Thought I'd introduce myself...
« on: August 07, 2017, 06:05:05 am »
Hi everyone. My name is Genevieve. I live in central Oregon but I'm from California.

I am quite new to paganism and have had many obstacles in my life that have kept me from following my true path. I was raised Christian but always knew there was more to life than organized religion. I first came to be aware of the pagan life by way of my borderline personality disorder. In a depressive episode, I began to contemplate a way of life that is free and nature based. At this time I had no clue paganism existed. My soul was just leading me to find out more. So I typed a description of what I sought into Youtube and the rest, as they say, is history.

That was over 2 years ago and I have had many ups and downs since. It wasn't until a week ago I started to think clearly and leave behind the need to please everyone but myself. I have readied myself to embrace who I truly am. I have joined this community to gain friends who are on a similar path and to learn more. I look forward to talking with everyone and learning all I can.
