To walk our path exacts a price, one that is too high for many. But the fruits we shall harvest are sweet, sweet as any from other faiths. Paganism is real, very real to those of us who follow it and should be real to the rest of humanity. We have been sowing the seeds of our Pagan faith for nearly 50 years, earlier if you have a lineage of magic in your family. Our time is nigh and the future is ours.
Dedication is the key to the great door to our future.
We may have great dedication to our faith, but most of us are new to this path, relatively speaking. Christians, Muslims and Jewish folks have hundreds, if not thousands, of years to draw upon. It can be said that a religion needs a good foundation if it is to survive into the future. Christianity has been fortunate in that some of the great leaders from history converted while they were in power and passed this faith onto their heirs. They used their power to change public attitudes about the Church.
