Hi Abbara...
I can relate to this as I live in the Bible Belt of East Texas...There is still a lot of stigma against those whom are Spiritual but not Religious who look for answers beyond the Bible...Those who are Pagans (and other non-mainstream beliefs) in this area tend to keep their beliefs on the "down low" or only talk about it amongst like minded/souled individuals...but there are more and more people becoming more outspoken with their non-traditional beliefs around here, which is most refreshing...I can only imagine what it must have been like when you were a young girl, when such individuals were *really* kept on a leash (so to speak)...
