About Me
I've been a practicing witch about 12 years now and still feel like I've got sooo much to learn!
Movies
Horror movies are my favorites, even the campy old ones!
TV
Right now I'm watching Brothers & Sisters, Grey's Anatomy, and Medium.
Books
I adore reading, mostly horror, true crime stories, and medical thrillers.
Likes
Connecting with fellow witches, any Italian food, and cats!
Dislikes
Judgmental, closed-minded people, and anyone who feels their cell phone conversation should be held in public where we all have to listen to it!!
Hobbies
Reading, playing on computer, and reading tarot.
Vices
Smoking and speaking my mind no matter what!
Virtues
Speaking my mind no matter what (ok, that one goes both ways), loyalty, and honesty.
Heroes
Anyone honest and courageous enough to show the world who they really are!
I belong to a group that I wanted to tell you about, the Pagan Unity Campaign. Our goals are simple, to unite the Pagan community.
The mission of the Pagan Unity Campaign (PUC) is to unify the many diverse branches of Paganism in America. We want all Pagans to come together under the banner of Freedom. Nothing would be more unifying than if we could all feel safe enough to emerge from the social darkness of the broom closet, free of the oppressive chains of fear and hate.
For more info you can contact me or the main PUC site at http://www.paganunitycampaign.org/
This was posted in one of the groups I belong to and I wanted to pass it on.

An Open Letter To A Witch
I do not know what tradition you follow. That does not matter. Indeed, for all I know, you may not follow any of the traditions. You may be one of those that, for whatever reason, must worship by "feel' rather than through any formal coven training or participation. But whoever you are, and however you worship, all that matters to me is that you hold true to the Goddess and the God. My purpose in writing this letter is to enjoin your aid in destroying that which cripples our Craft. Dissension is the disease. It is not a cancer, for it can be cured; and, as with most herbal cures, the best treatment is that administered internally. Friend, help spread the Brotherhood and Sisterhood of the Craft. Do not seek to establish a scale of Wicca purism, (for no two Witches will ever agree on the relative positions on the scale of even their own tradition.) There is no one religion for all people, and THERE IS NO ONE TRADITION FOR ALL WITCHES! Let this be understood, and accepted. Choose your own path and let your neighbor choose his or hers. Remember the primary tenet: "AN YE HARM NONE, DO AS YE WILL." Yet never forget:"An ye harm none..." If your path leads to sex rites, to homosexuality, to phallic-initiation... Do not put it forward as "THE WICCAN WAY". It is only A Wiccan way, one of MANY. And by the same token, if a path so presented is not your way, do not decry it simply because it is not your way. Who are you to say another is wrong, so long as it harms none. Strive for honesty, friend. Do not make false Craft claims, whether of position, heredity, lineage, or whatever. If you have a quarrel with someone, seek out the one you disagree with, rather than utilize perhaps unreliable intermediaries. Do not spread unfound rumors and question those who do so. News of battle makes more exciting reading than news of peace. Why, then, provide battle news for publication when the serenity of the Craft is what we should be showing? We have come a long way, friend, in a few short years. Let us move along our chosen paths till we emerge- as we will- accepted and respected by ALL as a religion in our own right. Help us bring an end to washing our dirty linen in public. There will always be disagreements. There will always be those who cannot tolerate others, but they are in the minority and so they should remain, if you wish. But do not deny them their right to those differences. Friend, we are Children of the Universe, and Children of the Goddess and the God. Let us remember that, and live in Peace. Blesses Be, and Merry Part!
I'm new here to Covenspace, I just learned about it from Wicked Lil Witch in the Pagan's Night Out group from Yahoo. I'm looking forward to meeting lots of you!
I work in Pagan activism in PA as the State Chair of the Pagan Unity Campaign and I'm active in several local Pagan groups in my area.
I have 2 children, both grown and married, and I'm expecting my first grandchild in Sept.
I'm so thrilled to find a place geared toward us and our interests, so send me a message and let's get to know each other!
Welcome to covenspace and
Blessed Be & Merry Part
Maria
