Getting Answers

Throught this research project I've learned a lot about the religious aspects of Wicca and have done some research into media portrayals of Wiccan culture. The hardest part for me so far has been my fieldwork. I've been looking around on a lot of different forums and things and I've found a lot of discussions that are interesting. In an attempt to get some answers for my own questions, I posted a survey on a Wiccan facebook group. I've actually gotten some (not a huge amount, but some) answers. While it's not a large of sample to get any genuine demographic numbers, with open ended responses I'm starting to find out what really draws people to the culture. Hopefully people continue to respond and I get some really great information! Has anybody else had some similar issues with getting in contact with your subjects without actually being a part of it? I'm interested to hear about what others have thought about their fieldwork experiences!
