I've been thinking about this a lot recently. I dabble in two different organizations that have progression paths, and I'm always torn because if I'm not doing the "homework" and chasing Pagan Merit Badges I feel like I'm failing at being a pagan, but what I really want is just to live pagan? Does that make any sense?

In any case, spending time on the Fencraft site and the 3 Practices always helps ground me and I appreciate the work you've put into them.
