Not all of us are ex-Christians, Muslims, or Catholic. If you were once Wiccan, Pagan, Astaru or anything labeled under the Neo-pagan umbrella here is your chance to tell your story. Tell your stoires here about your experinces with neo-pagans.

Comment by James Kz on September 4, 2012 at 7:17am Well, not much going on here so I will throw in my shilling's worth. I went straight from Family Traditional Wicca to atheism. (Last October, my wife finally got to me.)
Though I have been peripherally involved with other groups of Wiccans, mostly my practice was solitary in nature (pun, solitary, nature, oh never mind).
I always viewed the ideas of God and Goddess more as archetypes than as real beings, thus letting go of Wicca was not as difficult as I might have imagined. (I still wear my pentacle though, A-it's sliver, B-it still works as a talisman to repel Christian missionaries).
I find here in my new village in Nebraska that the villagers are even less comfortable with the idea I am an atheist than they were with me as a Wiccan (the old "you gotta believe in something" canard).
Until I met my wife, I'd never run into someone who'd rejected the supernatural premises of Wicca, though she still runs a Wiccan-oriented Website (for that matter, I'd not run into very many Wiccans at all, particularly when I was in the Navy)
Comment by Sarah Walton on May 24, 2012 at 5:27pm Can anyone recommend some documentaries about the Salem Witch Trials or witch trials in New England?
Comment by Sarah Walton on May 10, 2012 at 10:12pm You too, Steph!
Good deal Sarah! It is always so nice to bump into you on the site!
Comment by Sarah Walton on May 5, 2012 at 8:02pm Super good! Just got back from the California Academy of Sciences. Great way to spend a Saturday with friends!
Yeah that is a good idea to have a book like that Selina.
How's everyone doing?
Comment by Prog Rock Girl on May 5, 2012 at 1:19pm Great idea Selina!
Comment by Selina Mannion on May 5, 2012 at 11:16am I would like stories of leaving your religion for my anthology. I am looking for a story about 12 pages give or take. I am including one story for each religion in my book. I am a former muslim and my story will be included as well.
Comment by SDF on April 7, 2012 at 8:58am Hi Don! I have a big old Mjolnir tattooed on my left arm, I still wear my pentacle because I like what it represents, I still worship Mother Earth in my respect for the actual planet that supports me. I kind of just dropped the religitardation that accompanies all magical/religious belief systems. I love the old gods as poetry and metaphor.
