To find a group, finally, that I am comfortible with...high holy holidays are more fun. The esbats seem more important when shared.
At the beginning, a witch is alone. She finds her way, creates herself and the world around her until she is comfortable in it. Through the years she is fulfilled in her rituals, her ceremonies and life around her goes on. Then, a little at a time, she yearns. She looks to see if there are others such as herself. Do others believe the way she does or is she truely alone? She feels lonely, and with small steps, she begins to search for those who might have the same thoughts and beliefs as she.
At first what she finds is too diverse, too radical. Some Pagans, for which she has categorized herself, are too far reaching even for her small beliefs. Then there is a glimmer, one here, one there, who pick out a point that she sees, pick out a question that she can answer. And suddenly there is light. She doesn't have to be alone, she can be true to herself and believe what she believes, and others can believe what they wish. For the world she had been searching for, the belief values she had been yearning to find, the concept she must spread so others know that they, too, are not alone ...is TOLERANCE.
