Merry Meet!

I am in search of something that feels like home. Up until now, I have put forth a very modest effort at best, but I am about to change that. Wishing and hoping are no longer enough. Friends of mine are finding that what they want is not far off, but what about me? I’ve been on the path for almost a decade, and it’s about time I found a permanent place in the magickal/pagan community. I need my spirituality to take a bigger role in my life.

I am ashamed to say that jealousy is a part of what has driven me back into action, but it’s the truth—and here, I cannot lie. Others have found what they want. I feel left out and lonely—and in Minnesota, of all places! We are steeped in magick here, and I want to find a group of people to share it with.

What am I? I am an eclectic Wiccan, and I also consider myself a Witch; however, I can no longer tolerate a vague, lapsed kind of worship. If I could find others like me—a teacher, even!—I would be happier. Sumerian/Babylonian paganism speaks to me, you see….but does it speak to other Minnesotan pagans, too? That is something that I’d like to find out; failing that, a coven to call home would be ideal. All I really want is to feel that I have a community to be a part of. Given my current situation (that of a bisexual Wiccan who is also an undergraduate student at the University of St. Thomas), that seems to be a tall order.

My plan is already in motion, but the possible group—the brainchild of a new Witchvox acquaintance of mine—runs the risk of dissolving in August when said acquaintance leaves to attend graduate school in Chicago. Hopefully, those of us who are members at that point will be able to hold it together.

Here’s to hoping that my new friend's idea comes to fruition!
