I'm converting from Christanity from paganism?

Question

Can somebody give me as much information as possible? I know all the basic things. The year of studying the 3 fold law and harm none.

Answer 1

Step number one - grow a tough skin for all the Fundy rants.

Step number two - look at your reasons for taking this path. [for example it's not a good reason if you're a teen wanting to piss off parents]

Step number three - look at what interests you. What seems to your path. It's useless to sugget a pro-herb url if you're interests are more Viking/Rune.

That'll give some direction.






Late Entry. Passion can you e-mail me please? Might be a troll on the loose here...

Answer 2

The 3-fold law and harm none is Wiccan, not necessarily pagan in general. That's ok, karma works.

witchvox is a good place to start, so is sacred texts.com. Don't rush to call something your own, spend time searching for whatever makes your heart happy. You can mix and match things. Searching for someone else's rules to live by is a Christian thing. Christians are taught to not question. Pagans question everything!

If you read the early Christian writings, such as the Nag Hammadi, you will find that they were very pagan in their thinking.

Answer 3

You are in for an interesting journey. For every one point there is a differing opinion. I liken my path to dining at a Chinese restaurant, taking some info from column A and some from column B. I guess that when there may be 10,000 deities there is room for variety.
The first book I read was Adler's "Drawing Down the Moon"...I would read one chapter and think that made sense until I read the next chapter that stated just the opposite. What that book did for me was quickly show me that there was much to digest and not everything I read was right for me.

Enjoy your journey...it is not a conversion but a realization of what was in your heart all along....at least for now.

It is good to hear that you are open to new ideas. Many people seek alternative religions and it will take a lot of reading (I know some people don't like to read) but it becomes very interesting and exciting! There are many "alternative bookstores" or spiritual shops in the area. These shops offer courses, lessons as well as books, music and tools to follow your tradition. Many people that I know don't follow any "one" tradition it is kind of what tugs at your heart or soul. I prefer healing and using herbs, aromatherapy as well as hands on (Reiki and massage). Good luck on your search! Blessed Be, Willow Brownfeather.

Answer 5

Well the Law of Three and the Rede are Wiccan and do not represent the giant range of non-Wiccan religions within Paganism. Just thought I'd give you a heads-up about that.

Answer 6

Although paganism is very interesting and sounds fun, you shouldn't change your religion at this time. Jesus is coming in our lifetime and you really need to find out the truth about Christianity first. Read "The Prophesied End-Time" by Ronald Weinland and if you still feel the same then you can change.God Bless You and may he open your mind to the truth.

Answer 7

Paganism is extremely broad. The concepts you mention are only part of a very small branch of it.

Answer 8

I would say don't. A great spiritual guru, Dr. Israel Regardie, once wrote of conversion that conversion is spiritually dangerous since in order to embrace the truths of the new path, one must deny the truths of the old path. Religion is not to be chosen, but rather to be followed as a matter of spiritual discipline and personal growth.

Answer 10

To begin with, there is only one god. Maybe...read the New Testament, and possibly the Old too. Talk to a priest/pastor before you make your decision.
