Just having fun getting things rolling on here.
I’m a follower of the horned god and the earth mother, but I also worship Hecate.
What about anyone else? What’s your paganism look like?
No one.
I talk to gods (as I am talking now to you), commune with them, but I don’t follow or worship anyone.
Faith is a little bit like masturbation.
I’m not ashamed of it (I tell people “I’m pagan.”), but talking about the specifics of something so private to me* feels awkward and so I don’t tend to get into it.
*this is in no way a slight against this thread nor the existence of this magazine.
Guess I’ll chime in since I finally got some time!
I’m a Naturalistic Pagan. When I began I did consider following either the Ancient Egyptian, Greek or Roman gods as I’ve always had an interest love for them since I was a kid learning history and mythology. That being said I know some pagans don’t care for or count non-theists in their ranks, and as I don’t believe in the existence of gods anyway, I opt’d to use a purposely fictional pantheon instead of one any typical pagans would have a connection to.
As philosophy wise the ideas of cosmicism and optimistic nihilism fit me to a ‘T’, my pantheon is the Old Ones from the works of Lovecraft. (Which ended up being funny as I didn’t wanna ‘copying’ one community and ended up finding another existing community cause there’s lots of us lol).
