I accept who I am spiritually/religiously

[Futhark]

over the past week or so i have been feeling like i have had to make a life or death choice on what my religion is

i have come to terms with who i am and i am a pagan

Asatru and druidry are my favorite paths
although i like alchemy too and astrology

just wanted to let the RF know

although i have been dabblinig and getting to know hermeticism the past month

Interesting! How will this affect your day-to-day do you think?

Who else can you be, but you? You could pretend to be someone else, but it takes courage to accept who you are and be happy. So if you feel you're Pagan then own it.

my days will probably involve more esoteric research, hopefully more time to reflect on how i can become a stronger version of me.

thank you for the self-esteem booster, its just as a solitary pagan with no one there to communicate with that knows me personally, it sometimes feels like an uphill battle. As far as not having a pagan support system. i mean i have people online i can talk to but its different from when i was close with my kindred and could just ask the gothi anytime for insight.

Being solitary can get pretty lonely, I imagine. Is there a Unitarian Universalist church near you? They tend to be pretty open to different faiths, including Pagans (There's CUUPS, for example) and can provide a community even if you're solitary.

I agree. Unitarian is very accepting.

I would caution against anything calling itself 'druidry' as the druids and their practices are all lost to the mists of time.

How does this square with what we actually know and understand about reality?

Well put...
