Are you part of a coven or organized group? Or do you prefer to perform your rituals at home by yourself?

I have only worked alone as well. It can be lonely sometimes, though.

I prefer to be solitary, with the exception of my brother who I've done a number of rituals and celebrations with. It's been about 7 years since we've been together for that though.

My brother doesn't understand any religion besides Christianity. But, then, he doesn't try to. It's just difficult to find people who have similar beliefs where I live. But, I'm sort of afraid to try, too.

I can understand that. See if you can find an online community and find locals that way if you're interested in meeting folks near you with the same/similar beliefs.

I began as a solitary witch. I met my mentor online on a gaming site and he was teaching me basis on line and on the phone. After a few years he is now living with me and i am learning so much more that I am realising that I prefer to work in a group. By working in a group you tend to form a Coven which in turn turns into a family that you love and trust. I have always believed in the saying In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust and that is how I enter every ceremony or rituel we perform together. Honestly I wouldent have it any other way.

Solitary is probably the most common. I would hope to connect with a group and be more in tune and possibly powerful. We all need some sort of support from time to time and coming together for performing certain rituals would be a good time of sharing and support. I know that there is some online groups now and that is a good start.

Yes, I think that is the key. I would like support from others who have similar beliefs.

I mostly work on my own, but celebrate with my family. when the need arises, group work is sometimes done in my family, but mostly we all just get on with it in our own ways.

That would be nice. But, most of my family doesn't know because I don't feel comfortable telling them I'm pagan.

Though I wouldn't mind maybe belonging to a coven someday, I'm a solitary...that way I can do my rituals whenever and however I want ...
