I believe in nature first of all. And the elements (wind water earth and fire). But I don't believe in any gods or godess. I believein spirits. Some are stronger than others. I believe in spirit guys and that we all have light or dark in us. I believe that our spirits all have different paths. So what am I?

Sounds a lot like Shintoism.

Well, that essentially makes you a pagan by definition. Pagan simply means non christian if you look it up in the dictionary. Pagan, I'd say so. You do mean spirit GUIDES right, if not then i guess there should be spirit ladies as well. :)The best way to find where you fit in or what you really believe is to arm your self with knowledge, then test your beliefs by sticking to them during the hard times. Bright Blessings to you and yours!

You are who you are. You are probaby someone whou hasn't completey identified your beliefs or studied enough to understand fully what people believe.
Among Pagans, not all believe that the gods and goddeses are the all-powerful being that the Christians believe in. Some believe the gods and goddesses to be more personifications of enegy or aspects of nature.
I can't tell you exactly what religion is best for you; that is something that you need to discover for yourself.
If you would like to study a bit about Wicca, there is a free online first-year course available at www.magickaschool.com
It's worth checking out.

You are discovering. You can be a Pagan without a title. Or you can attach yourself to a specific practice such as Druidism, or Wicca, or other structured forms. As humanity realizes it's existence is in peril if a balance with nature is not reached more Forms may scome into being.
I believe in a divinity that is all encompassing, we are all a part of the divinity as are the lowest life forms and even inorganic matter. All that is our existence is spiritually divine. I will worship an Earthworm as soon as I will a symbol.
I guesse that makes me a pantheists in principle.
I can't help you define yourself.

You sound like the average pagan to me. Not all pagans are theistic, that is not all pagans beleive in gods or goddesses. Or they might perceive the gods as being little more than spirits. Giving a human face to the forces around us isn't always helpful. Labels aren't really that useful in the long run. You could outgrow them.

Probably more of a spiritualist, possibly atheist pagan. Yes they exist. I have a really super cool contact on here that is one. You don't have to put yourself in a box though. Believe what every you want.

You sound like me. Try reading up on Kitchen Witch, Hedge Witch, Green Witch. They're all the same thing, just different names. A Hedge Witch is one who focuses more on herbs, healing and nature than really elaborate rituals or things like that.

You are you and you believe what you believe... I'd classify these beliefs as pagan, but you don't have to.
I'm also atheist, being Taoist in my spiritual views, but I love pagan holidays and symbols so I also refer to myself as a pagan.

Sounds like some Native religion. Try looking that up, or Vedic (from India). that doesn't sound pagan at all.

That is such a great philosophy and i don't feel that you should have to classify yourself. Organized religion dispromotes originality which it seems you feel strongly about. Just keep your beliefs, make up your own name. Could you explain your beliefs more in depth to me they sound interesting... my email is staciesplan@yahoo.com
