Being Pagan as a teenager was like most people’s, hard. Having a parent who is very Christian & wants the world to know about it. Up and singing Sunday morning to Jesus tunes about forgiveness, being a sinner, God’s love, the blood of Jesus. All that jazz that mysteriously never transferred to her not hitting me, being emotionally manipulative, telling me I’m going to hell, or her telling me to my face she hates me. Weird right? So lo and behold when I was in middle school and had a beloved friend tell me about this religion called Wicca he happened upon and how it was about nature, witchcraft, Gods and magick. It was bizarre and new to me as I’ve heard of Abrahamic faiths. Your Muslims, Jews, and obvious Christians, but never much beyond that as contemporary faiths are concerned. We talked for a while about it and called it a day, but that set the seed of Paganism in my mind. A seed that would sprout soon after starting high school.

Back In Action
It’s been a very long time, but I’m glad to be back. Most of you don’t know, but about ten years ago i made Circle of the Divine with the hopes of connecting Pagans the world over no matter their affiliation. I had a great community built, a lot of videos, forum posts, books, what have you. Basically everything but the kitchen sink, but then I started running into a lot of resistances with my family & changes with my living situation and heart. After a lot of thought I decided to move on. But now I’m back & more ready than ever to rebuild a community of Pagans. To give insight and support to new Pagans, and a stable place to call home for our more senior ranks. Building The Circle will take a lot of time and effort, love and growth, but I look forward to rekindling the flame and having this site become the community I know it can be. I hope you all help me and this community prosper!
