i'm MA, i tend to identify as a Druid b/c ppl glaze over when i say "celtic paganism focusing on nature magic". I'm glad we have a group.

merry meet.

Hi! I'm Jenn, solitary eclectic Pagan for the last 13 years. Fitness goal is to lose around 100lbs in time for my wedding next October. There's not an overly large or welcoming Pagan community in my city so I'm glad I'm solitary. I'm trying to get ready to run my first half marathon in May 2012 and then Gods willing, a full marathon in 2013 (depends on if i'm expecting)

glad to meet all of you!

I just ran my 1st half marathon in October, and am going to be training for another one next May - good luck!

I'm Angie, and I'm also a solitary eclectic pagan (for about six years), following general Wiccan traditions. I began a vegetarian diet about five months ago, and I've been on MFP about seven months now. I've lost almost 30 pounds this year, and I've finally settled into a diet and exercise pattern that I'm really happy with. I kayak a lot from March through October, but I'm mostly done for this season. My workouts are usually Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and Couch to 5K running. I ran my first race, the Zombie Buffet 5K, in Nashville on October 29 this year, and I intend to keep running and signing up for 5K's here and there for motivation. Happy to see this group!

Hello! My name's Heather, grew up Pagan, Gardenerian/Cabot (For those of you who are familiar with Laurie Cabot in Salem, MA, I was taught by two of her former students).

I celebrate all Pagan holidays................including Christmas!!!!

I'm Jessi, I grew up in a odd mix of paganism and catholicism. Both parents were lapsed catholics with a belief in just about everything.
I live with my husband and our three cats, no human children yet.
I'm nearing the end of my weight loss, but then I'll still be getting fitter, I want to be 110 to 115 and see how I feel.
I have a lot of christian friends, but I am SO glad this group is here, there seem to be SO many bible thumpers on here, lol. Not that there's a problem with that but I don't need to thank God I worked hard, lol.

Hi there! I'm Katherine. For all intents and purposes, "agnostic pagan" fits me best. I tend to vacillate sometimes on my feelings about deity, but I keep the Wheel of the Year and am probably close to what most consider a rootworker. I practice hoodoo. (:

I'm a nurse, a writer, and a wanna-be runner. I'll feel like I've earned the "runner" label once I can do a 5k, I think. I'm doing couch to 5k right now. I have a bone disease so running is a huge thing for me. Nice to see other pagans on here. I'll do my best to add to the recipes.

Hi Zombi, By rootworker, do you mean you are into herbalism? Do you work with the Ifa?

Hi everyone! I'm Amanda, I'm 19 and I've been an eclectic pagan for almost 2 years now. I've eager to learn anything and everything. And I'd love tips on how to integrate my spirituality and my mfp into my daily life

Hi Zombi, By rootworker, do you mean you are into herbalism? Do you work with the Ifa?

Hi,
No, when I say "rootwork" I am referring to hoodoo, also known as conjure, which is a form of predominantly African-American traditional folk magic that developed from the syncretism of a number of separate cultures and magical traditions. It is basically indigenous to my native American South. The following link may explain more of what hoodoo is:

Hope this helps. (:

Hi! I am an eclectic pagan focusing on Wicca. I was raised strict Catholic and never got much out of it. I have been reading, experimenting, and practicing Wicca for the past few months and I feel so much more at peace.

I am a married mom of 2 who never really lost any weight after giving birth. I live in rural WI with a dog and a gaggle of cats. Recently I have also become a vegetarian.

It's nice to find others who are similar minded because I don't have any pagan friends IRL.

Hello I am Jasmine, I have been pagan for 16ish years and an initiate of the Gardnerian Tradition since 2001. I am just beginning my weight loss journey, I have lost 15 pounds the last 2 months. I have started learning belly dance and started eating the lifestyle of the Mediterranean diet. Glad to be here with you all.

Hello everyone! I'm Sarah. I've been pagan for over 15 years now and am currently Asatru. As a stay-at-home mom, I've never really been able to lose any of the weight I gained during pregnancy, so I'm hoping to drop 30-35 lbs. Maybe more, depending on how I look once I hit my goal.

Hi everyone, I'm Kassi. I'm a solitary Wiccan (who doesn't practice as much as she would like!) and recently moved to California from South Dakota. I'm also a vegetarian (I firmly believe that if I can't kill/butcher it, then I shouldn't eat it) and have been for about two years now. I live with my boyfriend, dog, and two cats in the Bay area and haven't seen snow for almost a year. It's been wonderful! Along with the healthier lifestyle, Californians in general seem more open and accepting of different spiritual beliefs. I only wish we would have moved out here sooner!

Hi everyone, my name is Jennifer, I'm 33 years old (duh, my profile says that heeheee) ;D. I just joined this group today, but have been an MFP member since April 2011. I joined the military soon after graduating high school (I must admit I was in the best shape of my life). It all kinda went downhill after I got out lol. I recently finished my B.A. in Theater Arts with a minor in business. I'm out in the job market and as a matter of fact, I'll be spending the first week of 2012 in airports and job interviews. I'm hoping this will be a good year for me. I'm a first degree Wiccan (though I haven't been practicing in a long time). It doesn't help when I have to stay in the closet for now especially since the majority of my family is heavily Christian. It's nice to meet everyone and feel free to add me
