Some First Thoughts on "Wicca: A Year and A Day"

I was in middle school when I first became interested in a pagan path. After reading Harry Potter ad Tamora Pierce, watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Craft, and becoming increasingly frustrated with Judaism, it was only natural that I would find my way into the occult. I never really did anything with it, however. I read a ton of books and blogs, and decided that if I was going to be a witch, I had to do it "right". However, for a girl with limited budget and not allowed to light candles in my room, it never really got off the ground. I did spend a lot of time researching herbs and coping down Oghams to right secret messages to myself.
