I haven't heard of "fire witches" before, any chance you'd be willing to explain? Or maybe recommend books/websites that would contain good information? I'd also love to hear more about your personal celebrations etc if it's not too much to ask.
Here's some cool info:
Thanks nvr! I'll check it out when I get a few at home

BigWilly, aside from an apostafest I would love to meet up with you sometime and talk about all of this, I think its fascinating. I LOVE your ink. I've wated a tattoo for a long time, but I want something that has spiritual significance to me, yet I work in a "professional" setting, so I can't have something that shows. Makes it difficult to find something that fits.
I would be hella stoked to hng out and discuss with you some time. Especially seeing that you are a solitary practitioner. The next few weeks are gonna be insane for me, but I'll plan on hooking up with after that if the offer stands.
Thanks for the compliment on my ink, it's near and dear to my heart on many levels. I'm in the same position as you when it comes to covering up the ink, so all of mine are in concealable places. I highly recommend browsing tattoo mags/websites just to get an idea of what's out there. Also, ask random people who's ink you like where they got it done, this will help you find a good artist by seeing a wide sampling of their work. Most shops have their artists' portfolios out on display which is good to help decide as well.My artist was recommended to me by a friend and I was seriously impressed with the quality of his work.
Can't wait to see ya again!

Thanks Black Swan, it was a cool group and they covered a wide variety of belief structures. I like the minister here and really liked the range of material covered. The Mr Rogers sermon was followed by a reading from the Tao Te Ching. Very comfortable environment to aquire a diversity of knowledge. I never quite got around to attending any of the pagan meetings (scheduling issues) but it seemed like a good learning evironment. I just don't crave the association portion, ya know?
I'm with you about the mellow Sunday with good company. Tho I also used to be a member of the "open road, wind in the face" church of Yamaha As long as people do what makes them happy, the rest is really superficial.

by bbdodger inhey everyone... i'm so happy that a forum like this exists.
it makes me feel like i'm not the only one.
even my mother, who has been disfellowshipped for nearly 20 years still calls sites and literature like this "apostate".

Welcome! There's definitely a comfort interacting with people who know the story. I was out for 10+ years before I found the boards. It's seriously wonderful to be able to talk about whatever subject without having to explain the back story every time.

Disclaimer: This is my personal experience and in no way reflects an endorsement of nor preaching about said group.
Locally (Portland, OR) I attended a UU service out of curiosity and my partner at the time's desire. I was pleasantly suprised when the "church service" started out with a Tibetan prayer bowl and the "main talk" was about Fred Rogers (Mr Rogers) and what a cool cat he was. It was a non-pushy, non-christiany, non-churchy (though in a church) church experience. After the initial visit (I rode my motorcycle to the place and walked in wearing tshirt, jeans and facial piercings) I attended a few more times and took a UU 101 type class. Interesting group, they described themselves as "athiests with children". Basically, not interested in religion so much as they wanted to gather with like-minded people and provide a social environment for their children. Still not my gig and I can't really be arsed to get up early on a Sunday to sit and listen to anyone (rather be riding).
The reason that I mention this on this particular thread is partly in response to some of Black Swan's experiences religion wise. The main reason though is that the local UU has a Pagan group associated with it. So within a technically Christian religion you have a subgroup of defenite pagans, athiests and mixture of eastern religions. It was a nice way to get aquainted with several different religious basics in one place. I no longer livein the area where this group was located, but may still make the trip back there for some of their pagan gatherings for the educational opportunities it would offer.
