Pan= All. En= in. The= God.
All in God.
En just means in. All Pagans have been known to use entheogens. I don't think there is one Pagan culture that hasn't or doesn't...

Does the 'en' refer to 'entheogen'?

I cannot really define my spirituality ha. I believe in so many different things, i def believe in spirits, evil and good, and idk alot of other things. i cant really explain it, spirit animals, i use a pendulum to communicate with the dead, spirit guides, past incarnations, all that stuff. rituals for good luck, fortune, im a fixed scorpio as well.
sorry i couldnt be clearer, anyone wants my to elaborate i will. thanks !

You're obviously misinformed on the topic. Paganism is an umbrella term for religions AND/OR religious type based beliefs that are not based on Abraham religions such as Christianity. Pagans are more accepting of its branches of various religions than that of your Abraham religions which try to belittle each other and point fingers and say the other is wrong. Yes, pagans have contradictory beliefs but we don't typically argue about it and say I'm right and you're wrong like your Abraham religions. That said, the eclectic pagans don't really contradict themselves. Polytheistic pantheists are a contradiction but that's another story, you rarely hear of a polytheist pantheist. Anywho, your sarcastic ass childish bull shit comments aren't welcome.
Do some research. Above the ignorance, duh.

...wow Sorry man....was just linking some words nicely together in close realisation of what i really think about myself and my thoughts personally........as im on a forum that welcomes the more random and odd of thoughts/conceptions etc i didnt expect to get a backlash off someone that to me looks like your more focused on what you want to escape more then what you want to learn....
your quote " Pagans are more accepting of its branches of various religions than that of your Abraham religions which try to belittle each other and point fingers and say the other is wrong"
to me it sounds like your presuming about me and relating it to yourself man. I said nothing even remotely where i likened anything to abraham or any other symbols people choose that makes it easier for them to realise a slight sense of the extraordinary other then the strangeness of the place we do all live in!!!
by polypant, what i ment,..is i believe there could be many forms of different gods to people around the world..this is a given..i was thinking that i sometimes ponder if all these religions/followings/idea's dont all just manifest themselves basically in the same way but in different forms due to cultural tendancies!!!!!... therefore making them the same... i think all these stories or fabels and morals are basically the same message instinctively programmed into our mind/psyche etc but being broadcast with the same intention to a different audience!!!
some people love shiva..some love jesus,buddha, and allah,odin or the Dagda etc.....many more could be added.. at the end of the day the most crucial parts in any of the texts that you can read and ponder are the most basic...dont rob shit...dont kill someone..be nice to your neighbors and community etc....
then theres a huge gap to fill up the space through living to what you see as being good or not...
Sorry man didnt mean to rant too much but think you might have picked me up the wrong way!!!!

I did and I apologize, I had that guy give two sarcastic remarks in the last page and I felt like if I didn't stop it then it'd become a trend. I also expected some random crock pot screaming hear say so ive been eager to defend this thread for that reason. lol. Again, I apologize.

haha no probems man, totally understand... have similar moods meself!!!
like that though.... dont be too eager to defend something as simple as this thread in such an emotional way so quickly!!!!....unless your a bazzerka warrior!!!!...otherwise there seems no need to be so harsh so quick haha.... Im not getting at ya either dude 
I know what i like and think, .......and i think i know what other people like to think they think but they think and think they like...(or at least i like to think that i have an eye for certain things!!! )...think to much??(retorical question!!!!)
if people were allowed to accept what we call the psychedelic experience into they're yearly calander the same as any holiday then i reckon we'd live in a different world. Seasons have different draws for me persaonally..this season we'll go to a few different stone circles and throw our personal beliefs at it!!!! and feel ecstatic and reborn and alive on the land........for the 21st of dec were going to go to Slieve na Calliagh..but then again thats the more shamanistic side of me talking haha... i truly feel more energy in my trips in places like this...
I dont know if its the fact that i know these places were built for and used for tracking cosmic alignments or the fact that i know thousands of years ago people(so called primitive) used to congregate here for fire sessions and do what ever they did.... theres one place called drombeg that i had my strongest trip on mushrooms....surpassed many dmt trips....this place was alive and speaking to me.....Nature knows Best!!!

Yeah man i always find myself lucky for being so near to these places but also, so much of the time that i spend away from it and craving it that it seems illogical!!!! we'd all like to try a session for the next waxing moon(as a symbol) in a great place....but the times we do get together are moslty random and what i would imagine work the best overall because it takes us all in on different levels !!!!...
I truly love this place..........sorry for spamming the thread with these pics but...ive experienced all in this circle....light/dark...sarcastic/benevolent...happy/sad...you name it hehe....cures all man...for me anyhow hehe!!!

when you really get down to it, its not about what we really call ourselves, is it? its our actions that define who we are to others, and i believe it is out duty fulfill the goals set forth by our eternal soul. The body is just a vessel, if you will, to carry our ssouls on our eternal journey. I believe every soul has a purpose, and regardless of religion and/or beliefs, we, as manifestations of our soul, need to make a difference, an impact.. we need to fulfill our soul's destiny.
But to each their own, thats just my thoughts.

Yeah and it blows for us, haha. You on the east or west of NC?
Simple, Those pics are beautiful, man. Keep em coming. Anything pagan based is welcome for discussion or brags, especially the history of anything Pagan!
TheDude, your thoughts are good. Regardless, it is always good to interact with like minded people.
