Hey, fellows.
I'd like to dedicate this thread to fellow Pagans and the discussion of Paganism and NeoPaganism including its many branches, it's history, future and present. I'd also like to discuss your personal philosophies from polytheism, shamanism, pantheism, animism and your personal beliefs, traditions, celebrations, deities and lifestyle. Only mature posters welcome.
Of course there's a smart ass in every group. ;P
Oh and be sure to answer the poll! I've made it so that the answers to the second question can all be answered or just one or two or three, whatever you choose.

I messed up and had to go back and when I did I forgot I add the multiple answer thin to the second question so if you want to choose more than one then just select other and tell us what you chose.
I chose other for pantheism, animism and shamanism.

Pagan and polytheist. My meditations are pantheist. I could not get into any spiritual practice for many years. Nothing really captivated my interest. Odinism is my main enthusiasm. Now I'm learning devotional prayers, these are fun and bring the occasional sense of connection.

I understand what you're saying and there is nothing wrong with eclectic Pagans unless there is a contradiction in creed or something OR if they're just selecting the label Pagan blah blah just so that they can form their own religion to adhere to which is kinda stupid to me.

Not sure what the official label would be, but I believe in a Hunab Ku like interpretation of "God". And we are all just subunits of this greater whole, like cells in a body. Incidentally, I was a devout atheist until my first and very profound experience with mushrooms.

Agnostics just can't decide what to believe and atheism is just an excuse to not think about spiritual shit in most cases however not all. I considered myself atheist until I realized what pantheism is and that is part of what I really believed and then I read about paganism and it all matches up with the exception of polytheism although I'm interested in it. Don't think it's for me though.
And Celldude, that sounds a lot like pantheism. Check it out!

Sweet! I just did some research into pantheism based on your recommendation. I will definitely look into it more leading into my next mushroom session Friday. Thank you.

Any time, man. My LSD trips is what gave me insight into pantheism being reality and many LSD trips later after have confirmed that foundational belief along with my animism and shamanism beliefs. Although shamanism has been the least confirmed in my trips, I've always had the sense that if I had the skills necessary that shamanism is an trainable feat. Especially with all anthropological evidence in animism and shamanism.

I marked pantheism but I guess I would fall more under shamanistic pantheist if there is such a thing 
I think spirituality is a very important part of the human experience and I feel that most of the mainstream religions rob people of their true spiritual nature. I grew up Christian and didn't even know what spirituality was until I finally broke free of the christian shackles in my late 20s

Does the 'en' refer to 'entheogen'?
