Pagan Homework II

This is part two of the work sheet from before. It is just for you to keep track for yourself and to keep in your book of shadows if you choose to have one now.

Privacy: When to talk, when to preserve secrecy.

Why should you sometimes keep your magic intention to yourself?

When should you tell someone about your practices?

How do these rules apply to a coven or group ritual atmosphere?

Do you plan to go public, or practice as a silent solitary?

Willingness and fearlessness: Leave your doubts at the door. Are you ready to walk a path less traveled, and less understood? If you are trying to change religions (Ex: to Wicca or another form of Paganism), are you prepared to give up whatever religion you may have been raised in?


What fears or trepidations do you have? These must be dealt with before you can go any further.
