- Well, the thing that I have noticed most people need, and I try to
- provide it as much as possible when I can is _networking_... A lot
- of solitaries are not with a group because they don't know how/where
- to find a group, much less approximately how many others of them are
- around. Definitely keep stocked up on addresses & newsletters of
- local pagan groups, and when possible, calendars of upcoming events.
- And if you use your store space after hours for various events (as
- the magick stores in my area do - they have circles, recovery meetings,
- etc., after hours in the store), make sure it's well-posted so that
- people who just stop by for a look around will know. And, I guess,
- try to be friendly & encouraging, because newbies to paganism/Wiccan/
- WitchCraft/magick tend to be kinda shy & reserved about it at first,
- until they finally manage to find each other out there.

- Blessed bee and sacred hornet.
