Wow...that's pretty interesting. Do you take part in this often? How do you end up feeling? What does it do for you?

A friend of mine who I met in therapy often goes to a sweatlodge in the mountains, and she says it's amazing...she feels as though she leaves her body, and it's this amazing spiritual experience for her...and very healing. I'd like to try that sometime.


GO WITH HIM!!!!!! Id die to beable to! I journey once a week. Its very centering and calming. I always have an easy time getting to the meadow. Ive made my own Drum and it has the most awesome tone, deep and soothing.

I retooled two chokers tonight. Its a bit blurry but its a bone choker representing my Shaman Path and my Pentacle representing my Pagan Path. I used a hook in the center if I want to change pendants

Sunday is a big celestial day..........Pan and Fae rule together in the sky. Solar eclipse at 10:33 PM EST AND New Moon 10:42 PM We obviously wont see the ecipse Russia might......Vereya let me know Love

Rule of thumb.......New Moon til Full Moon your asking to complete things or bring them into your life........ ex I'll ask for security to be brought into my life.

Full moon til New Moon your asking to take things away......ex I ask for the dullness in my mind to be taken away.

[FONT=castle-bold.]So, Just What is a Pagan?[/FONT]

[FONT=Helvetica.]We are not evil. We don't harm or seduce people. We are not dangerous. We are ordinary people like you. We have families, jobs, hopes, and dreams. We are not a cult. This religion is not a joke. We are not what you think we are from looking at T.V. We are real. We laugh, we cry. We are serious. We have a sense of humor. You don't have to be afraid of us. We don't want to convert you. And please don't try to convert us. Just give us the same right we give you--to live in peace. We are much more similar to you than you think.

~Margot Adler



When one defines oneself as Pagan, it means she or he follows an earth or nature religion, one that sees the divine manifest in all creation. The cycles of nature are our holy days, the earth is our temple, its plants and creatures our partners and teachers. We worship a deity that is both male and female, a mother Goddess and father God, who together created all that is, was, or will be. We respect life, cherish the free will of sentient beings, and accept the sacredness of all creation.

Ah, yes, selfactivated is a wealth of Pagan knowledge!

Alas, she hasn't been around for quite some time... but if you've enjoyed this thread, definitely use the Search function to check out her other threads and posts. Maybe you can spark another Pagan or Wiccan discussion? I'd be more than happy to take part.

I always thought a Pagan is a Heathen. NO? :smile:

Told a Pentecostal minister I was a Born Again Pagan because I thought he would get it better than if I told him my preferred "Spiritual Anarchist", but I kinda like Heathen Pagan now that you mention them.

Some of my pagan art.
