Disclaimer: This page was created by Aurora as a personal service to the community. The opinions of this page are those of Aurora and not Sylvan Circle.
If you have come to this page, chances are you are seeking some sort of advice. I highly recommend before you take anyone's advice, you find out the person's credentials. What qualifies the person to advise? What experience or training does the advisor have?

This page was designed primarily with the intention of giving advice on Wicca. It is intended to be a place for advice on coven or personal Wiccan issues without giving up anonymity. It can be a place to get advice on internal or external coven problems, to check what is considered normal or okay against what is happening within your coven, to bounce ideas off someone with experience in Craft dynamics, or to receive assistance with personal growth. As a secondary goal, this page was designed to help with personal issues or short-term concerns the likes of which are worthy of any clergy member or Ann Landers.
I am not qualified to give professional psychological advice, though I can share the benefit of my experiences, and recommend some good books and things.
You can learn more about me by reading my bio.
If you need help finding a coven, I recommend the following methods:
- FIRST, read some cautions regarding finding covens. Then...
- Contact your local pagan shop or candle shop. Chances are they know of groups in your area.
