    Dropping the Label Pagan

    My religion is kind of the point where Kemetic ends and Pagan begins. It's based on the Isis Mystery Religion practiced in the Greco-Roman era in Egypt and elsewhere in the Roman Empire (there was even a Temple of Isis in Pompeii, and historical and archaeological references to temples of Isis...

    Religious Texts

    I own copies of the Bible, Qur'an, Bhagavad Gita, Rig Veda and the Analects of Confucius. I've also read the LDS scriptures (Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price and Doctrine and Covenants). My religion doesn't have scriptures, but there is a lot of valuable teaching to be found in the various...

    Would you describe your religion/spirituality as a faith?

    For the most part, I don't consider my religion to be faith-based, it's based mainly on religious experiences I've had.

    What are the attributes of your Lord, that make you love and believe in Him.

    I also don't see Isis as a "lord" or "master", I see Her as an Ally. Basically it is a reciprocal relationship. We worship the gods and they in exchange help us with things. We need them, and they need us.

    Pagan Practices

    My regular spiritual practices involve mostly meditation and divination. I meditate on a small Isis statue I have on my desk, sometimes with incense and sometimes without. Divination is with tarot cards, and a divination tool called the "Sacred Scarabs Oracle" which is based on Runes, only...

    What is your meditation practice like?

    I combine prayer and meditation. To me, prayer does not mean asking God for things, but communion with the divine. Prayer and meditation are, for me, inseparable.

    What wine should I offer to Egyptian Gods?

    Almost all funerary inscriptions mention offerings of beer.

    True Religion?

    I also do not believe there is any one religion that is the only truth, to the exclusion of all others. As my sig says, God/goddess manifests itself in many different forms and is worshipped under many different names. Personally, I am drawn to isis, especially in Her Greco-Egyptian form, as...

    The resurrection: what is your religion's viewpoint?

    I personally believe "resurrection" refers to the afterlife, or the eternal state, when a person reaches the final goal (what other religions variously call salvation, nirvana, enlightenment, etc). My religion has a resurrection myth (Osiris), but I don't believe Isis actually restored Osiris'...

    Spiritual Experiences in various religions

    The fact that I have had these kinds of experiences in several religions has led me to the conclusion that all of them are valid paths, since I was able to commune with the divine in all of them. Arguing over which religion is the One True Faith is like arguing over whether Spanish, French or...

    Pics of Your Religion!

    I made both of these pics myself. The first one is Isis and the baby Horus: And this one is the Greco-Egyptian Isis:

    How does religion influence your morality?

    My religious beliefs are influenced in part by my morality, not the other way around. My religious affiliation has changed a few times, but my morality has remained the same thru all of them, so, no, religion does not appear to be a factor.

    How does religion influence your morality?

    I saw a comic strip once where the Pope, a Rabbi and an Islamic Mullah had just died and were on their way to the Judgment. One of them (I forget which one) says "Now here's where we find out which one of us was right". Then they enter the judgment hall and waiting there to greet them are...

    Spiritual Experiences in various religions

    Over the course of my life I've been several different religions, and I have had religious or spiritual experiences in all of them. People have told me that I seem to be a very spiritually-attuned person (not sure exactly what that means, tho).

    Do you have spiritual experiences that support your beliefs?

    I have them occasionally. Just a few minutes ago, I dozed off a bit and had a dream where Isis appeared and answered a question that has been troubling me for a couple weeks.

    Pagan Clergy

    What a lot of Pagan priests do so they can perform marriages legally is, after they get trained and ordained as a priest in their tradition, they go to somewhere like Universal Life Church to get a free online ordination which gives them legally recognised clergy status, and the right to perform...

    Your username

    OK, I just got mine changed. Over the past few months I've been drifting back into the Isian religion that I followed when I was younger, so I've changed mine to reflect that. "Setepenaset" is Egyptian for "Chosen by Isis".
