Merry Meet all... I'm from a lot of places... Born in CA, raised 27 years in OK, and Moved back to CA 97 (Sacramento Air Logistics Center), then to PA (Tobyhanna Army Depot) in 98, then to UT (Hill AFB) then Okinawa Japan (Kadena AB) Finally here Fredericksburg in July of last year. I found paganism the same time I first got sober in 1995. I had some rough paths and relapsed in 96. I finally got the program down in 97. About this same time I embraced the Great Goddess and life seems to keep getting better all the time. Here is a little about my spiritual path... I am very interested in the spiritual path outlined in The Spiral Dance by Starhawk. I have been a seeker for many years looking for a path that I could follow and that would fill a void in my spiritual being. I started down a Native American path when I started attending 12 step meetings nine years ago. This path "felt" right to me... but out of respect for my Native brothers and their concern that it was diluting their heritage, I abandon this path. Since I have European heritage I turned to Wicca. I first read The Spiral Dance 6 years ago and continue to attempt to follow Starhawks teachings only as a solitary. I'm pretty shy about meeting new people. I researched on the web but could not find a coven in my area. I would love to be able to attend an elemental magic class, and then an Iron pentacle class. Maybe some day they will do one online???
Any how good meeting you all
Johnny

Merry Meet all (again)... I'm pretty bad about keeping up with people... I'll try and do better. I'm sort of a workaholic and life is pretty busy. I'm still in Fredericksburg since July 2006. It is hard to believe 2 years went by so fast. I really miss Okinawa I loved living in Japan. I'm still sober and in August Goddess willing will celebrate 11 years clean and sober. This is why I like the spiritual path outlined in The Spiral Dance by Starhawk. Since the Faerie Tradition supports a clean and sober circle. Lately I have been trying to follow the 15 week spiritual intensive in the book “Be a Goddess” by Fracesca DeGrandis but have sort of hit a snag on week five. Maybe this weekend I will be able to start again? Any how good meeting you all again and I'll try and do better about posting Johnny

Maybe this weekend I will be able to start again? I would love to hear your input/experience/opinion on this book. And nice to see you again.
