A Brief History of the Gilden Kindred:

More often than not pagans find that we are alone in our studies and our spiritual growth. We struggle with structure, and at times crave community. I struggled personally with knowing which ways to turn. I rejected the cult-like and totalitarian lives that Abrahamic faiths forced on the peoples under their rule- and so I escaped the cult of my youth, and consumed spiritual and religious texts with a voracious appetite. I wanted to know. I wanted to understand. I searched for the thing that ached in my chest and whispered that I did not belong.

I was sure there must be more people out there like me. Decades of research, decades of struggling with different groups, and decades of fighting my own personal demons. I created this group, reached out to people I could trust, who knew not only what it was to be alone but also what it was to be betrayed or abused even by non-traditional groups. I hope together we can grow, and create a space we can all thrive and be ourselves in- eventually I hope we will make a positive impact on our community.

"I don't think we need to break peoples minds and spirits down. The path is broken and uneven enough without us doing it to those walking it. I want to take people as they are and help them with however much or little community or structure they need."
