when have you found your Path and if you follow one your tradition? Pagan being an Umbrella term, what would you consider yourself if you choose to give it a label? I am a solitary Witch/Priestess/Mentor, I am ecclectic and do not prescribe to any one tradition. I am not a Wiccan or a wiccan oriented Witch. I have started studying and acknowledging my Path from age 6 on, with learning about other forms of Religion in the years in between, but have returned to my Path for many years now. I am not a Goddess Worshipper, but believe in the balance of Nature. I do not worship, rather take on the attributes of selective God/desses as given. I am currently mentoring my daughter in the understanding of paganism, with the push for her to make up her own mind what is right or wrong for her.

I am a solitary practioner that follows an eclectic path heavily influenced by the Sumerian culture and faith. I consider myself a Pagan and a Preistess of Lillake, or Lilith in modern tongue. I am not Wiccan though I did study with a Dianic Wiccan group for a long while.

I'm pretty much a solitary ecclectic..witch? I don't really cast many spells aside from candle spells. I still like to consider myself Wiccan or a Witch, it's just I don't really subscribe to any one way of thinking because I like thinking for myself and coming up with my own ideas and ways of doing things. It just feels nice to think that way and have my own thoughts and feelings on things.

I am a solitary eclectic Pagan who happens to be working with a group. We are a group of people of different faiths under the Pagan umbrella. We have a sort of a core group who is pretty much always there, but the rest tend to float in and out at their leisure. We pretty much meet ot do rituals at the Sabbats.

At this time I am solitary like the rest of you, and I have a strong attraction and affection for Egyptian gods and goddesses. I was raised Catholic. My great uncles were witches, but the family kept that a secret, I found out recently. I am still learning but I feel comfortable with my beliefs because it makes sense to me.

I am a solitary Pagan. I don't know what to consider my path to be as I have only been on it for a short time. I worship Brigid so I guess somewhere in there I am Celtic.

I am an eclectic Witch and most definately a solitary..always have been always will be....Reason being I PERSONALLY dont think I would be able to live my spiritual path to the fullest if I tried to work with others...there would IMO always be a bit of conflicting thoughts, ideas, methods etc and I just dont have the patience, time or desire for that ya know....I have always worked best on my own in all areas of life actually....LOL its that whole Black Leopard thing in me ;-)

At this time I am solitary, and I identify myself as pagan with a strong attraction/affection for Egyptian deities. I've also studied other religions & other cultures, and find myself borrowing from that knowledge when it seems appropriate to me.

I'm a hedgewitch. I'm mostly a solitaire, but I do practice with a couple close friends on occasion.

i am a solitary practising witch, i find it too limiting in groups as i am very ecclectic. i lean toward old celtic and green witch practices, and as you am more a believer of balance in nature. i started my path within the last 5 years tho i've been leaning away from structured religon all my life. i am enjoying the fact that on most channels this is a widely accepted topic of discussion, it helps a lot, not feel so alone with my beliefs thanks autumnraven
