Anonymous asked: Hi, I have a question. If I feel very spiritual about nature and love being in it, but don't actually worship any deities or do any rituals, is that still Paganism? Thanks :)
mystic-rose asked: Hi, I really like your blogs! As an intuitive practitioner but not a wiccan, I also appreciate you clarifying the differences between witchcraft, wiccans, and pagans. I particularly enjoyed your post about Bast or Bastet. I have been working with her for many years. I just wanted to let you know that the third picture may actually be Sekhmet, her lion-headed sister, who is known to be much more...
cloud-dazed-moon-child asked: your entire entry on the Greek Goddess, Artemis was really nice! I found all of the information pretty useful. I feel like I got to learn more about her from a totally different persepective. She is my patron deity.

The Goddess Series ~ Bast
I Heart Paganism’s Goddess Series Bast
The following is by Avalon Sakti Tiamat:
About Bast Bast is an ancient Egyptian goddess. Her origins go back to a time long before cats were domesticated in Egypt. It is believed that her form originally was not a domestic cat but some other feline, possibly a lioness or leopard. Personally I think of her as a panther. As opposed to other Neteru...

The Goddess Series ~ Artemis
I Heart Paganism’s Goddess Series
Artemis
By: Anna Yamamaya
Her Origins and History
Most historians suggest that the origins of Hellenic Artemis, the well-known Goddess of the hunt, originated from the Minoan Lady of the Beasts, Potnia Theron. The Minoans, who settled in Crete, were a peaceful civilization that followed a Goddess-centered religion. However, the early Minoan civilization...

sewingwitch:
I agree whole-heartedly with earthmagick’s stance that you don’t have to be vegetarian/vegan if you’re Pagan. True, the meat industry sucks right now. But to say you won’t eat meat becos it’s living, then go ahead and chomp away on plant life? You do realise that plants are living as well. And she made a beautiful point of saying not everyone can eat alternatively. As a...

My Beliefs, My Path, My Spiritual Journey.
So some people have been asking me what are my beliefs and what exactly is my path. As many of you know I am not Wiccan, though I was for about 7 years before my current path now. I thought about how I would go about writing this post and decided that I would start out from the beginning when I first found out about Wicca, Witchcraft, and Paganism when I was around 10 years old, to my branching...

tumblrcoven:
Thanks for all your support and commentary, and those opposed — still, thanks for sharing your opinions.
But, due to the comment made by some anon earlier saying that I should have my own tongue cut out, I’m turning off the ANON feature until a time I deem appropriate. You know, I had reservations about turning on the anon feature, but I did it anyway so that no one would feel...

ameondine asked: That was very helpful, thanks! This may be perhaps a very hard question, but I'm just curious. If you had to pick just ONE book to use for your own personal path, which would you choose?

ameondine asked: I bet you get this a lot but what books would you say every pagan/witch should have? I'm starting a list of books I want to own, or at least read, one day, so list every book you can think of, even if its a bunch. I noticed the "bookshelf" on your page but I don't know if that's all the books you'd list so I thought I'd ask.
forgottengrave asked: I love the playlist's layout. SO PRETTY! :D -Merry
forgottengrave asked: Hey, I'm sorry for following and unfollowing your blogs so often. :( I was still confused about being Pagan, but now I know not to be afraid. ^_^ I hope you understand? -Merry

Coming Out of the Broom Closet
Article written by Adrenia (c) 2012
This Article is also a part of the Pagan Blog Project.
For many of us, we weren’t raised up in a Pagan household. Instead we were raised up in other religions such as Christianity, which is a majority. Converting to whatever path you follow whether it’s Wicca or Asatru, or any other path within Neo-Paganism, every one of us faces the event in our...

The Myths & Stories Series ~ The Story of Re (Ra)
In the beginning, before there was any land of Egypt, all was darkness, and there was nothing but a great waste of water called Nun. The power of Nun was such that there arose out of the darkness a great shining egg, and this was Re.
Now Re was all-powerful, and he could take many forms. His power and the secret of it lay in his hidden name; but if he spoke other...

nymphaemeliae asked: I'm not sure if it was on this blog that I had originally seen what I am looking for, but I recall seeing an image circulating around (I think it was a scan from a book), with a tutorial diagram on making a ritual robe out of what I remember to be just a sheet. Any clue on what I'm talking about? It was what seemed to be ages ago.

Animism
Article written by Adrenia (c) 2012
This Article is also a part of the Pagan Blog Project.
Close your eyes and imagine yourself surrounded by forests, rivers, mountains, flora, and fauna. Your eyes see a boulder by the river bank in which you walk over to, your bare feet feeling the soft touch of the earth. As you sit, you take a deep breath, relax, and watch as the beauty of the Earth lives...
Anonymous asked: Do u have chants or songs for amphitrite and keto?
silasdark asked: I saw the post on Satanism. Firstly, my boyfriend is one. Whether or not the individual likes the name bc of its shock value is rather null & void if they are actually educated in what satanism is/does/etc. I wish people would educated themselves. Satanism isnt about scaring Christians. It's actually self-worship. There is no god. There is no deity.

yourstrulyerin asked: Initially, as in childhood, I was drawn to Greek god/desses; however, I'm really interested in Celtic and Nordic as of late, but there's an issue. A language barrier-esque. It's hard to keep everyone straight when I can't even pronounce their names in my head. Any advice?
