Not sure how to ask this question... [View all]

so I'm sorry in advance if it's awkward. Does anyone here have any resource or online community suggestions for someone newly interested in wicca/paganism for solitary practice? Those are such umbrella terms that I'm not sure it's correct.

I'm old and have never engaged in any particular practice, but I've reached a point in my life that I'm pulled toward a very specific path: magical writing. That's what I'm calling it but don't know the proper term.

The reason I'm called toward this is because, in the past as a ghostwriter of two novels, I had the (at the time) disconcerting experience of having what I wrote manifest. It's the one creative activity where I lose myself and get into an almost meditative state. Oh, it just dawned on me that that is called automatic writing. I don't necessarily want to channel but rather have a practice over which I have more control - a more intentional practice, if that makes sense.

I do have several books on Celtic magic and recently even got the Rider-Waite tarot deck even though I have never been called to tarot before. So I'm wanting to develop a practice but would appreciate some guidance.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks!
