It was appearing in this time that Anna finally met other contest who felt the exceptionally way she did about the Old Gods - they called themselves witches. This was a Gardnerian group run by a member of the aristocracy (Brighten Priestess) called Julia Isobel Reed, and it was she who introduced her to actual Celtic deities and the practice of witchcraft.
