For me, I don't personally 'worship' anything. I believe in a greater existance and energy of all that surrounds. I do believe in karma and 'you reap what you sow'. I don't identify myself with any particular religion or name. I used to follow some Christianity and later on some Pagan faiths, but have since developed my own opinions without being led into another person's opinions and outlooks. I believe in life, love and happiness. I also believe that with good there is bad and that is the equal balance of nature. Life is an experience and it is not for many to know at this moment what is beyond the flesh. Though there are a few that have such knowledge. I consider every day a new experience to learn from, even if we've done it all before. There is always something to carry out with purpose. Life is what we make it. We create our own heaven and we create our own hell. Many may regard me as a Pagan follower, but I personally dance to my own tune.

I follow the Norse Pantheon. I am not oathed to any of them because I haven't felt the need yet.
I don't serve them. They are my Elder Kin, my ancestors. I honor them and respect them a great deal. They are family. They would be rather disappointed in me if I started serving anyone. And I sure as hell don't get on my knees. Talk about pissing them off.
Yes there is more then one.
We have the 9 noble virtues so to speak. But it's always about honor. Honor is an important trait that I think most of us have forgotten about.
There is no punishment. I answer to myself. I create my own "luck" by my own choices. No one else's. The God's are my God's. Not my dictator.

I don't have a particular God or Goddess that I honor; I honor all deity and spirit. I don't have a "faith." I'm Pagan. There is no need to have "faith" in something that is tangible to me in every way. My gods don't punish as in the Christian sense. They do have a sense of humor, though. We have a saying: if the gods really want to punish you, they will grant you your wish.

My God is The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. We can all know who God is (The Holy Trinity) and can live out his life through our earthly families. God bless!

I agree with Daughter, with the exception that I follow the Celts, although the Norse do have a special place in my heart as I come from both lands.

Jesus is my Lord and Savior. He is calling me to a higher standard. My reward is eternal life with Him.
