Allrighty I've coined a new term for discussing my religious beliefs.
and from this point out this is what I am going to tell them.
"Paulism"
What is that?
Universalist Eclectic Neo-Paganism by way of the "Paulist" Path.
What is "PAULISM"? You might be wondering...
where here is a Brief Overview by the Church of Paul: (I.E. ME!)
Neo-Pagan - Universalist.
By way of the "PAULISM" Path.
Basicly Universalist-Eclectic, no formal training with a Tradition.
I study a little bit of everything.
Jack of all Trades but a Master of none.
A little bit of new-age philosophy
General Occultism
Mysticism
Gnosticism
a little about the kabblah not much though.. probably more so "Fluffy" Kaballah..as its just information i've gathered from New-Age Publications
General Pagan Information
Outer-Court Wicca 101 style Information
A little Eastern Philosophy, I have a copy of the Bhagavad Gita around my house somewhere.
Student of Yeshua/Jesus and his teachings and philosophy..be it from Gnostic sources, mystical/esoteric sources..or mainstream Christian sources.
Practice Magick and Witchcraft ---
as far as actual "witchcraft goes" ..I do a little spell craft not much though....mostly what i do..is ritual magick..from outer-court wicca info...the casting of circle, elementals, envoking the gods, ect.
The reason I do not do much spellcraft..is because...I do not feel a need at this point in my life to effect change in my life..I am a pretty content person..and I do not need to use mundane nor magickal means to change my surroundings..I'm pretty content..and easy to please.
I have interest to study a founded Pagan Tradition at some point..to either practice...or to obtain more knowledge...or a little bit of both..its just finding a pagan religion and tradition within that religion I feel comfortable with.
Currently I have too many interests, I like Wicca (at least what I know of it) I've brushed up on pretty much the basic tenets of Asatru, Kemtics, celtic Recon, and Hellenism as well.
and I guess my problem why I cant just pick one...is the natural eclectic in me..I feel it very valuable to learn from many sources.....I'm a Perpetual seeker.
I like to soak up all the knowledge and philosophy and principles that I can...
so its hard for me to really set down and concentrate on one area of study at a time...I'm constantly all over the place.
I've even been known to study and appreciate a Good Atheistic Argument from time to time.
so *Shrugs* I dunno. I am just weird I guess.
