Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'll start. I'm an agnostic Wiccan, which means for me that I follow Wiccan morals, rituals, and beliefs, but don't believe in the God and Goddess which the main division of Wicca follows, or any God or Goddess. Frankly, I don't know or care if there is a God or Goddess, but I'm not going to believe in them or worship them. I worship nature, and believe that everyone sculpts their own future, and as a whole, every being sculpts the fate of the entire universe. I believe in free will, and don't believe in destiny. I'm studying to learn how to work majick with spells, charms and so forth. No, I don't believe I'll ever be able to turn anyone into a frog, or make a bookshelf dance. I don't think that kind of magic exists, which is why I spell them differently. Magic to me is the kind of magic that turns people into frogs and makes bookshelves dance. It's the kind most know of, but few believe in. Majick, on the other hand, is the kind of majick cast by Wiccans, Pagans, and other occult/arcane religions. It's the real witchcraft, not the kind used by green women with long noses. It's the art of using your will to shape your future, of setting yourself in the frame of mind for something to happen in order to make it more likely. There are other aspects of it, too, such as using divination to see what the past, present, and future hold, but not everything about it. That would be magic. Fellow Wiccans, I know you're here, feel free to add in anything I left out. I'm sure I missed plenty.
Wicca faces a lot of religious oppression. Sadly, most people associate witchcraft with Satan and Satanism. I really have nothing against Satanism, I just don't follow it. However, many think it's evil, and they think Wiccans follow it. Me, I just get a bunch of crap from some of the guys at school. They call me and my Wiccan friends Satanists. (They actually got that partly from an inside joke we once had. I'll have to get the story of that later.) One guy thinks that we think that if we press the pentacles we draw on our wrists, broomsticks will fly out of them. What BS. Pentacles are sacred symbols to Wicca and other arcane/occult religions. A pentacle is a five-pointed star inside a circle. We draw them on our wrists as a silent protest, because a girl got kicked out of her school for doing the same. Which goes to show that a lot of other Wiccans face much more oppression than I do.
I believe that people should be able to choose their own religious path and follow it, as long as they tolerate other religions, and don't try to convert other people to their religion or do crazy things to people who follow other religions, like kill them. And if their religion encourages them to just randomly kill a bunch of people or something hideous like that, and they DO go out and just randomly kill a bunch of people because their religion encourages them to, that's just not right. Other than that, I'm mostly fine with other people's religions. But I'll go into the finer details of that later.

Another thing S*a*s*k*i*a doesn't understand, is that it's the the ChrisTIANS fault that they killed so many people, not ChrisTIANITY'S. It's considered wrong to kill people. Somehow, she just doesn't understand. Besides, if she thinks those facts will convert me, she's wrong. I'm not a Catholic. But I'm still mad at her for being anti-semetic. Even if she insulted Buddhists or somebody else, I'd be mad. It's not right to bully about religion.

Ok, well, here we go.

I am Eclectic Wiccan. That means, I take parts of different Wiccan traditions (Dianic, Gardnarian etc) and principals and mix them together. It also means that I worship different kinds of Gods and Goddesses (Roman, Greek, Egyptian, etc). Well, I don't really, because I haven't found any I'm drawn to yet, but I mean, I'm just explaining. Change this around in Vi's post, and you have basically what I was gonna say. Good job Vi, by the way! The only thing I would change is the whole destiny thing. I'm kinda in a toss up with that. I'm also trying to get better at meditating, Astral Projection (which is kinda hard), and tarot/runes. And...That's about it!

Anyway, nobody has made fun of me...Because nobody knows! Well, aside from a few good friends that is. I do, however, think that people who think Wicca=Satanism need to research a little.

And there is a Buddhist belief that I think is true. "Life is a combination of suffering and pleasure." Because, quite frankly, without suffering, there would be no pleasure. Nobody would know the difference!

There really any religions or beliefs that I disagree with, just some that I know aren't right for me.

And, as the last point, I think that people should get to choose their own path. So what if it's not "Main Stream"? Or maybe it is! Like I say quite often, to each their own.

@Vi-Peanut butter, peanut butter.

Religions religions. What can I say?

I currently have no real religion. I need serious help, and no one to give it to me.

Think you can help? Contact me at 468-Whatthehellismyfreakingreligion.
Nah. Just joking.

Well, I guess it's kinda hard to say which religion I belong to. I go to a Christian Church and all that, but I don't really dollow any of the rules, and I disagree with most of the people who go to the church I go to when it comes to certain things.... they always say they think that way cuz of their religion and all that...I don't believe it. Example, I'm Christian, but I swear, act extremely violent sometimes, and think that homosexuality is okay. Almost all of the Christians I know would just start griping about it, but I don't give a crap. I don't realy know if that's much of an explanation on my part, but hey, it's the best I can do for now.. xd
