And So It Begins

Merry Meet!

Hi my name's Twitchy. I've been a Wiccan Witch for almost six years now and have been meaning to start my own blog for almost two. Crazy right? I guess I just haven't had time to get around to it. Yeah, I know excuses, excuses; anywho I have been looking around the web and have just been thinking "Hmmm, where are all the blogs by witches my age?" Seriously folks, I have talked to maybe, four pagan teens in my Wiccan
- what would you call it? career? lifetime? yeah that sounds good-
my wiccan lifetime. And this makes me really sad cuz i know there are a TON of great non-fluffy teens who are seriously wanting to learn the craft.

Now just a disclaimer - I don't claim to learn all there is too know. Gods, I don't know a percent of all there is to know, but I do want to learn and share with all my awesome, wonderful, crazy, great pagan friends.

So where do I begin? At the beginning I guess!

Okay, I have been Wiccan for what will be six years this summer solstice. That sounds like forever (not really, but a good long time when you consider that's almost a third of my lifetime) but it seems like yesterday I was a fluffy goofy witchy girl following everything I read. Wait... that was yesterday. Lol, just kidding it was last week. Okay, now I don't seriously consider myself fluffy but I'm sure to some eighty year old high priest who has been Wiccan since birth (is there such a creature?) I am as fluffy as the newbie who started learning yesterday. But honestly I try to be all duly serious when it's needed. Anywho, back to my original point. I wanted to tell y'all about how I came to be my fruity little self. I blame it all on Neopets. Seriously! I kid you not! This story cracks me up every time I tell it but it is 100 percent true. Would I lie to my people? Of course not!!! So I was a youngin' surfing Neopets guilds, my mom had just signed the paper that let me join guilds and post on the forums so I was totally abusing my privileges and happened upon a guild that claimed that 'Magyck, Otherkin and Vampyres are REAL' and I quote. I didn't buy it honest! Okay, okay, maybe a little but I was an innocent little runt who grew up in a family that claimed to be open and for the most part was, aside from an exceedingly Christian mother, so I was very much a believer. It was because of this that, after much link surfing and many 'you have got to be kidding me's later (there's some weird things you can get to, link surfing. Even if you start at Neopets) that I found myself on TeenWitch. I was intrigued and so started researching, finding my way to many coven homepages and eventually to Witches Voice which helped me find my true path and knocked -most of- my fluff out :) So, essentially, Neopets (and natural curiosity) led me to Paganism, and specifically Wicca.

That is how, in short, I came to be who I am : an Out-Of-The-Broom-Closet, honest to Goddess, Witch. Well out of the broom closet is another story entirely but you all know what I mean right?

I have friends from all walks of life now, Dianic, Druidic, Eclectic, Catholic, and even Jehovah's Witness. So just because you are, or aren't, Pagan keep your eyes open for more friends. You can NEVER have enough!

Well that seems like a good first post so I'm gonna wind it up. I'll get back to you next week at the latest. I promise. If you have something to share or have a crazy 'How I became Pagan' story yourself you can catch me at TwtchyWitch@gmail.com
Don't hesitate. I love hearing from new friends
