Coming out into the world
By:
Post # 1
Hey everyone my name is Bryanna, I am finally getting out there and coming out of the broom closet. I began a youtube channel called Aneira Withadream. I am very skilled in my wiccan practices, and I help a lot of people here on som whenever they ask me. It would be an honor if you checked out my vids for those who are needing to learn wicca. So please if you go to my som page my youtube link is there. Check me out thanks! BTW if you have any questions, comments, or requests then message me on here or on my email. Thanks :)

I watched your video where you discussed (or rather read from a book) what the various Sabbats were. One suggestion would be that you learn how to pronounce the names of the Sabbats correctly. You might also want to make mention, if you were aware of it, that the Wheel of the Year in the Southern Hemisphere is reversed. ie: in Australia Yule falls between June 21st and June 23rd depending on when exactly the Solstice occurs.

It's great that you're willing to help those who are just learning about Wicca. But if you set yourself up as a teacher it's also very, very important that you be able to teach the material correctly. Might I ask what books you're using for the information you want to share? I might have some suggestions for you on better resources.

Glad to hear that you are "coming out of the broom closet".
But, you know, Wicca has been recognised as a religion for quite some time now!
However, be careful to whom you reveal your beliefs. There are still people who think we are devil worshippers!

Well there's part of your problem. Neither Silver Ravenwolf nor Kate West are considered reliable authors on the topic of Wicca. Silver Ravenwolf's books are simply full of bad information. Are those the only books you've read in 7 years of practice?

Some authors that you will find much more accurate and that I would suggest include the following:

Gerald Gardner

Debra Lipp

Ellen Cannon Reed

Vivienne Crowley

Janet and Stewart Farrar

Thea Sabin

Timothy Roderick

Doreen Valiente

You might want to read a good number of books by these authors to improve your knowledge of Wicca before you begin offering to teach. After all, you wouldn't want to continue spreading misinformation to others.
