New to the Outer Court
Merry Meet all,
My name is David and I am new to the group. Thought I would pop in to say high and give a little information on myself lol.
So a little about me...I have been a follower and practitioner of Wicca for the past 15 years and have been in love with it from the start. I currently live in McMinnville,TN with my wife of 18 years and my 17 year old son. I have been a member of WSI for a couple years but just started to pick up
on my lessons again after going through a dark period in my life. That dark period has ended thankfully and I am know back in full swing with things. After picking back up on my course work with WSI I realized that the structure and training that I was looking for was right under my
nose all the time. It was the lack of structure and training that I was missing, especially being a solitaire practitioner. Now that I have a mentor and a group of great WS members I feel I can achieve my ultimate goal of complete the First, Second and Third degree courses and from
there work my way to become part of the Clergy. I have always been they type of person who enjoys helping others and I feel that this is a calling the Goddess and put in me. Now being part of the Outer court just helps reinforce that I am doing what what the Goddess has called me to do.
I have also just recently started the Tarot 101, Mental Mediums training, and cyber-ministries courses as it is my hopes that once I complete my trainings I will be able to reach out to others who want to learn and also hope to one day have a local temple in my area. I look forward to meeting everyone and getting to know you better and hope that I can contribute to the group as much as possible.
Great to be here and Blessed Be everyone,
David

Merry Meet David, I too find that the Correllian system is Interesting and structured well, I was a Solitary Eclectic and enjoyed that But Wanted to be part of a Tradition.
The Other Traditions did not exactly feel right to me, I enjoyed the Correllian focus on Energy/light Manipulation as well as other aspects of their practice.
It just seemed to make sense and I as well enjoy that this Tradition believes in establishing a sense of Pagan Community. Blessed Be -

Exactly Sparrow. I think being part of a tradition is the best way to learn. Starting off as a solitaire is great but imo there comes a time when you need "more." I checked out some other traditions but there seemed to be to much fighting among the members so I went the other way. I tried a couple ceremonial orders which was great, but my mind couldn't handle it lol.Especially the Enochian Order I was in.
The community here is wonderful, speaking of which, I have read some of your posts and replies...really enjoyed them. Love your insight on things.

I am in the 1st degree class but I have passed about 12 other classes.(I think)
I personally think Rev. Don is a great speaker for this tradition, If he did nothing else he would have been a good Teacher.
I do have some "Backed up" test taking to do but we will get there.
I came to the "Old Religion" through Astral Projection and talking to spirits , I was looking for control as I knew My Grandma was driven crazy by her Metaphysical experiences.
It is Funny that the more I explore Witchcraft the more Quiet and Normal and sane I become. -

I agree, Rev. Don is a great speaker. I love watching his video's because he explains things in and easy understandable way. He would have made a great teacher as you said.
I just finished my first test on Tarot 101 today so have to wait for the next now. Still have a day or two before I can do the tests for the 5 Mystic Secrets, Magical names, cyber ministry and also my first test in the Mental Mediums group. Not to mention I just joined the Reiki Class last night lol. Think my brains going to explode!
When it comes to Wicca, I came to it after a spiritual search when the Christian path I was on was not answering my questions. When I did ask questions I was always told to never question God or ask why. That just didn't cut it for me lol. Like you, the more I explore Wicca and its teachings I find I become more peaceful, relaxed and secure in my path. Can't wait to see what lies down the road as the journey continues. -

I agree I feel much more peaceful and less afraid of "The Other Side" The deeper I get involved .
And as I feel more peaceful it feels strange to explain this to My Mother who is Southern Baptist, She sort of ignores that I am interested in Metaphysical things.
Their is alot of fear in my parents Philosophy religiously and Politically.
I refuse to take on a fear based philosophy it is just not a good way to live.
To me the Goddess is that original thought or feeling you had of God when you were a little kid out in the woods, that original closeness to God before everyone told you what the strict rules were.
Whenever I return to Meditative practice , like a candle and Thank Goddess I always feel better. -
