I discovered Wicca in a very amusing way. I was dating this guy about 7 years ago and he warned me that his ex-girlfriend was a witch and might put a spell on me. Deciding I should look into it, just in case, I found Scott Cunningham's Guide for the Solitary Practitioner. Reading it I found mostly what I had already believed, I just found out that it had a name. So, I ended up ditching the guy and became friends with his ex!
Since then I've had most of my learning through books. I found one person who taught me Wicca 1 before I moved elsewhere. She also taught me Shamanic Journeying and gave me my first and second (at different times) Reiki attunements. I haven't really done much Shamanic Journeying on my own since because I can't do it as well alone. I'm currently trying to practice distance healing and learn all of the Reiki symbols so I can get my third (master's) attunement. This will allow me to teach others and give attunements to others.
I started off as a solitary. Two years ago, I discovered the Circle of All Paths and did a few rituals with them. Then I moved away, to the far reaches of the southern tier of NY. I made some wonderful friends there and we had one ritual together before I moved away. I miss them all. Now I'm about two hours away from the Circle of All Paths, so I'm back to doing rituals with them, weather permitting.
My spiritual training has been kind of haphazard. I know a wealth of information from my many books. I dabble in various forms of divination. I know a smattering about various Gods and Goddesses. I've collected and made various tools that I absolutely love (and that I never use)! I've done spells and they've all worked so far. I've done an initiation for myself. Oh, and I love rocks and gemstones. I love the Crystal Bible! However, I still don't have a magical name or a patron Goddess or God. I know many Pagans and Wiccans who work with their patron deities, I just haven't found mine yet.
Um, I can't think of anything else. If there's anything you want to know, ask.
