Am I Pagan?

No, I’m not questioning my own belief – this is a question I get asked time and time and time again.

“Am I Pagan?” “I love nature, and I believe in a God and Goddess, but am I pagan?”

Here is my universal answer for all of those who ask me this question, because I get sooo many emails about it:

Only you can answer that question.
There are numerous things on this website and multitudes of other sites that confirm what basic Pagan beliefs, morals and ethics are.
If you believe that these things ring true to you, then you make the decision as to whether you identify as Pagan/Wiccan/whatever belief.

It’s not up to other people to label you as ‘such-and-such’ – IT’S YOUR CHOICE!

If any one else emails me asking me this question, I may just need to refer them to something, and I’m thinking that something is this post!!!

“The Time Has Come,” the Geek Witch said…

… to talk of many things.

I think the first thing is something the majority of you already expected, and that is, at least for the foreseeable future, the Geek Witch Podcast will not continue. I physically and emotionally do not have the time or energy to sit down and record episodes. Some people can do it, but I’m not one of them.

The website will remain, and the Podcast’s archive will stay up, but no more episodes will be created. I wish to continue to grow the website and make it a real resource for Pagans everywhere, but to do that (as well as all the other things I’m doing, which I’ll talk about in a second) as well as record a show takes a lot of time that I just don’t have.

I continue to work 38-hour weeks, as well as make time for my family. My hobby/business of creating websites for businesses and organisations is growing. I run my own personal blog, this site, my business website, along with about six other sites for clients. I am the webguru for the Tasmanian Pagan Alliance website, the Graphic Designer of their newsletter and, more recently, the Treasurer of the organisation. And I have a new house to renovate!

So whilst I love this site and the podcast – and don’t get me wrong, I really love doing it! – it’s not supporting my day-to-day life, and I cannot continue to place it high on my list of priorities. Not to mention the low amount of traffic this site has been receiving of late – my last Google Analytics report on Tuesday showed one visit for the whole week.

I want to thank everyone for their continued support over the last 2 + years for supporting the Podcast – it’s been a lot of fun and I’ve got to know some wonderful people thought the doors this has opened. But it’s time to close this chapter of my life, and I hope you continue to support the website, and feel free to contact me as you feel you need to – I am still catching up on many, many emails (again, a time issue), but I will respond to every email I get.

Thank you and Goddess bless,

Tahlea xx

Geek Witch on Facebook

Hi everyone,

Well just a quick update to say that the Geek Witch podcasts’ presence on Facebook has moved from a Group to a Page. A Page will allow us a little more versatility and allow me to get more of an idea how often the Facebook Page is being used, where a Group doesn’t allow me to do that.

So if you’re currently a member of the Group, please remove yourself from the Group, and join the Page.

Click here for the new Facebook PAGE.

Thanks!

Blessings,
Tahlea

Devastated.

My laptop is broken.

I’m posting from my iPhone right now. I do have a desktop computer but most of my stuff is done on my laptop. The screen is busted up bad – hubby accidentally stood on the lid, and now the screen is a mass of cracks and big black spots.

This is going to cost me *a lot* to get replaced, so bare with me.

I couldn’t be more pissed off right now. At a time where I need to be saving money, more and more expenses arise.
