Re: the original question

Well, when I was a Wiccan, my main religious activity was consulting the tarot; candles and magic never stuck to me. When I became a Christian I never stopped using it, as Christians can use it, including the people who invented the blessed thing.... I changed slightly in that I decreased a lot how much I use the Goddess oracle and instead kinda mainstreamed into using a Rider-Waite derivative (a cartoon version called the Ator Tarot).

.... I mean, when I was a pagan, I wanted everything to be pagan; every day had to be May Day. That was my choice, of course. Now I can choose to be influenced by the Tao Te Ching, JS Bach, the gospel. But what is more "pagan"-y, that works, well, you judge it by its fruit, right. But even when I was a Wiccan, I never really wanted to do lots of ritual just to be 'more' pagan.

So there's a lot more to something than the label, is it Pagan or Christian, as though you could reduce everything to that.
