Hello all, I'm a 24 soon to be 25 year old who happens to be wiccan in a christian community. I'm curious to see what religions we geezers aspire to, and maybe open up the forum for some open minded discussions on our religion, and to hopefully connect fellow geezers with like-religion minded geezers. Please do not turn this into a religion bashing thread, I want this to be an honest discussion of religions that perhaps informs us of various world views.

As for my religion, I'm an eccletic pagan leaning towards dianic wicca. My patron deities are Athena and Diana.

Cool, do you mind telling me more about it? I'm not sure I know what that is in its entirety.

Although it does not classify as a religion my spiritual path lead me to taoism, which translates as "the way".

I'm a reconstructionist Norse/Teutonic first and foremost. That's the religion of the vikings that is.
I have done a "LOT" of research into the subject.

I'm a Sephardic Jew, observant. If I were Ashkenazi instead of Sephardi, I'd be called Orthodox, but Sephardi Jews never split into Reform/Orthodox/Conservative factions.

I practice Gnosticism, which is one of the worlds oldest religions. Gnostic basically means "knowledge seeker." The religion bases itself on pushing people to decide what they think is right, and to always search for more answers rather than settling on what's easy.

My boyfriend is Gnostic. I find it very interesting. The only reason I can't call myself Gnostic is because one of the general beliefs of Gnosticism is in an omnipresent God and of a false God, and I simply don't believe in any gods.
I am a Theravada Buddhist. Or at least, I share the beliefs of one. I can't say I practice meditation or self-deprivation, however.

I don't consider myself wiccan, mostly because I don't bother much with spellcraft or a coven or anything, but I am a pagan.

What's Wiccan?


Wiccan refers to those of us people call witches. Wiccans worship goddess in one form or another. Look it up online if you'd like more details. Wicca is very misunderstood by most Christians.

Cool, I'd love to know more about your religion. However, I wanted to take this time to apologize for not having listed Judaism in the poll, especially since it is one of the major world religions. *bows* Gomen.

Bingo! However many wiccans generally accept the dualism of male/female in nature and therefore in divinity. So the male God is accepted as much as the Goddess. I may be wiccan, but I don't do much in the way of spellcraft myself, you don't have to work spells to be wiccan.

Very true. I myself worship Goddess as well as Consort. I know one doesn't need to practice spellcraft to be wiccan, but I just don't consider myself wiccan. Many of my beliefs come from other pagan religions, so it's easier just to use the term pagan. I do follow the Wiccan rede though.
