AboutDawn Black Expertise I am able to answer most questions about Pagan religions and magic. I am particularly experienced in the areas of Hearth Magic and Kitchen Witchery, including magical cooking and gardening and Hellenismos including liturgy and mythology. I specialize in matters relating to Pagan children and family. I am also well-versed in Western European spirituality including Wicca and Druidry.
I am unable to answer specific theological, historical or liturgical questions related to African Synchretic Spirituality (Santeria, Voodun, Umbanda, etc.) or Heathenry (Asatru, Odinism, etc.)
Experience I have been a Pagan for nearly 20 years and a NeoHellenic Polytheist for 10. I am currently the organizer for an all-path Pagan children's group, the founder and one of several organizers of the local Pagan meetup group and I maintain a regional website and newsletter for local Pagans as well as a website and newsletter for Hearth Witches. I have over 5 years experience planning and executing public Pagan events, particularly public rituals and family events. I have two teenage children of my own whom I have raised in our NeoHellenic tradition.

Question I am a Christian, but recently I've been having doubts about my own faith. I've also been having dreams of Aphrodite. In the dreams I feel like she's calling me. I was actually feeling depressed about certain things in my life, but now that I've been having these dreams I feel more confident and at peace. Am I going crazy or is it possible that she is actually contacting me?
Answer Aphrodite could be contacting you. Gods usually only contact people who are looking for them though. Have you been looking for Her?
I don't think you're going crazy. After all, dreams are dreams. When you start hearing her talk to you when you're awake you can wonder at your sanity. We all do.
