corinedavini46@hotmail.com Living in the Bible Belt phoenixdragonheart corinedavini46@hotmail.com Fri Jun 27 12:53:19 2003 i live in Elgin Il. There was a solstice event here, but I can't drive, and no one, not even a friend, would give me a ride, or check it out. A friend, but a born-again Christian. *p*Even the only occult book store in town, with everything, but books on Wicca, is run by a woman who considers herself to be Christian. She has someone who comes into the shop and does sessions on Akashic records. She does tarot readings herself. She has books on the Goddess.*p*So, imagine my surprise when I asked her where I could find anyone in the pagan community. She told me that she didn't hold with that and those people know how she felt and stayed out of her store because they knew better. Actually she told me more than that, but you get the idea.*p*So, I guess the rest of the pagan community is as far underground as I am.*p*My landlord and landlady are also born-agains, so I hide everything.*p*Has anyone got any ideas on how I can find pagans here in Elgin?*p**p* 216.125.160.51
