Advice Column featuring Sage

Dear Sage,

Like most people these days, I’ve been thru quite a bit in my life. I am 30 yrs old and have recently discovered my pagan path. However, I’ve also come from a very sheltered background and a small minded town on top of it. I have no clue as to how to structure my way in my new found beliefs. Trying to study from the Internet is very overwhelming. Do you have any advice for a basic beginning and where to go from there?

Merry Meet Solitary Beginner,

Coming from a small town, resources can be limited and as I am sure you found when doing a search, the pages seemed endless.

First, I would advise you to check the many pagan Yahoo and MSN groups. There are several out there for Beginners and remember to keep an open mind when joining. You probably are not going to like every one of them you join and you are able to leave them without obligation once you have come to this realization.

Also, I would like to recommend applying to the following school, The Pagan Campus, I have included the URL http://www.thepagancampus.net/. It is one of the few established schools that offers a well rounded curriculum on Pagan subjects while only asking for donations. The school is taught by a number of extremely knowledgeable instructors from all paths and talents. The teachers all conduct their courses with small student base and do communicate with their students through email on a one-to-one basis helping guiding you while attending their class. I myself send many of my students there after their teachings with me to further their knowledge on different subjects.

On a side note, I wanted to mention to you that before you went out to purchase your altar or magic tools, that the price and fanciness of an item need not come into play. A lot of the times, your tools will select you or the ones you make yourself using your own energy will work the best. Your tools can be found at a flea market, second hand shop, just as well as a shop on line or a metaphysical store. Remember to always go with what feels right to you, don’t buy the item because you just want it. (Well of course you can buy it because you want it LOL) but for using the item as an altar tool or for magic be sure it connects with you. You will feel an energy pulling you both together.

If you need any help or have any questions please do not hesitate to email me. I would be happy to help you in any way that I can.

Sage, HPS to the Goddess
