sheshe507 what exactly is a pagan? and how do u cover? its a bit similar to hijabi women who cover their hair as well as their bodies..... Some other people have already defined pagan. Like they said it's an umbrella term and covers a lot of different beliefs. I just feel it fits alright, so I use it. More specifically I'm kind of an eclectic neo-pagan. I worship many Gods and Goddesses most of them are Greek. As to how I personally cover, it's just the hair, not the body. So I might walk out of the house in cut-off shorts and a tank-top, but my hair will be covered. I usually use a scarf or a bandana - lately I've been combining the two in contrasting colors. And there's different ways I tie them. I just learned how to tie a tichel and so I might start using that. Sometimes I use ways a hijab can be worn as inspiration. But like I said, for me it's just covering my hair. And I do it because I feel like right now it fits with my path - but it is, as some have already said, by no means a universal pagan thing. Which why I asked if any of the pagan girls here practiced it. Out of curiosity what religion are you?

CalledTheRaven sheshe507 so its wat jewish women wear? It can be, though some seem to prefer a hijab style and many go for just a simple bandana tied over their hair. There's no specific rules about it and the pagans who do it come from many different paths and perspectives (though it seems popular with specific types of Hellenics). And no, pagans are specifically not Jewish (or Christian or Muslim). You need to understand that "pagan" is an umbrella term though. There's a lot of different types of pagans who follow different Gods and believe different things. So while some pagans may veil, it's not exactly a "pagan thing" because there are so many different types of paganism. ok

They were foreign exchange students so they moved back to their country at the end of the year. We didn't talk about religion all that much though - Chem is not the best class do that in. You and I should sit down and talk about it. If you want to. You should pm me.

Why? I've never read anything about Pagan Modesty or anything about Pagan deities commanding it's followers to veil. No disrespect here, just curious.

Bella Regina Why? I've never read anything about Pagan Modesty or anything about Pagan deities commanding it's followers to veil. No disrespect here, just curious. There are a number of reasons. I know one Kemetic that Ptah requests she covers on the days of his festivals. I know another that Anpu requested her to start veiling for a variety of reasons. From what I've seen, at least in the Kemetic community, is its a symbol of the deity or of the relationship between that deity and devotee.

It's a bible site apparently, but the information here is relevant. Here is another link (for those interested) about Kemetic Veiling. It's another forum, but still relevant and interesting! biggrin I didn't even know this was a thing, to be honest.
