Pagan Blog Prompt: Connecting

How do you connect with other Pagans?

Do you have a local group you can meet with on a regular basis?

If you can't connect with local people, where online do you connect with people of like mind?

What's the hardest part about connecting with other Pagans?

Funny coincidence, today I am going to meet my best friend and fellow witch for a busy weekend of kitchen-hauling and witchy girl talk. We have known each other for about 15 years and have been in this witchy thing together all the time. (I think she picked it up from me, but it might be just the other way round, who knows?) I also plan to spend more time with my sister in the near future, since she is moving back closer to my place ("only" 200km instead of 500). I am lucky to have very trusted witches so close to me, and I hope we can go back to learning together and learning from each other.

I do not know many Pagans in analogue life - I met a few, but Pagan flavors vary so greatly that being Pagan, or even being witches, does not necessarily mean you will get along well. I've talked before about my experience with a local group, and although there are signs of witching in the woods behind our flat, I have not made up my mind yet whether to try and contact them or not. It might be fun, or it might make things more awkward. Okay, I am not someone who gets along with people easily, that is sure. ^^

Online, I like to connect through blogs, and I have got one trusted forum I have been frequenting for many years with a great variety of Pagans and witches who never fail to make me feel welcome and respected, even if our views on certain topics differ every now and again (or most of the time).
