Wiccan Mentor and Dreams of Africa
I was asked by a client today if I studied Wicca. And tho I don’t necessarily study “Wicca” per se, and don’t consider myself Wiccan, I told her yes because what else am I going to say? “No, I just consider myself pagan, not Wiccan, you see there’s a difference yadda yadda.” It’s just unecessary. Apparently she wants me to talk with her 18 year old daughter who has been reading up on it for about a year now, and act as sort of a guide? Mentor? I’m not sure which. The woman even said she was interested in it and has been wanting to find out more information.
Now I’m a little torn. The technician warned me that her daughter and herself are kinda……not necessarily slow, but somewhat odd. And I’m not sure if I want to get involved with all of that. Maybe a few phone calls but I don’t want to act as an actual teacher or feel like I have specific obligations. And I wouldn’t want to put time into something that most likely wouldn’t evolve into anything anyway.
Not to mention my sister is getting older, and now that I have weekends off I really want to put most of my energy into teaching her and preparing her.
I’ve been watching a lot of movies based in Africa lately, most include different tribes and cultures throughout Africa. And it really gets me thinking about how much I would enjoy a job where I was to study these different tribes and cultures. To be out there in the raw open land where the bare roots of survival are. I just love everything about it. I know Ex #4 doesn’t share my same views, not even close. And I’m pretty sure this will remain just some fantasy, but at least I can imagine, I guess.
I’d write more, but I’m at work, time is limited.

If you want to do something in your life…don’t let anything hold you back. It is never too late to do anything that you feel passionately about. =)

I agree wholeheartedly with Candice…follow your dreams, wherever they may take you.
Also with the mother who was asking about Wicca, I’d just offer her some resources…local if you have them, and that’s the end of it. Don’t feel obligated to be a ‘teacher’.

Pagan and Wiccan?
Is there a difference?!

Think of it as calling yourself……Christian, or Baptist. Paganism is more of a general term for most people for earth religions. Wiccan is a particular path or tradition. And I’m not Wiccan, though a lot of my beliefs are the same.
