Pagan is an umbrella term, not a religion of itself. So it would be okay not to capitalize it. Now Wicca is a religion and should be Capitalized. Christianity is a religion, so should be capitalized.As for being solitary, most of us are. But there is no reason to let make one out of touch with the larger community. I would recommend for starters Witches Voice as starting place. http://www.witchvox.com/Not only is it a good source of information but it can help you find people interested in being contacted and groups and events. Even out in the desert I have had forty or more people that I kept in touch with, first by letters and then by internet. Even being a solitary does not mean to be alone at out of touch any more. I have done this for over twenty five years as a solitary but always stayed in contact with different communities in pagan community. So can anyone who wants to.One other thing, let us define ourselves by what we are, and not by what we are not. We cannot help what foolish and ignorant people wish to believe, and have no need to pass along negative stereotypes. As for capitalizing, even Pagans do it both ways.

Even when you seem to have respect for other religions. You cap Christian, God, Christianity and even Halloween but use lower case for Pagan, Paganism or Pagan God.

I am a solitary witch and it is not necessarily by choice but circumstances. Lovely artile, great explanation of the origins of holidays. Congrats.
