Wow, I hope this isn't off-topic. I just found myself cornered into "coming out of the broom closet" at work--to my boss. She isn't treating me any differently, but I feel all squirmy inside for some reason (maybe because I don't think religion at work is anybody's business?).

Annie, sure hope you are feeling better soon, sinus infections are no fun.
Alyce, that is disconcerting!!! hopefully your boss is not one of those narrow minded folks and will continue to treat you the same( I agree it's no ones business). keep us posted on how things are going.

Annie,
I love that your Mormon grandmother held onto her Native American roots. I have bounced all over the place picking up pieces of religions here and there. I love that many holidays resulted from the original Pagan quarters and cross quarters.
By the way, Blessed Imbolc!

Alyce, I agree with you that your religion isn't anybody's business (at work or anywhere else). Maybe you're feeling so squirmy because it seems you felt cornered and didn't share the info because you really wanted to but felt you had to.

Alyce, I'm with the others in that your beliefs aren't anyone else's business. Hopefully this will pass and things will get back to normal.
Kim, I'm with you too regarding the fact that so many "celebrations" are Pagan in origin. Most people don't even know that. Funny how that all works out. |

And yes, it really isn't anyone's business especially at work. It's not affecting how you work. We have many Pagans at my place of employment.

| Kim, I'm always up for learning new ideas. Are you studying this now? Would be interested in what you have learned and what books you have read on the subject. |

Annie S~ No I haven't. I read up on stuff here and there on the internet. Sometimes, I'll buy Scotland Magazine if there are interesting articles. I have been enamored with Fae and such. Druid rings ( I saw a bunch of them in England without even getting to Stonehenge). I am interested in learning more Celtic and Appalachia Folklore, as well.

So far so good...I suppose it helps that she considers me pretty much indispensable. (That, and she has recently had complaints filed against her; she probably doesn't want to risk me suing her for discrimination.)

After thinking about it, Rachel, I realized that was exactly the problem. I felt pushed, honestly.

Thanks. So far, so good!
We live in a far more pagan-oriented culture than many people realize--or want to realize. Great, isn't it?

I envy you! Some years ago before I met the Mister, I worked at a Jockey outlet store to make a few extra bucks (I was pretty low-ranking at the library at that point). Almost half of the staff was some form of Pagan.

I also know of a few that mix Christianity with some sort of Paganism. My daughter is also Pagan.
It's a shame that happened at work. My old boss always talked about the Solstices and various things. Maybe your boss is sticking her toe in the water with you because is some sort of Pagan/Witch herself?
