My thought was not to actually write the paper here. LOL. Sorry about that. But I kinda saw the contents as bascially confusing Lauren. My image of the girl is that of a 'normal average girl' and not what Lauren thinks of as a 'witch type' (her mind thinking of some goth kid). The depths of the paper describing the wiccaning process make Lauren wonder if the girl is writing fact or fiction because she herself has nothing to compare it to. She seeks advice from the others (as she has done in the past). References in the paper to knives (athame) and nudity have her question also the safety of a minor child in this atmosphere. Again, all is based on lack of information on Lauren and most of the other teachers.

Lack of knowledge begs clarification. Again, like I said, it's just an idea that I thought I'd poke out with. It's not like I'm a script writer and I've written the whole thing out.

Lucky them. Those pagans that I have known travel in small circles. I do know a pagan mom with a set of twins she has raised as pagans. But the kids don't share the info about their faith to those outside the circle and a few close family friends.

Again, it was just an idea.
