Pagans/Wiccans/Other

[David]

I seek a balanced cosmos, the harmony of the Tao. However, I also worship the Babylonian sun god, Marduk, & adhere to the revenge code of Hammurabi: "An eye for an eye, & a tooth for a tooth."

Therefore, I call myself an animistic, divine Ishtarite with Taoist leanings.

I outed myself as a Druid over in the "Do you think it's over" thread on the Rumours forum .

He's "part hippie" and loves hanging out and having a good time and partying, but you don't want to piss him off.

I'm a very recent "convert" after being raised in a very Christian environment I was already an agnostic by the time I was 18 leaning toward atheism at times then while hiking in some of the spectacular forests around here I had a kind of spiritual awakening that was pretty transcendent and have had others since then .I'd have to call it nothing short of an epihany really.I've always been a granola chomping tree hugging type but now I hug the trees in a more literal way.

Well David I see your a hippie, i'm pretty hippie-ish myself!
Good for the epiphany! I was raised as a Pentecostal then converted to Catholicism when 17 after the death of my adopted mom but at the same time was interested in Wicca and went back and forth for years. Finally after joining the Marines while in Japan I decided to practice Wicca. You feel closer to the animals and nature and you know that they hurt and deserve to be more respected. Plus my mother also practices so I have someone who understands me, she's been practicing since before I was born.

I actually was moved into a " Jesus freak" commune here in Cal. when I was a kid by my parents .They were mostly hippies but not the cool stoned free love kind, more like Jim Jones and co.or the ones that accosted Jeremy Spencer in LA..I think that turned me off to organized religion and I think I went too far the other way avoiding all things spirtual then in my late teens I tentatively begin to explore paganism but it wasn't until the last year or so that I realized that it is what I have always been.
