Let's define "pagan", as it may very well vary, depending on who is writing about the category"pagan", the time frame when they fit it, beliefs, superstitions, religious beliefs, etc. I guess some would refer to "Druids" and "Wiccans" as "pagans. I however do not. Not that's a point of conflict, just to let you know a difference in perception. I make it a practice to not advertise too much, unless it's to friends I know, that I practice any of the crafts, or what I do with them. If one advertises too much, it can make them a target by others that find their simple existance a bother. I will say, I do not belong to a "coven" but practice alone as a "solitary". Are there oothers on the site that followas you do, no idea. I have my own opinion, based on just reading what is written, but as you have found, how much is reality, how much is BS, well that's a question every reader has to decide for themselves.
