Hello, I've been a member of this forum for a very long time. It is only now after a 4 year break that I have returned, and with it my religion has changed from Norse Paganism to Sunni Islam. As they say, AMA.
It bothers me how many times our beliefs are seen from a Christian viewpoint, because in reality it is dishonest and yet it is the greatly held belief by so many. Obviously it isn't a big big issue because we aren't trying to get people to follow our belief system, but it would be nice to have...
I'm pretty happy with where I am, I just strive for more information with everything I get interested in. Mind you I still feel my occasional pulls towards Ibadi Islam or Orthodox Christianity, but that's only really because I want answers and they have easier paths to them.
I was wondering if there is any good literature regarding Celtic paganism, I need more info before I can really consider myself a practicing Pagan, but good info seems to be scarce on the sites I've come across. Many thanks!
After a lot of time, I've finally come to rest or at least trying to do so, and I've become a Celtic pagan, but haven't chosen any specific set of Celtic deities nor have I learned enough to consider myself practicing. I find it sort of difficult to find satisfactory material on Celtic forms of...
I follow Gods such as Odin, Thor, etc while I also believe that Odin is sort of like "God" in the Christian sense, and that the other gods are similar to Angels. I'm known as a Henotheist. I believe in multiple deities, or acknowledge they could exist, while focusing on one supreme deity.
I understand the feelings. I know I'm late to the party, but better late than never.
I find it hard even for myself. Somehow I always look back to Islam or Sikhism, but I know they really aren't for me in the long run. It bothers me.
Hopefully Hinduism is your final pitstop, and if not...
Oh I know! Haha I love the discussion though. I looked into Zoroastrianism, not really for me in the long run. I think thats what's holding me back from religions like Christianity or Islam, they're major life changes, where as Pagan traditions have always felt home like to me.
A lot of people think they need to find their place right away, I've been off he forum for quite awhile. Actually I nearly forgot about it existing. I have been a European Pagan, for awhile now, but let me tell you all, that doesn't mean I've settled down. I still find myself looking into...
There are lots of websites on it. Truthfully I find that actually sitting down and talking (or messaging) a Tengrist is the most useful approach though. Many websites don't touch on the types of questions I have regarding Tengrism. A simple Google search will bring up lots of info on it though!
