I used to be a..well, a regular lurker- most certainly- on Wicca Forums; and I loved the crazy chaotic hotbed of activity: questions, old threads, resources, discussions, recipes; you name it. It was also a place where I somehow- and I don't know exactly what it was; felt I could trust the veterans with questions. The answers felt...academic to me, which is my go-to benchmark for an answer/response's authenticity.
I was also in high school/college during that period, so there weren't too many significant "real world" dramas to distract me from being on WF. And then, college got a bit hectic so I took a break. And then I came back and WF wasn't there anymore.
Over the years, I've sporadically looked through the interwebs trying to figure out if WF regulars had regrouped somewhere else- but I never did find anything. And then a few days back, I went through another searching spree for old WF folks (It ain't stalking if I don't know you on FB, haha); and I somehow ended up on religioustolerance.org that linked to this forum. I liked the place enough to register and posted; and I included old WF names to see if any were here.
And then I looked at the Pagan Journey team and went waaaait a minute
Dear God, I must sound so creepy, don't I? But the truth is, I've never found a forum like WF ever again.
