As pagans in general and as Witches in particular, its not enough to hang a pentacle around our necks and to run to the local bookstore and buy the latest fad book on witchcraft. We have been given a great deal of power by the deities. We are one of the most gifted peoples in the world.
We walk a path that is constantly filled with wonders.
We have the ability to affect our lives and the lives of those around us.
Along with all of these gifts and wonders, comes responsibility.
To truly be able to call oneself "pagan", we must be true to ourselves, to our deity, true to Mother Nature, and true to those whom we walk amongst.
Don't just read these "goals", nod your head, and move on.
Make an serious effort to incorporate them into your every day life.
With all that we have been given, the least that we can return is a sense of responsibility and understanding as we walk this path!
