How would you describe yourself? A Wiccan priest, empath, & astrologer

Does the path you've chosen affect your profession? Not really, but empathic abilities are useful in selling

Is community important to you, or do you prefer to express you beliefs as a solitary? Community is important to me.

Are you associated with any organizations, volunteer work, or groups that support your spiritual beliefs? Yes, local Pagan meetups, open circles, and local astrology groups,National Council for Geocosmic Research & the International Society for Astrological Research

Would you say your path has been an easy or difficult journey? Easy, because I live in a place that is very open and accepting of esoteric ideas

Any advice for someone new to this path? Get in touch with your roots and find a patron God & matron Goddess. Move to a place that is open to allowing Pagans to live openly. Read, read, read. Never stop learning.

Have no fear and follow your path wherever it leads you...
