Hello everyone,
I am a 16 year old "seeker" from Greece, looking for advise on religious matters. I grew, and still growing in a Christian Orthodox family, as the majority of Greek people.
The first time I encountered another form of religion was 2 years ago... that being spiritual satanism, and I was fascinated by the evil side of the whole story (as most rebellious teens of my age would... obviously I was 14 at the time). Then I started exploring other forms of satanism such as the LaVeyan version, which after a couple of months I saw that it was too much for me. A couple of months later I dropped Satanism, as I realized that it was just a reaction to Christianity, which I considered untrue... it just wouldn't work for me, as I never felt Jesus would be there for me. So I had spent 1 year trying to figure out which of these two would be best for me (satanism or christianity).
Later on, after I came across some information considering the Wiccan path, which I didn't like either, I stumbled upon a paganism site, talking about all the pagan paths there are! Asatru, Sorcery, Wicca, Druidry, Kemeticism, Hellenic Recon, Celtic Recon etc.
I always felt close to nature in some weird way, so I found these to be the ideal way of life for me. And even though im Greek, I was feeling a strong connection to Norse paganism, the Asatru path that is...but still, after all this research i've done on the matter, i can't feel a true bond between me and the Norse gods. Now here I am, at the 16th year of my life, searching for a pagan path help.
In addition: 1 question:
1. I also feel a strong connection to Chaos Magic (for many reasons which I'm not going to explain now), and I was wandering if I can combine chaos magic with the pagan path I'll choose
P.S. I hope my english wasn't that bad, and my story is comprehensible
Thanks in advance,
Pete
