Theology and Rules in Paganism needed

Yes--there are many ways in which we all differ from one another. However--there is common ground and I see this as a cause for celebration. Something upon which we can all agree.

A place where we can unite as people and learn to apreciate each other and work together for the common good of all.

Peace and Love on the path of your choice...

Blessed be...

Thank you very much, your words are kind :)

I too have studied many religions- before I was put on the Wiccan-Pagan path, I even studied a bit of Islam and Judaism, even though I had just come from Christianity. From this study I learned, just as you said, there is common ground that we all stand upon, a Universal Truth in all religions.


That's why I chose this path- because it allows for that. Few other religions, despite their parallels, allow for their practictioners to deviate from what is "standard."

Blessed be :)

Agreed. I like the personal freedom that comes with practicing my Faith as a Solitary--but then I have always been a bit of a LoneWolf.

It was during my study of the Kabbalah that I was first introduce to the Goddess!

I enjoy learning about others and remaining open to the possibility of new ideas that might be incorporated into my practice and simply feeling and understanding the way in which other people perceive things. I like to try and put myself in the shoes of another and consider their perspective.

Peace and Love on the path of your choice...

Blessed be...
