Finding the Path

I am 23 years old and the founder of Finding the Path. I am just finding my path and have been doing a lot of research and studying.   I am finding that there are others who believe as I do and that I am not as strange as I   thought. I am practicing as a solitary on the ecclectic path.
One of the main reasons I am looking into Witchcraft (and finding what I need), is that I am empathic. I also use this in a calming, relaxing, healing fashion with others, soothing them, removing or lessening pain,   etc. I feel the energy and emotions that those around me feel. It can be frustrating at times, as I have little control, though I am working on it. Though I can sometimes concentrate or meditate enough to "tune in" to the people around me and to myself. It is just stronger sometimes than others. I can sometimes use this same process to see people or events that will effect them in the future. I also sometimes pick up vibrations, like power I guess, from objects.
I am still a novice, but I hope to learn all I can. I also   want to help others who are in the same position, because I know sometimes you   just need to talk to someone who would understand.
Concentrations: empathy, healing, candle magick, clairvoyance

I am a 41 year old female eclectic Solitary. I have been practicing and studying for the past 3 years. I only recently chose my Craft name as I didn't feel I was spiritually ready for one. I didn't really choose to study the Craft, it chose me. I have always been very nature oriented, but while in a bookstore one day, I ran across a book called "Green WitchCraft". I read alittle of it and feelings just flooded over me and I felt as though I were being called. I am very selective in the books I choose to read and make sure the authors are reputable and speak from experience not just information passed through the grapevine.
I worship the Goddess/God in general as I have not been called by any one aspect of them yet. I have an affinity for candles, which is one on my hobbies to make and thus have a preference for candle magick. I am still very much a novice and have much to learn and always enjoy hearing from others about their experiences. I have always been a Solitary, but would very much be able to one day be apart of a coven. This would for me be an ultimate learning experience. My goal is to be able to share my knowledge with others who are interested and try to stop the prejudice and ignorance so many have towards this glorious religion.
