I can't say that my path is any different than it was a year ago. My religious/spiritual path is basically reconstructionist Ancient Egyptian polytheism. I don't like the terms Neo-Pagan or Kemetic. They all come off as to pretentious to me. Reconstructionist because I have studied the culture and temple practices to draw upon them for how I practice my religion.
Now my philosophical beliefs are not straight Ancient Egyptian, but really religion is a belief system and not always a guide book for life. My philosophy partly comes from Buddhism, I have a lot of similar beliefs as they do and Buddhism is so unbelievably broad, a lot of people just don't understand it all or they get on one path of it and do not realize that there are others. It can just be a mindset, not a religion. The mindset really, really helps me with meditation, that's why I mainly got into it. Meditation and spiritual guidance that is, it's hard to say no to your guides.
Now as for following more than one path...I do not worship non-Egyptian gods, although I do respect and have communicated with others due to certain reasons. But I do take the time to study the path and culture of other religions, partically the ancient paths associated with my ancestors.
I do also study "Shamanism" (using the generally accepted term there for that practice) and ancient mysticism, but I think that all can go hand in hand with my religious path.

What are your beliefs now, compared to a year ago?
I do believe they may be the same. I guess you can say I am "lost" once again. But, It will come back, when I am not burnt out!
What path do you speificly follow?
I try to follow Morrigan to the best of how she tells me to follow her. s**t has been crazy around here, so she has been put back on the back burner due to being constantly on the go. :-/
Do you follow more than one?
No, I don't believe I really follow more than one. Whatever I follow.
Please Explain!
