""The wind howled. Lightning stabbed at the earth erratically, like an inefficient assassin. Thunder rolled back and forth across the dark, rain-lashed hills. The night was as black as the inside of a cat. It was the kind of night, you could believe, on which gods moved men as though they were pawns on the chessboard of fate. In the middle of this elemental storm a fire gleamed among the dripping furze bushes like the madness in a weasel's eye. It illuminated three hunched figures. As the cauldron bubbled an eldritch voice shrieked: 'When shall we three meet again?' There was a pause. Finally another voice said, in far more ordinary tones: 'Well, I can do next Tuesday.'"

"Before I married the first wife , we had to attend church marriage lessons at the Catholic Church she wanted to get married in... Every one had to stand up and say their name and religion. Obviously most were catholics, a few CoE, then I stood up and said my name and that I was a Pagan... Let''s just say I didn't get included in the conversations... Not really a pagan but have more of an affinity with it than regular religion's. I told the priest to have a religious experience I would go to the woods rather than a man made building..." (Nessa) That's brave and lovely. Thank you for sharing that. I am similar... the forest is my church and nature my religion. The trees whisper wisdom as they dance and sing with the wind. Nice to meet you. Kisses | |||

"I'm not religious at all,but from what little I know paganism sounds a lot more appealing than any of the more mainstream religions. Makes more sense worshipping the weather than god(s),at least you know the weather is real! Hubble-bubble toil n trouble.... " It's very easy these days to find out (the very basics) on paganism from the web . Unfortunately there are lots of misunderstanding out there to all mixed up together . The trick is separating the two . | |||

You can't get away from it no matter what "religion" you follow. " I found a plastic wallet with my birth chart and reading done by my little old lady friend™ that she did in about 1999. I profess not to believe in such things but a close re-reading of 6 pages of explanatory notes and a 12 page reading (all hand-written btw, she's old school and has no truck with people using computers) was uncannily accurate. I can only surmise she knew me staggeringly well when I was 19 and made some very accurate guesses about my personality. Interesting. | |||

"Intresting read. really not sure what I am do I believe in an all powerful god no dont think I do. I believe in nature and its checks and balances. I believe in the main we hinder it and the worlds a sadder place for it. Not sure I would ever go as far as calling myself pagan as there are (to my knowledge) rituals and things go along with that." (Nessa ) Thank you for the honesty and sharing. I have a something that Lee tough me. (Condensed version ) "People lie....religion is made by people. The animals and plants have never lied to me. When the wind blows it's my god stroking my hair...when I look to the sky and feel the warmth of the sun or feel rain kisses on my face ...I feel part of this world and not just passing through.

"I enjoyed readin this post. I've been to moots and handovers and a few gatherings. I belive in something. But I can't quite reach it. I love the woods and feel alive in there and almost a calling. I love the sea and I'm drawn to it. I belive we all should just respect the views of others and stop the bickering! Karma is my judge and jury. So I'll say I'm spiritual Blessed be! " My wife is drawn to the sea also . She is a healer. Whilst I'm more at home in the woods. We bring balance to eachother . | |||

"I would love to know more about this subject. If anybody is local to me and would be kind enough to give me a guiding hand to find my way I would be grateful X " Read 'The Devil and All His Works' by Dennis Wheatley. It's a superb introduction to the Satanic. I believe he was a friend of the arch-warlock Aleister Crowley who lived in Bexhill. Crowley was not a man to be messed with! What he didn't know about the dark world of black magic wasn't worth knowing. It's really not stuff to joke about though. It's very serious and dangerous shit! | |||

""The wind howled. Lightning stabbed at the earth erratically, like an inefficient assassin. Thunder rolled back and forth across the dark, rain-lashed hills. The night was as black as the inside of a cat. It was the kind of night, you could believe, on which gods moved men as though they were pawns on the chessboard of fate. In the middle of this elemental storm a fire gleamed among the dripping furze bushes like the madness in a weasel's eye. It illuminated three hunched figures. As the cauldron bubbled an eldritch voice shrieked: 'When shall we three meet again?' There was a pause. Finally another voice said, in far more ordinary tones: 'Well, I can do next Tuesday.'" " That sounds like Terry pracett ?? | |||

"Interesting thread Nessa. I wouldn't call myself a pagan or a witch etc... I am simply in tunes with some those spiritual things (sorry don't have a better word) and exploring with others. I have an african heritage and have learnt and using a lot from that. Same with shamanism and japanese culture i have grasped a few things from others. I use all of those learnings daily. Great fun to learn and develop your inner self. Hope this makes sense " It does . Everyone has to make there own path. There's lots of information from lots of cultures . You'll find yourself drawn to the information you need . Have fun . | |||

""The wind howled. Lightning stabbed at the earth erratically, like an inefficient assassin. Thunder rolled back and forth across the dark, rain-lashed hills. The night was as black as the inside of a cat. It was the kind of night, you could believe, on which gods moved men as though they were pawns on the chessboard of fate. In the middle of this elemental storm a fire gleamed among the dripping furze bushes like the madness in a weasel's eye. It illuminated three hunched figures. As the cauldron bubbled an eldritch voice shrieked: 'When shall we three meet again?' There was a pause. Finally another voice said, in far more ordinary tones: 'Well, I can do next Tuesday.'" " The man in the hat !! | |||

"i studied paganism since i was 14 and now classify myself as pagan/wiccan. it has a very varied belief system which is interesting" A Jewish friend of mine once told me 'if you put three rabbis in a room , you would get four opinions' I guess it's similar in paganism . It a very personal path . | |||
