10. Happy to share

She was in her 80s and living with us (we were in our 40s with late teenagers). We found Paganism on the net for the first time in the early 2000s. It fit us perfectly and we began going to local group events. Mom was always very cautious and did not like us being public , "especially with the kids".
I was hanging a cinnamon broom up for the holidays one year .. Held it up bristles down just to measure where to put a screw... She saw that and very sternly said... "No Dammit, Bristles up ! To keep unwanted company away" She also had strong opinions on colors, Candles and doing things the right way.
She never came out to us as Pagan, but never shared any of her beliefs with me. As children, she would allow us (siblings) to attend churches with others, but never pushed us into any religion. that is something I continued with my kids.

I share your curiosity about how it survived before the internet
