Hmmmm. Community eh?

Well this is an interesting topic for me. Really in my experience the pagan community has a wide variety of broken units. Understandably so as they tend to be those who are not comfortably fitting into the nice boxes society provides for us. We are taught that we need no go between to communicate to the Gods and we can all be solitary practitioners. So what we have is a lot of special snowflakes and solitary practitioners. Creating a group of that is not an easy task nor is it frequent. For myself I find it useful to practice as the village wise woman. I keep to myself on the edge of the community, if i see things that need to be done I follow my partner's phrase, "someone needs to do something. Well I'm a someone." And I get to work. If someone needs me the Gods will bring them to me or me to them. I'm not out for my garter(s), just there should someone need something. The idea of purposely starting a group seems counter intuitive to me but likely I'll be doing that in the future as it is how my partner operates and as his partner I'll be in the thick of things.
