Yes, I am a pagan. It's a pretty tricky choice of faith, even in a city as open minded as New York. I haven't always lived here. I brought my faith with me from the deep, delicious and slow south. I have pushed it, pulled it, and adapted it to make it work in a place where you cannot see the stars, only rarely can see the moon, and feel it is a very lucky day if you feel earth rather than pavement beneath your feet.
I was inspired to write this blog because, well, sometimes I like to hear myself talk. More than that it was inspired by the fact that I have very few with whom I can share my faith. There are some good websites and great blogs about paganism in New York already (I'll get around to posting links eventually. They are my lifeline.) but none could I find that dealt with the simple nitty-gritty of being a solitary practitioner of magick in New York City. There have to be others like me out there in this city bursting with 8 and a half million people, and maybe they were searching for my thoughts just like I was searching for theirs.

A glimpse into the life of a modern day Pagan in the heart of New York City
About Me
- Ms. R.Y.S.
- I'm a mother of two trying to keep the faith in a city where you can never see stars, rarely see the Moon, and feel blessed on the days you can feel grass under your feet rather than pavement. Welcome.

The F.A.Q.
1. What is a Pagan? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paganism Personally, I think of Paganism as any nature-based, non-Abrahamic faith the definitions are as varied as the stars. We are usually polytheistic, almost always environmentally concerned, and often concerned with the goddess.
2. Are you a Wiccan? No, I am not though I have deep respect for the religion. Nor am I a Neo-Druid. I am part of no formal or informal group or organization.
3. So, what are you? I'm what some would call a Kitchen Witch and others might call a Hearth Witch. I believe in the power to effect positive change in my environment through the focus and direction of energy. I believe in the benelovence of the Universe. I believe in the healing power of herbs, stones, and water. I practice alone.
