I've been studying religions and faiths for about ten years. I've pretty much got who believes in what. Wicca however, still seems to be "calling" me. The problem is I live in a country in which that kind of "religion" is not very easy to study. Brazil is a majorly catholic nation and, trust me, I've looked, but I haven't found any covens much less anyone to talk to about this. How do I start out in this solitary path? Is there any basic literature I should read? How do I know that wicca is really "right" for me? Are only people of nordic ascent capable of the practice? If anyone out there can help.... I'll be truly grateful :) Thanks!!

This is from the Frequently Asked Questions on The Witches' Voice: "These belief systems or traditions of Witches are often based upon the particular culture from whence they originated." So people with Celtic heritage base it on their culture, people with Norse heritage base it on their culture, etc. It doesn't matter where you come from, the Ways of the Earth are universal.

Before investing on books, etc., do some meditation, or commune with nature, or something similar to be sure that this is what you really want (you obviously have some doubt, or you wouldn't be asking how to know if this is right). If it is right for you, you won't have to ask.
