What is a Freethinker? Freethought is a philosophical viewpoint that holds that opinions should be formed on the basis of science, logic, and reason, and should not be influenced by authority, tradition, or any dogma.

This is a group for anyone who is a Wiccan and lives in the Lebanon, MO. area. I feel like there may be many of us here, but too many are in hiding.
