Paganism...?
I am in my teens, and very
fascinated by paganism. Where
can I find DECENT information
on becoming one and rituals,
etc. I already believe I have
a love for nature, but all the
crap about it being devil
worship has made me lose
track...

First of all to all the bad mouthing christians I am a Pagan and I do worship God but I also worship Goddess. I do not believe in Hell or the Devil. I love the earth and treat her and her inhabitatints with respect. Now on to your question. Here are some websites I found to be helpful. http://www.witchvox.net/ The Witches Voice http://iamawitch.com/ I am a Witch http://www.twpt.com/ The Wiccan Pagan Times http://www.faqs.org/faqs/pagan ism-faq/ Answers to questions on Pagans and Paganism (This one come in handy when confronted by nosey fundies that want to get all up in your business.) http://www.spiritonline.com/ma in.html Spirit Online http://www.paganlibrary.com/ The Pagan library (Go see "Dealing with Fundies" it is so funny especially "We are the Other People". Its my favorite. It is in reading room one.) Also some of my favorite authors are Amber Wolf, Marian Green, Phyllis Curott, Raven Grimassi, Starhawk and Laurie Cabot. I hope this helps you out. |

If paganism at least had one As in, Paganism doesn't have
one God or one path, it's a
bunch of them.
So if Paganism was the belief
in say Zeus, plus the other
gods that you choose, would it
have survived the Pagan
Holocaust?
yep, coined it myself. :)

It is useless to speculate on the past. It is very hard to say what may or may not have happened. I don't think the amount of gods had anything to do with paganism demise. And, besides, there were more survivors than you think, many who believed in the old ways simply went underground, Christians in public and pagans in private. It is still that way in many places around the world. |

How can I learn about eclectic I'm curious and I want to know
if there are any good books
out there about eclectic
paganism. I feel in my heart
that I want to follow a
spiritual path and I've read
about many traditional pagan
paths and about wicca, but it
just doesn't seem quite right.
I have searched for
information about eclectic
paganism on the web and I
can't find ANYTHING. Any help
from your own knowledge of
suggestions for books or
websites would be greatly
appreciated.

"Eclectic" means that you take some of this and some of that and mix it together for what feels right to you. There are no books written that cover this since it is different for everyone. Keep reading about the various pagan paths. Jot down in a diary or BOS (book of shadows) what 'feels' right to you, what 'calls' you whether it be deity, or ways of doing things, etc. Eclectic is fun because you can mix and match pantheons and rituals all you want, there is no 'wrong way' to do anything, it is all your way. |
