Re: Where did you start your path?
When did you first *discover* paganism?
December of 6th grade, I think?
Did you read a book, or meet someone that told you about it?
I was staying with my Mom at my Aunt's house for part of Christmas vacation. My cousin was away, so I was sleeping in her room. I found a book on Wicca, and spent a good portion of the night awake reading.
How long did it take you to figure out that *this* (whatever the heck that *this* was for you) was what you were looking for?
Not long at all. I started to feel that as I read that first book, and with a bit more studying I was sure that this was where I should be.
Do you still follow the same tradition?
No, it was a book on Wicca I was reading, and I haven't been Wiccan in a long time. There's still some Wiccan influence in my path, but a lot has changed.
How have your beliefs changed?
Some things have flat out changed. There has been a lot of evolution in my beliefs, and building on the basic things I believed then.
What (in your estimation) is the dumbest newbie thing you did or thought?
I don't really know. I'm sure I believed in a lot of silly or just plain wrong things when I was new. I think my dumbest mistake was not keeping better records of my spiritual growth, though! That's one thing I recommend to every newbie now.
