I am a wiccan myself and I just started to practice it but I need help more to understand. My mother and past generations on her side besides my granmother and great-grandmother were wiccan, so it’s only right that I follow in their footsteps. My my mother’s side of the family’s all native american so I was very interested in learning more about the goddess. So I was just wondering if you could help me learn and acknowlage what my ancestors knew back then. Is it possible?
Merry Meet! It’s wonderful to hear that you are a practicing Wiccan and that you come from a long lineage of Wicca practitioners. You are very fortunate indeed to have your grand-mother as well as your great-grandmother and your mother around you. You can certainly learn a lot from your relatives who are Wicca practitioners. You may also ask your relatives if they had any books or tools that they can talk to you about or allow you to use. Talking to them and gently prodding to know more will certainly help you a long way. Another way you can learn about the Goddess or more about Native American Witchcraft is to get the books that are written by people who are interested in this subject and took the time and care fo research about it. Since they have already done the work, it will be quite easy for you to learn from their writings.
