To me the holy grail is imporatnt as a "pagan"...does that make strange?

What is the grail?

Is it relevant to a pagan in any way?

The Holy Grail....... the Holy Grail has a similar symbolism as the Chalice... both give "eternal life" - in paganism the chalice is the symbol of the womb, the bringer of life... in Christianity the Grail is the symbol of eternal life... same difference lol

So in a roundabout way, yes it is relevant to paganism

And Celtic myth speaks of a "Cauldron of the Dagda" (one of the sacred items brought to mankind by the Tuatha de Danann) from which no company would go away unsatisfied, and the "Chalice of Regeneration" (possibly a later version of this myth) in which all wounds would be healed and eternal life would be given. In Wicca both are associated with the Chalice used in ceremony, which as a symbol of the womb is a feminine tool (as explained above by Azhria), with the element Water and Western Quarter, and, in a roundabout way, the Christian Holy Grail.

Temporal cup. Eternal ambrosia. Pagan, yet not without relevance to Christianity.
