I, together with my three siblings, was raised in a very open minded household where Christianity was never the focus spirituality. We were always different and even though we didn't even know that it was called something specific, we knew we were not mainstream either. In 1995, maybe even before that, my mom brought home her first book on Paganism that she borrowed from someone at work who had imported it. It was by Scott Cunningham. In 1998 I taught my first two students. The course was a whopping 24pages and included lots of reading from Raymond Buckland's Big Blue Book. Over the years I have changed and evolved, but it is that small shy young boy with his 24pages, that grew to become the Arch-Priest of Notrenlim Phoenix Tradition
