Thank you Lady Dove for inviting me to this forum. You are the best friend and companion I could ever hope to know.

Once upon a time, the worst social punishment someone could receive was bannishment. It was literally a death sentence. The opposite posture is to become an integral part of the society, to contribute and to receive the benefits of a beneficial division of labor. Such a grouping might be a tribe or a coven. I value being a member of such a grouping.

I hope to contact friends here that I can share with in this sense. I want to become close to those that think as I do. I trust that I place myself in the right place to accomplish this. I welcome anyone that feels the same.
