Hi all,
I'm a solitary Wiccan, and have been for many years. Recently, I've been thinking a great deal about seeking out a coven. Has anyone here gone from practising alone to a group situation? I feel I'd get a lot out of working with other people, but I'm also highly dubious at meeting genuinely like-minded people. There's a local pagan group that meets socially every month, and I've no doubt popping along for a drink would start the process of actually finding other witches to do real work with, but I just can't get past the fact that there are so many "ifs" involved. While I obviously enjoy working alone, I've started to feel that if I'm to truly develop further as a witch, I'm going to have to get past the decision and either find a group or accept that I'm always going to be a solitary and just get on with it. My doubt is that I'm learning enough alone, and that my progression's become rudderless.
Any advice welcome. I've been very much undecided for about a year now.
Cheers,
WoW

Hi WoW,
Why not pursueyour local pagan group& see how it plays out. If you figure out you think you would advance more on your own then you can always go back to that (or do it at the same time). You obviously feel like you want to work with others (or at least try it out) as you have been thinking about it for a year. Just go for it. Youwont know unless you give it a go & there's no harm in finding out! I would love to meet & workwith like-minded people, but I am yet to meet someone who thinks along the same lines as me so I'm happy doing my own thing on my own for now &that way I'm not involved with things that aren't quite me. (if that makes sense!)
Good luck 🙂
Love & Light,

Hi there,
Many thanks for the reply. I think you're right. Unless I give it a go, I'm never going to know whether or not I'm suited to it. I'm never going to find out whether or not there are other truly like-minded people in the area unless I go and look for them, I guess. It all feels a little daunting though, I have to admit. I think I'll find out when the next meeting is and make my mind up about whether or not I'm going to dtick my head through the door.
Whatever I decide, I'll hang out here for a bit. It's nice to just be able to talk openly about Wicca, to be honest 🙂
