Greetings all... I live in the beautiful foothills of the Appalachians in Southwestern Ohio with my wonderful partner Rick (aka Dr. Strange/dreamwalker) . We met on this server and have been together for almost 7 years now...be careful folks this room has earned the reputation for bringing folks together .
Now to address a couple of topics concerning myself that perplex some folks at first when I tell them about my belief system. I practice Hellenisimos and lean towards the teachings and mindset of Traditional Witchcraft even though I may never find a teacher (they are becoming few and far between).
When I say that I practice Hellenismos I am referring to that I am a polytheist and worship the ancient Greek Gods, nature divinities, underworld deities and heroes. I also honor my physical and spiritual ancestors and I try to incorporate the Greek virtues into my everyday life (not quite sure if I'll ever get moderation mastered though).
Here are some websites that explain it more in depth and hopefully this will explain it better than I can in one basic paragraph.

So now to address the question of what is Traditional Witchcraft? Traditional Witchcraft is a religion that has it's grounds in the spiritual traditions of native peoples of Europe. You are going to be fairly hard pressed to find any good information about this online.
I'm interested in herb lore, ancient history, and mythology. I think that this forum and the chatroom are great places to discuss topics along this line and many more as well as make some really great friends. I sincerely hope that you enjoy it as much as I do.
