Like the title says. What do you believe and how do you classify (if if you do classify) your religion/spirituality? Just out of curiosity to see what kinds of folks hang about here. And if I haven't heard of your particualr brand of belief before be prepared for questions because I love to learn new things.
I'm calling myself a Heathen at this point though I still have a lot to learn.
An no way was I going to try to put this question in poll form. There are just too many options.

What do your options have to do with Paganism? They seem like something outta 20 questions.

Zslone2 What do your options have to do with Paganism? They seem like something outta 20 questions. I don't think she meant the pole to have anything to do with the question at hand. Note the part from her post that I bolded. CalledTheRaven Like the title says. What do you believe and how do you classify (if if you do classify) your religion/spirituality? Just out of curiosity to see what kinds of folks hang about here. And if I haven't heard of your particualr brand of belief before be prepared for questions because I love to learn new things. I'm calling myself a Heathen at this point though I still have a lot to learn. An no way was I going to try to put this question in poll form. There are just too many options. And I tend toward Heatheny things myself.

I'm a Heathen, and also something else that I won't bother explaining. I won't say "I'm also a hedgewitch" because although I am, that's not a religion, and there are lots of hedgewitches who don't believe the same things as me ^_^

Probably be classified as a Heathen, due to my inconaclastic way,s but identify with atheism.
I do find myself a bit of a pagan in the way that I'd look to animals for morality rather than the human race.

A little bit shamanism, a little bit wiccan, a little bit Taoism (is that pagan? sweatdrop Five elements, yin/yang theory...), a little bit I-don't-even-know-it-just-works-okay.

i don't think Taoism counts as any kind of pagan... and Shinto, while japanese Shamanism, is debatably Pagan. it depends on the exact definition.
though in which case, if we use the origional Latin root Paganus, which is how most Christians refer to the word Pagan in definition, any religion that is not Christianity (or at least Abrahamic) is Pagan.
the latin word Paganus refers to rural people, or those who worship minority religions.

Chieftain Twilight and Shinto, while japanese Shamanism, is debatably Pagan. In what sense is Shinto a Japanese form of the Siberian tradition of the Shaman?

Sanguina Cruenta Chieftain Twilight and Shinto, while japanese Shamanism, is debatably Pagan. In what sense is Shinto a Japanese form of the Siberian tradition of the Shaman? before there were Shinto Priests there were Shinto Shaman. they were very earth0based, they dwelt in isoltated places where the boundaries between the world of the living and teh world of the Kami were. they practiced herbal and spiritual medicinal remedies and such, they followed symbolic and psychospiritual traditions, they would routinely visit the Otherworld, and come back with wisdom to share with the people of villages where they would travel. they themselves may not have been called Shaman by everyone, but they have been considered Shaman at least by westerners, and indeed by many people in Japan during the time. i admit that in it's more modern form Shinto isn't quite the same as the ancient Siberian practice of Shamanism, but Shinto DID origionally come from the Chinese practice of Chinto, or Shindo, which was a sort of cross between Paganism and Shamanism.
