hello, I am interested in learning all I can about a specific branch of the pagan religion but sadly I don't have the name of it, only a short description
they don't believe in god, and instead they (as best as I can tell) believe that humans are the god's of this world. they practice a magic, the spells they cast are very smiler to wiccan. they have bad karma spells and good karma spells. they also do a ritual when you join and have a naming spell. I also know that to do spells they use candles and incense usually, but alot of other things are also used. NEW INFO: it is a new world pagan religion, not old world pagan
I don't know anything more and wish to learn more about only this branch. as I get more info I will add it to the list untill someone can name the branch.
EDIT: a copy of the conversation were she explained the religon to me
9/28/2009 8:00:43 PM Risingshade(kera) Anthame Elatha I discovered the pagan group I am in is called a coven
/3/2010 5:21:28 PM Risingshade(kera) Sarphic Insanity(risa) I'm a branch of pagan 2/3/2010 5:21:32 PM Risingshade(kera) Sarphic Insanity(risa) that doesnt fallow a diety 2/3/2010 5:21:37 PM Risingshade(kera) Sarphic Insanity(risa) but that doesnt mean there arent any 2/3/2010 5:21:57 PM Sarphic Insanity(risa) Risingshade(kera) so wait, some pagans worship a god and some dont? 2/3/2010 5:22:05 PM Risingshade(kera) Sarphic Insanity(risa) mhm 2/3/2010 5:22:13 PM Risingshade(kera) Sarphic Insanity(risa) theres a lot of different branches of paganism 2/3/2010 5:22:26 PM Risingshade(kera) Sarphic Insanity(risa) I just fallow one that doesnt have a diety 2/3/2010 5:22:37 PM Sarphic Insanity(risa) Risingshade(kera) I only knew there was old world and new world pagan religons 2/3/2010 5:23:50 PM Sarphic Insanity(risa) Risingshade(kera) so now I wonder this, since your branch dosnt beleve in a diety, what do you worship? 2/3/2010 5:25:12 PM Risingshade(kera) Sarphic Insanity(risa) we dont really worship 2/3/2010 5:25:38 PM Risingshade(kera) Sarphic Insanity(risa) we believe of ourselves as our own diety and we fallow what we believe we are expected for 2/3/2010 5:26:01 PM Risingshade(kera) Sarphic Insanity(risa) we all have our own heart and to devolope our own uquie place in this world 2/3/2010 7:47:50 PM Sarphic Insanity(risa) Risingshade(kera) yep. Btw, I still have one thing I am not clear on. Sadly I watched the simpsons and lisa simpson ran into some wikka people and they taught her about wikka. From what they were saying I couldnt tell if the creators were confusing pagan and wikka, or if they are very similer, what is the dif between wikka and pagan? 2/3/2010 7:49:38 PM Risingshade(kera) Sarphic Insanity(risa) wikka is a strict verson of pagan 2/3/2010 7:49:51 PM Risingshade(kera) Sarphic Insanity(risa) with specific rules and gods 2/3/2010 7:49:57 PM Risingshade(kera) Sarphic Insanity(risa) it is a branch of pagan 2/3/2010 7:50:09 PM Sarphic Insanity(risa) Risingshade(kera) wikka is a form of pagan?! I had no idea 2/3/2010 7:50:30 PM Risingshade(kera) Sarphic Insanity(risa) yeah 2/3/2010 7:50:40 PM Risingshade(kera) Sarphic Insanity(risa) thats why a lot of our spells are the same
EDIT#2:
11/2/2009 10:34:20 PM Risingshade(kera): its the first step to becoming pagan and after that you can offically consider yourself pagan 11/2/2009 10:34:45 PM Risingshade(kera): and a witch 11/2/2009 10:35:01 PM Sarphic Insanity(risa): ah hah 11/2/2009 10:35:06 PM Risingshade(kera): the naming ceremony starts out with using a dagger to open the circle 11/2/2009 10:35:26 PM RRisingshade(kera): the circle the place where all energies are delt with and where all atmosphere and magic is taken place 11/2/2009 10:36:05 PM Risingshade(kera): its the place you are introduced to first as a pagan, you go in normal, you do your naming ceremony, and then you come out as a pagan witch 11/2/2009 10:36:10 PM Risingshade(kera): and training begins 10:37:38 PM Risingshade(kera): threwout training you learn to deal with energies and spirtual forces 11/2/2009 10:37:48 PM Risingshade(kera): opening up your 3rd eye so to speak 11/2/2009 10:37:54 PM Risingshade(kera): descovering your race 11/2/2009 10:38:05 PM Risingshade(kera): and partaking in real life rituals and pagan holidays

you understanding of Karma is incorrect. i'm not in the greatest understanding of it myself and i do not want to give you more false information.
(so if anyone else in the guild has a better knowledge of it and can expain it, could you please?)
i am in serious doubt that you friend knows the mysteries of the wicca. the spells and rituals of it are oathbond, and therefore unavailable to those who are not in a lineaged coven that can trace back to the founder, gerald gardner.

The what is karma question is kind of involved from Buddhism's end, and frankly, without copy pasting a lot of what I'm about to link, I'd probably not do it justice either. What I can tell you is that simplified, karma is action. The result from karma is called vipaka, and it's got a relationship kind of like a seed and a fruit - karma is a seed, and it'll grow into a tree that bears the fruit of vipaka.
That being said, there's a bunch of different types, including the kind you're born with because of your parents, the kind that made it over from the previous owner of your karmatic string...the kind you create for yourself...
They're all in there. Long read though, so buckle down if you're gonna read it. 3nodding

Eve Nyla Calelith From Wikipedia: According to karma, performing positive actions results in a good condition in one's experience, whereas a negative action results in a bad effect. The effects may be seen immediately or delayed. Delay can be until later in the present life or in the next.
thats exactly what I said. my friend isnt a wiccan she is a pagan, but idk how she kows about wiccan's. this is really annoying me that not one person thinks I know what I am talking about. I know what I have been told. EDIT: it is a new world pagan, not old world. You said it would be immediately. Karma doesn't always work like that.
PAGAN IS NOT A RELIGION, IT'S AN UMBRELLA TERM.
