    Answering the Questions and Questioning the Answers

    I'm re-reading my original statement and thinking, "Wait, Dayanara...why did you say that?" Was it because I'd made the mistake of reading the Pocket Guide first, when I really should've picked up A Chosen Faith, which is much more informative/mind-exercising? Was there a disconnect present...

    Pagan versus Neopagan

    In other words, there's no escaping the terminology due to the disconnect, correct? That's why you will never hear "Neochristian" and "Neojewish", because they can claim an unbroken line of practice/ritual/belief.

    Answering the Questions and Questioning the Answers

    I've read your response twice and I think you left Little Miss Novelist over here speechless. :bow: Having been born and raised a Catholic (I declared myself Pagan long before I was allowed to stop going to church), I find it amazing that on the UU side of the spectrum, Michiganians tend to...

    Profane?

    On a literal level, it sounds like human sacrifice and therefore not considered Pagan (despite what anyone might say about Druids and the wicker cage). On a symbolic level...well, did we have the first agape (love feast) or was that the followers of the Christos? Out of fifteen years of...

    Too eclectic?

    If there is a such thing as a Pagan that is "too eclectic", I'll eat my (Detroit) Tigers hat. (Just had to throw in my two cents, here.)

    Can't stand energy of Egyptian Gods

    It's interesting that you mention having this problem. I have a bust of Rhiannon sitting on my bookshelf, but have never had a problem with it/Her. Nevertheless, I've desired a statue of Isis for a while now (and finally have one picked out), so I should try to keep this in mind. Similarly, I...

    Answering the Questions and Questioning the Answers

    I'm new to UU and interested in learning more about it. I've read the Pocket Guide and just started A Chosen Faith this morning. I wanted to attend last week's CLF 8p service, but Livestream doesn't like my satellite internet or something, because the feed kept breaking up. (I'd go to my local...
