Just go away. your not wanted here
no one wants to talk?
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post here...cause I don't know what I am now.
But can I ask you what pagan is?
I might be pagan...who knows...
this is the definition i got from dictionary.com. Im not really good at explaining it.


–noun
1. one of a people or community observing a polytheistic religion, as the ancient Romans and Greeks.
2. a person who is not a Christian, Jew, or Muslim.
3. an irreligious or hedonistic person.
–adjective
4. pertaining to the worship or worshipers of any religion that is neither Christian, Jewish, nor Muslim.
5. of, pertaining to, or characteristic of pagans.
6. irreligious or hedonistic.
Greetings,
I'm 18, pagan and most heavily influenced by my land's druid ways. I found the pagan path through research i conducted into the ancient celts. For me everything suddenly made sense when I realised that a higher power was to be found outside in the beauty of nature rather than in strict rules or worship. It gives me heart to see others travelling this same path.
Blessed be!

That definition doesn't really give a very good idea does it? The pagan path is less about religion (religion conjures images of controlled worship).

On my calendar (Gwydions Moon Calendar) it says "Our Pagan Heritage is an adaptive and holistic spiritual cosmology. It is founded on the reality (and responsibilities) of our role as part of living nature. It is not a religion dependant on 'faith' in a #set of beliefs'".

I much prefer that definition.

I like that definition...=o
So taking responsibility in living with nature???

......I'm gonna go research about this and come back!
Paganism is an umbrella term for any faith that does not follow the Abrahamic God (IE: Christianity, Islam, Judaism). That's it, nothing more. Paganism is NOT a religion, no matter how much you want it to be.

Also, your land's druid ways? Even if you were celtic, that's a blantant lie. The druids died out a long, long time ago, and their practices and beliefs died with them and were never recorded.

Which path did you find, then?

And that must mean you are aware that the Gods of the Ancient Celts are closed to you, yes?
