Mythology and Paganism
A big thank you to Allyson and Aquila ka Hecate for taking the time to respond to my questions about Paganism.
I’d still like loads more input, so if you are up for it, it would be great if you could respond either on your blog or in the comments section

Finding my spiritual path is not easy. What I know, or think I know, about the imminent and transcendent, is always a major influence on my thinking, but somehow I need to loosen my grip on my subjective projections onto everything, and try to elevate my thoughts and experiences to a different level.

Questions for Pagans
Ever since I was a teenager (I’m hitting 33 now), when I began thinking about religion, I was also very much entranced by nature, but I never really made the connection. Eventually I became a Christian.

I became a Christian around the age of twenty-one. My life before Jesus was not unlike many other Christians-to-be, whose testimonies you might of heard. I was very much a sinner. I cared about others, but I also placed my needs and desires above everyone else.

A Myth, as Joseph Campbell understood it, is a symbolic communicator, that attempts to translate the universal mystery of existence, that cannot be consciously understood . A Mythology is like a series of sign posts, that direct us through this cosmic mystery, which is also the mystery of […]
