Pagan Path Poll

[☆Dreamwind☆]

Hee hee, I used alliteration. Since we often get left out of the consensus except as Other, I'm curious to know how many follow specific paths? Dunno how many options the forum allows, but here goes!

I'm unsure if Native American Spirituality, Hinduism, Shinto, Voodoo, Santeria, and Polynesian Spirituality (unsure of what it's called) care to put themselves under the umbrella. I've heard conflicting views about it. Which is what the Other option is for, and don't wish to upset practitioners by assuming as such. But feel free to chime in anyway!

I'm sure I've missed out on something but hey, my brain isn't an encyclopedia, and I don't know everything.

 

[The Hammer]

I selected Druid, but I also work particularly with the Norse/Germanic Deities.

 

[VoidCat]

I'm eclectic...i mix luciferian/theistic satanism/demonolatry, with norse, sumerian, and Egyptian paganism.

I've made my own path

 

[☆Dreamwind☆]

I'm an eclectic, my deities are from the Roman, Norse, Greek, Hawaiian, Celtic, Egyptian and Babylonian pantheons. I sometimes write my own prayers. I'm an animist and hard polytheist, and I don't think I follow the particulars of more structured pagan paths.

I chose Druid but the Buddhist Noble Eightfold Path and meditation are important to me as well. I am seriously considering adding Shamanism to the mix also.

 

[Tamino]

Kemetic (no 'h', it's a simple plosive "k" sound)

I have reflected on this and I have honestly no clue why Egypt and not any other culture or path (I tried Christianity, witchcraft, Celtic... None of it stuck). It just happened.

 

[Callisto]

I didn't vote as it wouldn't contribute to an accurate count. I'm a Hellenic Recon and a Trad Wiccan.

Abstained, I am just a wanderer

Kemetic (no 'h', it's a simple plosive "k" sound)

Technically "kemetic" would be written in hieroglyphics and lack vowels, with the pronunciation being unknowable to us.

 

[☆Dreamwind☆]

My bad on the spelling.

 

[Guitar's Cry]

Eclectic with a focus on mysticism.

 

[beenherebeforeagain]

Eclectic...I borrow from several traditions, usually with modification...Druidry appeals to me, but my disabilities make it seem something I can't pursue these days...a great deal of it seems to be similar to some Native American...I have no recent ancestors from the nations...but what I have read and heard is mostly consistent with my personal experiences...

 

[Isabella Lecour]

Eclectic with Hellenic leanings, almost Pythagoreanism in the aspects of sacred numbers. I consider myself an Earth Mystic for shorthand but family tends to call me a weather witch.

 

[Soandso]

It's been a while since I've walked the pagan path, but I do miss it... Discussing the runes has made me realize just how much I want to get back onto that path

For me, I do love the druid way, but I'm not sure that's where I'd plant my flag just yet. For now I'm just doing my own thing, but I do have more of an eclectic approach. Most of my practices are influenced by northern and western European inspired practices, but I also respect and admire the local indigenous ways as well. I don't go out of my way to practice those, but growing up around them has definitely influenced me and the way I do things

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

I'm a Germanic Heathen.

 

[Sun of Lugh]

I'm glad to see many fellow Druids on here, as well as eclectic folks! It makes me wonder where most Pagans or Earth-based people fall in terms of category, if we look at total numbers across the world. This forum probably isn't representative.
