know more about the powers that, I am told, are available to us all--and thanks to the kindness of a truly wise woman, these groups are now open to me.

Thanks to all who have demonstrated such open minds and welcoming attitudes here!

Sudden Peace,

:loveya:

8. No problem!
Ask away, just don't be surprised if you get three different answers from each person who responds to any questions you might ask.
