A question for pagans?

Question

I follow Asatru and would love to know what you follow. I really enjoy learning about fellow pagan's paths - to be tollerant and understanding you must ask and learn!
NOTE to christians, do not start your paganism is evil rubbish. I try to respect your religion so be respectful of mine. Study it before judging it! I was once one of you so I know what you can be like lol.

this is a link to a q and a about paganism. For any christian about to rip into me go here first! Remember freedom to practice religion means all religions!

Answer 1

To keep it simple, I sometimes say Wiccan. But I only use that as a jumping board. I use some of their ideas and follow the Rede, but I would say I'm more eclectic. I like to incorporate what feels right to me.

The deities I feel closest to are Theia and Hyperion. And they're Greek, while a lot of Wicca I guess has Celtic origins so there ya go. :)

(I'm also a fan of Loki, isn't that someone you'd be familiar with? :))

Answer 2

I am an eclectic Pagan, I suppose. I am a Goddess-worshiping, Nature-defending, Peace-encouraging night stalker, with Animist tendencies.

I enjoy chanting, Essence~Dancing, and the occasional stroll through philosophies from every corner of the world. I am a communicator of some skill, with no great ambition, other than for knowledge both rare and common.

Answer 3

I think its interesting that pagans follow gods that are not necesserily related to thir culture, eg, people practicing native american culture if the live in slough etc.

I consider myself a "pagan" but I dont have what you'd describe as a culture- I think that giving human form to god(s) is a vanity of man and that the true path of paganism is to reconcile onesself to the fact that all things are composed from the same matter,we are all one entity, so tp speak, and this realisation should form the basis of our power.

If you know what I mean.

Answer 4

Equinox Tradition Wiccan

Answer 5

I'm a Hellenic Recon Pagan.

(I also have a Discordian streak, but Eris and the rest of the Greek Pantheon actually tend to get along fairly well)

Answer 6

I consider my path rooted in Wicca, but I'm generally quite eclectic- I have ties with a lot of different religions, both pagan and non-pagan.

Answer 7

I follow an eclectic path, taking bits here and there that I see wisdom, truth and beauty in. There is no one particular brand of Paganism that speaks to me in its entirety although I never stop researching , learning and broadening my horizons.

Answer 8

I am wiccan with Nordic leanings. I have done some study into Asatru. I believe my paternal grandmother who was Norwegian/Sweden practiced many old country ways and my maternal grandmother was a hereditary witch. I learned much from both of them as I was growing up.

Answer 9

Heathen Recon

Answer 10

I don't know what category i would come under. I often do a ritual at a full or new moon, I honour the sun and planets, I honour the earth and all who live here, including animals and sea creatures. I believe in angels and fairies, Merlin and dragons. I work with crystals, healing and meditation. I believe we reap what we sew.
