Welcome, Gaia Windwalker!

Hi,
I appreciate all the warm welcomes. I have been visiting different sites and trying to get an idea of how to do this. I have never done a bit like this so I don't really know what I am doing.
Bear with me please and I will get the hang of this.
I hope to become as smart, funny and interesting as all the folks here at paganspace. I am looking forward to many super friends.
A little about myself.
I always knew I was meant to be different. I remember my maternal grandmother brewing concoctions and chanting spell while standing naked under the moon. I was quite young and she never really taught me the craft but she did not hide it either. My mother kept hers more private so I never really learned from her either.
When I went to live with my Paternal grandmother in Alabama, I learned to live a pagan farm life. She never admitted as to being a witch but she taught me to use herbs we dug up out in the woods. She was in every way a conjure/healing woman. We did however attend church on sundays so I became more of a christian pagan.
When I grew older I went through spells of denial and would not even allow myself to think of anything other than the christian way of life, but my pagan fate would not let me be. I would make friends that believed in the old ways without even realizing it. Books on the occult or wicca would find their way into my life and I would give them away. Even weirder I became very aware of psychic events in my life, such as dreams that came true, knowing who was calling before the phone rang. Just very strange things.
Finally in 1980 i stopped to pick a shelf up out of the trash. In a box of books I found a book by Dorothy Morrison. I lay the book up on a shelf to give away and forgot it. I would find myself waking in the night with this book on my mind or I would pull something down and the book would fall and hit me in the head. Finally I decided to read this relentless book. I was amazed. It was like it was written for me personally. I started studying everything I could get on Witchcraft. I sincerely believe your destiny stalks you in life. At the age of 30 I gave into mine and I truly believe my life has been better. I haven't turned my back on the christian way of believing but thanks to Wicca I see all beliefs in a different light. I don't look down on anyones way of believing, after all, that is a choice in life. We are not born with a certain belief system inbedded in our DNA. Human life is to short on this earth to let silly fears and ignorance make us blind to all possibilities. Do what thou wilst, Harm none!
