"I started imbibing the Wiccan tradition from my mother Ipsita from the time I was a child. It teaches one to live with strength, dignity and a sense of oneness with something greater than ourselves. Pagans of old would have identified it with elemental worship. Ipsita taught us to have an open mind, to understand the mystical, and the scientific, and many sides of every phenomenon. This Wiccan perspective, which I have seen from childhood, shows science and mysticism have no quarrel. Ipsita’s teaching has also spoken of how, like many ancient traditions of the world, physical death is not the end."
