Why I Do This

It's a pretty good question to ask, if you were wondering. I mean, most of what I post IS pretty random, after all.

But that's the point. And the reasons I have for making this blog are entirely selfish.

Here's the thing: when I first started looking at Paganism, I saw all  these blogs by adult witches, heathens, Wiccans, what have you. Tons of it. Lots of books aimed at teens finding their spirituality.

I saw squat by anyone my age. The closest I found was College Wicca, and . . . oh, wait, I'm a high schooler. So . . . I felt pretty left out. Kinda alone. I knew there were other teenagers that believed the same things I did, I just didn't really see anything from them.

So now I'm trying to give that. Yeah, there's some magic, a book review, lots and lots and LOTS of silly stuff. And it's exactly what I was looking for two years ago when I started on this path.

I'm doing this so that you - yes, you, in the beanie, the messy hair and the graphite-smudged plastic Harry Potter glasses, hiding the copy of What to Do When Someone You Love is Wiccan behind Deathly Hallows and a paper book cover - so that you can get a bit of insight into someone else like you. Someone who, hey, understands a bit, and is just as worried about clothes and friends and math class and what in the world goes on in adult brains.

Not much else to say beside that, really. Just thought I'd let you know. So, drop me a line, leave a comment; I'm perfectly free to chat.

Ta,
