So I signed up for an online course on paganism which is basically just a series of e mails that each have a gazillion links that lead to a gazillion more links and before you know it, it's worse than getting lost in wikipedia or cracked.com. And who shows up in the second e mail but Demeter. She's goddess of the harvest and Mabon is coming up so that's awesome.
I ordered a candle kit today, although I noticed too late that it doesn't come with a thermometer. I saw some at the craft store so I guess I'll just go pick one up later and maybe an essential oil or two. I ordered a kit with soy wax after reading about the benefits. I figure I'll start with that. The reviews said it's an excellent kit for beginners.
I read more about the different branches of Paganism and decided it would be in my best interest to remain solitary. After all, the whole reason I got away from UUism was because I felt too pressured by the social aspect. I think what I'm after in this journey is a better connection to myself. After all, how can you make connections to other people if you don't even know yourself?
There is just so much information! I love it. And I keep reminding myself not to get overwhelmed. I want to learn all the things at once but I know I'll burn myself out if I do.
