An eclectic solitary, agnostic, Earth witch in Ontario.
When I was about 20 I decided to look into religions. I knew the traditional Christian ways were not for me. I didn’t like they way these religions viewed women. I had just read a book where the women were put into isolation after having their period or giving birth, they were “unclean”.

What do you tell people who ask you what Pagan means? How do you explain being a Witch? If you choose to explain at all, of course.
Religion is not a news item for public consumption. It’s a personal thing.
But, if someone does ask you and you decide you want them to understand, what do you say?… Read the rest
