Our original focus for
these pages was educating people who are new to Wicca,
and to neo-paganism in general, and showing others with
an interest what we're about. After a while, we
realized that there is already a lot of wonderful
introductory material on the Net, and our introduction
isn't unique enough to contribute as much as we'd
hoped. We also noticed that there isn't nearly enough
information for people past the beginner stage.
With that in mind, we
decided to change our focus. Now we plan to provide
articles and essays on various topics, which should be
helpful to those with more experience as well as to
those who have recently found their path. The
introductory material we already have will remain
available, but we probably won't continue to enlarge
it. Some topics we've considered are:
- Ethical
considerations
- Ritual construction
- Concepts of deity
- Ways our religion
effects our everyday lives
- Community service
efforts within a Wiccan/Pagan ideology
- How we view and are
impacted by the wheel of the year
- Transition points in
our personal paths
These are just a few
examples. More essays from our coveners will be
appearing quite soon. If you'd like to see
something in particular, or to contribute, please tell
us. We welcome submissions.
