      A lot of this book is fairly obvious: don't be too conspicuous, consider how and when to be open and with whom, be a good community member so people will see beyond labels, etc. While I agree that running a coven or study group takes a time commitment, I think it is a little overboard to claim that "You have to be available for every coven get-together. Vacations, family reunions, even an afternoon movie and dinner afterward with your spouse all have to take second place." That isn't commitment, that's needing to _be_ committed. I was in a coven that met weekly for over two years--when I was in my twenties with no children. Later I was in a coven that met twice monthly for many years. But it wasn't always at my house. Eight sabbats and 12 or 13 moons seem to equal 21 meetings a year. But most groups I know combine moons and sabbats that fall within a week of one another, so they end up with 17 or 18 meetings per year.. If you are practicing an established tradition there isn't that much planning involved either. The script is in the BoS. You can decorate elaborately if you want to and you can write new rituals if that is your thing, but it isn't an obligation. I guess I am saying you don't have to be a slave to your Paganism.
