Since you became Wiccan or Neo-Pagan?
Also, if you used to be one and aren't anymore, how long *were* you Wiccan or Neo-Pagan?
Nine years and counting here!

Did not ask what I or others should do, or whether we should leave. I am asking present and former Pagans a question--if you're not one of those, answer something else, please.

Also, I did "try Jesus." For three years. I have written partial "testimonies", too:
Written in 1997, shortly after I dedicated myself to the Gods:

Written last month, about the day I left the Assemblies of God church:

I'm a chaote, which is somewhat different, but since there aren't many (if any) questions pertaining to chaos/ceremonial magic...
Six years of self-induced confusion and paradigm shifts and near-insanity and questioning of the nature of reality.
Loved every minute of it.
Edit: Shouldn't have been past tense. STILL loving every minute of it!

Personally, it's been about 4 years.
However, I was Pagan till I was like, 5, and then I went Catholic, and then back to Paganism.
Catholicism = not my thing.
:D
So, in total, that'd be 9 years. But if till I was 5 is too little to count, then, just 4 years.

I've been studying paganism for about 8 years. Mostly ecclectic studies, solitary.
I never try to force my beliefs on anybody. I get shocked and upset by some of the ways people express their beliefs on this site.

I really don't fall into either category....but i have changed my religion from Christianity about...5 years ago.
I'm not really Wiccan or Neo-Pagan. I don't know what I am but I do study the occult.

I was raised Jewish, but for the past seven years I've considered myself Eclectic, merging parts of Judaism that I like with parts of Paganism that I like to make a religion that works for me.

Wiccan since I was born in 1968, but officially by my own choice since 1997. Once, always.

I started practicing in 1998, so that's about eight years. I hardly ever use ritual form right now, mostly because of my living arrangments, but I intend to again once I've got space to have an altar.

I always honored my deities and marked the seasons. I was raised with metaphysics. It wasn't until 15 years ago that I learned there were others whose beliefs were similar to mine. Happy, happy, joy, joy!

I cast my first spell in 99. Don't remember how long I believed in it before then.
