Hello everyone!  I am new to the boards and to paganism, but feel I am on a very enchanted path!  My name is dragoncurls, I live in New Mexico I am a capricorn born Jan 16th, I am married and have four lovely children and a fantastic husband.  I was raised very religious but never really felt close to God.  I picked up a book on paganism that my son left laying around,  I am so glad I did!  It was actually like coming home.  Hard to put into words but I am very excited about the new path I have chosen to take.  I am still learning and reading every little thing I can get my hands on, and it is so wonderful to be able to talk with people who have something in common with where your life is heading.  I love music, the outdoors..*lol which I know most of us do*  and I like anything of the paranormal...anyways. it is nice to meet you all and I am going to go now so I can read post.  Have a blessed day all!

Hi there,

I thought I would help you with some recommendations on books and websites that you may find helpful in learning more about your path. I would begin by reading through the posts on this board..you may find they answer some of your questions. Then check out the rest of Branwen?s site, particularly the Library, for other sound information.

My two favorite books for new people are "A Witch Alone" by Marian Green, and "21st Century Wicca" by Jennifer Hunter. The first will help you understand traditional Witchcraft better, and the second is a wonderful overview of Wicca. I also highly recommend "Drawing Down the Moon" by Margot Adler, "Voices from the Circle" by Prudence Jones and Caitlin Matthews, "The Elements of Ritual" by Deborah Lipp and "Practical Pagan" by Dana Eilers.

Some websites that are full of useful and accurate information include the ones below:

The Witches' Voice: http://www.witchvox.com

The Witches's Sabbats: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/7280/index.html

Wicca for the Rest of Us: http://wicca.timerift.net/

Enyo's Workshop:
http://www.wargoddess.net

Annwn's Cauldron: http://www.annwnscauldron.com/ (this site has a wonderful on-line course) You can find the first lessons on the message board at http://forums.delphiforums.com/n/nav/start.asp?webtag=annwn1

As you read and study, I'm sure you will find yourself full of lots of questions. And that's where this board comes in handy. There are lots of folks here with years of experience in many different paths who will be more than happy to help you with those questions as you find the path that will be uniquely yours. So welcome again, and we look forward to seeing lots more of you

PS:  I love your siggy!

Greetings and welcome to Branwen's

Well I see you are already making yourself at home and delving throught the threads and posts. There is heaps of information here... offered by many from all paths and courners of the world... so jump on in and enjoy.

As you are discovering this is a path of self responsability and research and once the seeking bug bites you will be amazed at all the information out there... the only trick is to sift the wheat from the chaff... just keep a level head, use coman sence and gut instinct and if in doubt ask... be it mortal or Divine for help.

Be bright, be bold
