Over 25,000 years ago, our ancestors across the continent
             practiced an ancient form of religion known as paganism. During the
             Neolithic and Paleolithic time era, our ancestors were in awe of the
             great manifestations of nature. Due to lack of scientific thought, they
             were riddled with ignorance and superstition. Everything had a supernatural
             They associated each naturalistic phenomena with a type
             of god, inscribing inanimate objects with life -like characteristics .This
             practice is referred to as animism. Every element ,be it thunder ,rain or
             the sun ,was thought to be a god (or goddess) within it.
             Eventually their gods became an object of worship known as polytheism.
             Eventually many forms of polytheism evolved to what is known as paganism.
             Now defined as :The worship of a god or goddess whose roots
             are in pre-Christian Western Europe. Modern paganism is alive and well
             today. It consists of many sub-divisions .These include ~Wicca ,druidism
             Santeria and many others. Wicca focuses on the worship of a god and
             goddess .In Wicca ,there is a plethora of pantheon of deities that one
             can choose from including: Greek, Norse ,roman etc......

             Saturday of August. (which ever is closest to the new moon)
             It is in honor of the Greek goddess Hecate. She was first worshipped
             in ancient Greece -called the triple goddess of magic. She is often
             represented in triple form ; maiden (youth) ,mother (fertility)
             and crone (the wise woman). In ancient Rome ,she was known as
