It has also shown me that what i do and how i decide to decorate myself is completly okay. I've read it a few times and then lent it to a dear friend of mine. I find myself being the forerunner of this movement in my town. I was the first one to dress that way and ever since then all of my friends have followed suit, but out of their own free will. People come to me for help and advice and that fills me with glee and a feeling of purpose. I owe it all to you and your book. You helped me find my way and others with their path. I plan to purchase your next book and share that knowledge with my friends. I thank you with the greatest sincerity and gratitude. You helped me find myself.

Anyways, I've read your book goth craft a couple of times and it has helped me find out alot of things. Who i am, what i am, and that its okay to decorate myself the way i want and to hell with anyone that can't see me for me. I am the forerunner for alot of my friends at my school. I showed them not to be afraid, to be themselves. I also lent them my book in hopes they would find their path in life. I thank you with the greatest of sincerity and gratitude, as do my friends. I am able to be comfortable with myself and the things i do. And people are coming to me for help and advice and that fills me with glee and a feeling of purpose. And its all because of your book. I plan to purchase your new book and sharing the knowledge i obtain from it.

Finding a place that has a positive Pagan, even though I'm not Goth that would be cool too, would be Awesome. Maybe we should all pitch in and create our own city!!! Pagan Town USA ??? lol Hope you find what you are searching for. As for me I have lived in the big cities and the small towns, you find the same problems in both. Cities are nice for variety but I personally like the small community life, even if there aren't many pagans where we are. We make do. Best of luck and Blessings Always, Silver Hey Raven,

I can understand the downsides, which you mentioned. I'm in the same frame of mind about city life. On the one hand it's nice to have -variety- but a high conglomeration of people is never a good thing either. I hope you find a good place to move (and I hope we do as well >.>).
