Dealing with people telling you you're not "true Wicca"

Been interesting reading this thread.

Just to add my very little two penneth worth.

When I first came on this forum I asked a question, that question was "What am I ?".

I knew what I felt I was within myself, and had felt this for many many years. But always kept it locked deep inside for fear of people thinking I was ' Mad '.

I plucked up a lot of courage and trust me it took a lot of courage to ask did anyone think I was a 'Witch '.

What I had always thought I was, was what I had confirmed..perfectly.

I didn't know if I was doing things right when ever I did anything to do with ' Casting '. I don't read books about how to do so, I literally do what feels natural to do.

I'm not a member of any Coven, I don't feel the need to be. I don't have an Alter in my house. I have a special place a few miles from home, in beautiful natural surroundings that is my Alter.

Even if I'd of had no replies to my question, or had this forum been one like you've been on. Deep inside I'd of always known what I am..a ' Wise Person '

What ever you feel you are within, is what you are.....

Blessings.
