September 30th, 2010 (596 Days Ago)
Having seen some people leave this site because it is not offering them what they came here to find, I would like to take a moment and explain why I stay.
.
When Covenspace died unceremoniously, I was devastated, had no base pagan site to connect with my friends, and I HATED seeing it go!
.
Then, one day, there was Witchbook.net, a completely new site available to all of us who missed CS and some people who had never HEARD of CS!
.
While some people discount the usefullness of "a pagan myspace", I say bring on the pagans!!! I want to know what is going on in my pagan friends' lives, I DO want witchy substance as well, and have no trouble finding it or inputting it myself, and I am VERY curious to see what Witchbook.net will become when we have as many members as CS had......that's going to take a few years, I imagine. While I wait, I love logging in here every morning and starting my day with WB. It's my home page, and these are the people I care about, this is the site where my heart is engaged.....who would have given up following WildThing's growth and eventual escape???? Not I. Worrying about her and hearing about her day meant a LOT to me, and I felt liberated myself when she finally escaped her horrible situation.....witchy stuff??? Maybe not, but moving and important to me. I STILL want to know how she is, and how all of you are, whether I am blogging daily or lurking and soaking up everything you all write.
.
Be well, be happy, be as witchy as you can imagine.....and then, let me know how you are!!! Thanks for listening yet again, talk to me People!

If I'm in need of Witchy knowledge, I look it up or ask. Having the personal side of WB is awesome. I also like the blogging.1 point

I`m a Witch and this is where I blog, I`ve met some amazing people here, caught up with Witches from CS, I think it`s neat. Magickal people have magickal lives, but we`re all still "human".2 points -
Vigdisdotter wrote 596 Days Ago (neutral) 0The thing about "shop talk" is that it will happen when people MAKE it happen. If people are leaving because there isn't enough pagan/witchy discussions, maybe they need to ask themselves why THEY haven't started any. My own blog tends to be witchy focused, but I'm finding that there is a lot of cross over between my mundane life and the pagan/spiritual.2 points -
Scyn wrote 596 Days Ago (positive) 1Like you, I really felt the rug was pulled out from under me when CS went down. And like Nightrain said, I'm quite introverted, so sites like these really help me come out of my shell. The social factor is something I crave. Interaction. I am thrilled to be able to help out with WB, to my very toes. I also value information and learning from others too. Sometimes I get turned off by "You're doing it wrong" kinds of things, as even if you're part of a group, there is still a huge element that is subjective and intensely personal. On one hand, I'd hate to see people let others shape what they have no business shaping, but on the other hand, it is wise to continue your learning as long as you're going and that comes from others sometimes. Even sometimes when you don't like it. But 3 months or so after CS went down, I found WB thru the CS myspace. I was so happy!! And the rest is history. This is my main source of internet business, personal and pagan. May it continue to grow and flourish.1 point
