Heathens, Pagans and Witches discussion

I'd like to announce the opening of a brand new group, especially for authors of pagan material. It is a group for pagan authors in areas where they must remain hidden, where each of us stands alone - unless we stand together. This can include any place you find yourself. Let's solve some problems, air our linen and get better acquainted. We are a bit slow getting started, but as soon as you join, we'll be ready to read and roll!

If you are a pagan author, whether you live in an area where your work is commonly discouraged, or if you feel unappreciated (for any reason), or even if you have no such difficulties, come join us and find like-minded folk. We can all benefit from the experiences of our kindred.

Just bringing this thread to the attention of some of our newer members, who are also authors. Please check out the Pagan Authors (PAGE) group mentioned above.
