Do Solitary Eclectic Wiccans exist?

Just what I said.

            Do Solitary Eclectic Wiccans exist and what are the guidelines for Solitary Eclectics if there are any?

PS. This might cause another popularity contest, err, debate. But bring it on.

I'd be willing -as a solitary eclectic- to join this conversation if you could give the attitude a rest.

Yes they are out there, I'm one 

[Norn]

I'm a solitary as well

[Ann Cash]

Of course there are. Why wouldn't you think there are?

 There are eclectic Wiccans, Pagans, and music lovers....Being an "eclectic" is just being open to implementing all avenues and incorporating them into your beliefs...I love all forms of music..so I am an eclectic music lover..I also believe that God..by any other name is still God..and why I am an eclectic Pagan is because I believe that there is a Goddess as well...and in all the things that Lark had mentioned in her list below.....would suggest as well that I am an eclectic wiccan. I completed the self -dedication ritual, and I am furthering my knowledge by a coven I have recently found here in Iceland. I have not decided yet, if I want to be coven wiccan...But, I will make my decision when the time is right...Until then, I am a student who is learning..and growing. I understand that you are a Solitary Eclectic Wiccan as well, and that is great....

well said!!! I think everyone has a bit of an eclectic side? I could be wrong.

yeah, i'm a solitary eclectic wiccan. i don't really want to join a coven, out of fear i might get in a strange one (i'm not saying all covens are strange, but i've heard of controlling covens).

[maidenredwolf]

I too am solitary eclectic. I love it and would not have it any other way...

Why they most certainly do! I, myself, being a solitary Wiccan would be totally lost if I were to be told that we didn't. Let's break this down...there are Wiccans (check). There are solitary Wiccans (check). There are eclectic Wiccans (check). So there would obviously be eclectic Wiccans who don't belong to a coven, therefore, solitary.

And personally, I don't believe that there are any guidelines to be a solitary, eclectic Wiccan, since Wicca is such a personal religion. Obviously, you would need to follow the Rede, not belong to a coven, and not consider yourself a member of a specific Wiccan tradition, and I'd say you'd pretty much fit the description.

As an afterthought, there are the 12 Principles of Wiccan Belief set down by the Council of American Witches in 1974, which basically outline what most Wiccans believe in a way that's a little more specific than the Rede...but I never really shaped my beliefs upon what some people created 30 years ago.

Add another to the count.  I am studying with a small group but we all have different paths.  My actual rituals are done alone.

*raises hand* Another one right here! 

[Wiccawise]

Add ANOTHER one to yoru count! *jumps up and down and waves!* I have been to one group ritual and that wasn't the main coven, that was with the Derbyshire Pagans, they have coven meetings on seperate days.
