General information / Things I skipped I promised this thread to Loona quite some time ago, but I was never able to complete it at the time, but now that I do have some spare time, I'm able to commit to the promise. Either way, it's been eating at me not doing this. So here it is. This does not have an actual title, it doesn't need one. I will not go over all the details, because, in essence, this faith is entirely my own, however, I will word this to be less personal, and more insightful. This will be edited, and often, as I find things to add, or find to be in greater need of detail, or perhaps even removed, to be irrelevant. I am quite open to questions, but realize I hold the right to not answer, should I find them to be too personal. I may be open, but very few will get all of the answers. Because of some of the above reasons, contradictions will be found, and I will gladly point them out to those who do not see them, when asked, of course. Now, onward toward more detail, here will be a short listing, as proposed by the sticky here.

History I grew up as a Christian, however, my mother has told me stories that has, after the fact, made me believe that the faith wasn't for me. Me and this particular religion, had few, if anything that made me happy with it. One such story, my mother, for the life of her can't remember the exact question, however, I was at church with her, and her mother, and the pastor performing the sermon had spoken something. Asked a question, to which this group, would all say yes to, yet, I was the one who, rather loudly, I'm afraid, yelled no. My mother has some rather odd stories about me in particular, a couple of which happened, before I was even born, and she will acknowledge. Either way, it shows that I was more or less "destined" to be occult, in some manner. So there it started, at least, consciously to me, as I cannot prove the things before hand, as I wasn't there, or was far too young to recall. The journey to my current faith started at the age of seven. My class decided to go over mythology, Greek in particular was first. I soaked it like a sponge at first. Started gathering other books from the library on the matter of mythology. From Greek to Egyptian, everything they had. For the longest time, I used various parts of the two pantheons and mythology I mentioned above, Greek and Egyptian, to create my own rather awful religion. Athene, Artemis, Hermes, Osiris, Isis, etc... More or less my favorites of each group. I felt a connection, and after a while, that soon died. This is when I started to pick up science. I ended up that person that would try to disprove everything with science. After a while though, that stopped working. This led me back to religion, and more specifically, the more fluffy of the occult and paganism. But that was, at the time, due to improper reading materials. So, I continued to experiment in other religions. Egyptian / Greek recon, I looked into faiths such as LaVeyan Satanism, Shinto, Buddhism, among others. Some of the beliefs from various faiths, I believed, so I figured "none of them suit me entirely, so I'll just make my own." Thus, starting at the age of 7, I been slowly creating this faith of mine, although not consciously until I was in high school. I've spent, due to having no social life, much of my time solidifying my philosophies and beliefs. It's far from complete, and there will be a long while longer before it will be, but, I've got enough to make it a acceptable to myself, as, that is quite all that matters. (will add more when I can think of it)

Sorry for taking so long, I've been busy this month with my parents being away. Anyway, I've edited the "History" post to answer your question Loona, if you have any specifics as to that question, I'll be sure to answer it when able.
