I stumbled upon this article: "Paganism is on the rise—here’s where to discover its traditions" with the recent date "PUBLISHED MARCH 22, 2023"

I was really happy to find this.
Early in the article:
"At least 1.5 million people in the United States identify as Pagans—up from 134,000 in 2001. They range from Wiccans and Kemetics to TikTok witches and heathens."
It makes me so glad people are curious and looking beyond patriarchal-based religions. This is freedom.
The article also talks about festivals and gatherings. The one thing I miss most are all the pagan festivals. When the pandemic came, many of the festivals stopped or went online. I am hoping they come back and grow.
Back when we lived in FL, we used to go to FPG / Florida Pagan Gathering. That was big. There were a few others here and there, too. I used to love to dance around the bonfires!
