Personal Narrative: I Am A Wiccan

I am a Psychic/ Medium and a Wiccan. Even just one of those words can make people cringe, so imagine telling them that I am all three? There used to be a time when I cared what people would think and say about me. Thankfully, those days are long gone and now I feel so free with my mind, body and soul.
