I am sorry I am doing this anonymously (best I can), but I really do not want to keep this question inside me. I am prompted to bring this up because both of you have had such a positive influence on my life. This is why your opinion matters to me. You see, I am a Modern Pagan. This can mean many different things to many different people. In general though, modern pagans are Earth-centric spiritual faiths that uses traditions and gods/goddesses that predate-Christianity. For example, I have prayed to the Goddess Athena before. Here is one link about it if you want further information: http://www.religioustolerance.org/neo_paga.htm I do have friends and family who are supportive (or indifferent) towards my spiritual path. Mostly, I keep my spiritual practice to myself unless someone asks about the pentacle around my neck or the conversation brings up our personal religions. This has helped me have a peace of mind around them. I have also an understanding of what I can't discuss around people. For example, my parents are having difficulty understanding my spiritual beliefs--so I keep to myself during Christmas that I am simultaneously celebrating Yule. I just wait for them to ask me questions before I bring up the topic. The worst has been my friend who abandoned me once I began my path two years ago. That reaction isn't that uncommon, I've found, after talking to other pagans. But I understood why he reacted the way he did. It is really only those who I value opinions of that I have told about my personal spiritual path. So I just want to know what your feelings about it are. I will not be angry or think differently of you if you have negative feelings about my spirituality. You two, again, mean a lot to me; I value your opinion of what is going on in my life. If you have any questions, of course you can ask. I'll answer anything, other then perhaps who I am. If you do happen to think negatively about my spiritual path, I want to make it so it doesn't affect our friendship. I can tell you that I do not see you all that often, but only on sparse occasions. If you prefer I keep my distance, I can do that too. I hate to make this sound like I am making this out to be a "bad thing", when really this spiritual change has helped me so much in my life. I just don't want to make you feel like you have to accept something you don't want to. I think that is all I need to say. I am going to await your response. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Sincerely, Anonymous. To Dale and Hannah–
