So, um, let's try this.
Hey, everyone. XxThe Black DiamondxX here. I'm new to this thread and really trying to figure out what I am for sure. It was suggested that I may be more of an Eclectic Neo-Pagan than anything else, but I'm still learning everything.

Hello.
I prefer to be referred to as Isabeth, although my birth certificate says otherwise.
I am seventeen years old, and a senior in high school.
I want to attend UC Davis and double major in History and German.
I am a Germanic Pagan, although I was raised strict German Lutheran.
I started on this path when I was thirteen and give a deck of Tarots cards by a friend's father.
I went through believing I was a Wiccan, but now that I actually know better, Pagan only sounds good to me. =3
Although my friends just explain me away as Wiccan.
I am pansexual (although I tend to fall more often for girls).
I hope everyone and I get along!

I hope everyone and I get along! ONEE-SAN!!! *glomp huggles* How are you doing? I see you joined too! CabbageTheif TheAlchemistofWhite Hello, I am The Alchemist of the White Rose. I am a solitary/celtic Wiccan that has been practicing Wicca for only 6 months now. I have however been practicing Alchemy and Herbology ever since the age of six. If anyone wants to know more about Alchemy you can feel free to ask me. I live in a highly religious household and cannot obtain magickal objects at this time. You may call me whatever you like but I an normally known as either Whitey or Alc. hello! so, Al-K, what form of alchemy is your focus? in what way do you perform your laboratory works, and how do they relate to your spiritual works? i assume your parents must have found a teacher for you, since you were six when you started your training; can you recomend a teacher for me? i am older than you, but you have been practicing alchemy longer than i have. i would love to learn from you! I focus mostly on practical alchemy. I normally just use what I have around the kitchen, with a few specialized tools. I normally keep my religion away from it, but with Witchcraft I've tried to mix the two together. I'm new to the religion part of withcraft, but I'm good with stuff like spells and languages I've learned from alchemy. Herbology is a family practice but I also studied Alchemy at that age and recently completed a college course on Chemistry. So I never had a teacher appointed to me by my family. I would try looking around for books in a library, perhaps the history of Alchemy to start off. Sure, I'd teach you. I've taught kids older than me before, like 16-17 so ok.

Just a retort and a burner. A spice rack too. At six I worked with teas. Then healing drinks. Then healing with alchemy. Then Metals. Alchemy symbols and magical languages. I.E. Daggers I have always tried to focus on transmuatation and Alchemy and Chemistry as a science but yeah, recently I have been trying it into my Witchcraft Religion, but also my own beliefs that is mainly Celtic-ish that revolves around the Earth.

TheAlchemistofWhite and Cabbagetheif if you guys could please take your discussion to another thread since this is the intro thread, not a discuss alchemy thread.

Hi! I'm Kawaii_usagi. Nice to meet everyone biggrin
I've been studying neo paganism for about two years on and off. Until recently I thought I was studying Wicca, but people here at gaia taught me that Wicca is actually something different, so now I'm a little confused and not exactly sure what I am or where to find acurate information. I like neo paganism though because I've always cared a lot about the earth and nature and so earth centered religion really calls to me. Also a lot of the concepts I learned just felt right to me. But although there are some things I believe very firmly in, I'm still trying to find a whole system of belief that fits me because some things I'm still unsure about. Also, like I said, I don't really know where to find accurate, easy to understand information cause most books out there that fit what I believe call themselves wiccan. confused
I don't really practice magic right now, although I'm really interested in learning. I've worked with energy before because I was taught healing touch when I was younger, so I understand the basics of energy manipulation, but I don't fully understand what's different about magic and spells and until I understand it better I don't really feel comfortable practiciing it, but I'm very interested which is another reason I'm here!
Also, I tend to ramble about stuff a lot (as you may have been able to tell by now sweatdrop ) so I apologize in advance if I do that a lot! I just have a lot to say and a lot of questions to ask, so I hope I'll be able to get some answers here!

Good morning everyone.
I am Laurel. I'm 19 years old and studying aerospace engineering at Cal Poly. I recently found this oath I'm on that I am no longer calling "Wicca" and now choose to call it "eclectic neo-pagan with some Wicca extract mixed in." I have been reading tarot for a few years and this particular path just felt right for me, so I went with it.

You might want to drop the Wicca part completely, as Outer Court practices and rituals are not entirely Wiccan. Almost all the Eclectic Neo-Pagan beliefs follow some of the same things that fall under Outer Court.
