Suprisingly I didn't think anyone would reply, much less this soon! So pardon me while I gather my thoughts.

I'm sorely out of practice with the basics everyone has previously posted altho at one time it was routine. The Middle Pillar is still something I draw on routinely abet in a more abreviated form due to familiarity. As I don't have a library of resource books to fall back on reading this brought back fond memories and there was noting included that isn't good solid basics. So Kudo's to everyone!

I found the thread a treasure trove of information altho it sort of abruptly stopped. Having been practicing long ago with a small group lead by an independent Witch I was wondering if someone would go into the differences between Gardnerian and the other types [sects?] so the beginners had a frame of reference?

I ask because I was shocked to learn Pagans are different than Gardnerians, different from other groups and really at first didn't know the difference. Obviously I was fortunate in running into a lovely woman who had a traditional backround so could easily explain the differences in her rituals as opposed to more ''classic'' versions.

Other's might not be as lucky.
Thanks!

Can't believe this one is sinking again....
