First off, don't bother checking out the journal, it's dead, i mainly use it to bitch when my husband isn't home lol. Witchvox profile is "M&B" under Riverhead, NY.
Now, to my main point lol...two of my close friends are 17 and 19, met the 17 year old on Witchvox, the 19 year old through other friends my age (late 20s.) i've known them for over a year and about three years, respectively, both are long distance so the communication mainly takes place online. When i met them both they were, and still very much are, rabidly Pagan lmao, so i've given plenty of Paganism-related advice as well as general life advice. They were (are) both seekers in the sense of not having all the answers (who does?), but, like i said, as Pagan as they come...made my job as an unofficial mentor really easy lol.
As far as "I'm just considering paganism along with a list of other possibilities" kind of seekers, it seems to me that plenty of accurate and balanced resources are already out there, if people choose to avail themselves of those resources, great...attempting to mentor a student not ready to be mentored, on the other hand, seems too close to proselytizing for comfort, not too mention usually a waste of time.
Looking forward to hearing other people's thoughts and comments~~Maria.
What kind of seekers?
