Gee, I know there's a lot of information about paganism and wicca
and earth religions out there, so I don't want to rediscover fire here,
so I'm going to put a very few basics down - mostly about the elements,
maybe some divination tools, rituals, etc.
And this page will grow, I'm sure, so please come back to see
what's been added!
Sign my book!
Bright blessings, and treat each other kindly, please.
