Hi! I'm new, I joined because I really liked the look of the forum, even though I'm not quite sure where I would fall in the DIR forums. Let's see, about me...
I consider myself agnostic about the existence of any deity** (depending on the definition of the word.) From age 7-19 I was an active member of the Lutheran church (ELCA) I still help out now and then. I attended two Christian schools (Baptist in middle school and Mennonite in high school) and considered myself "saved" from age 12 until about 18. Unfortunately for my beliefs in Christianity, I read too much and ask too many questions, and am far too interested in history.
I grew up in a multigenerational home, where I still live. My family has always practiced magic of one sort or another, depending who you're talking to (for example I grew up using a verse in Ezekiel to stop my many nosebleeds) and kept to the old fairy faith, which is probably the closest thing to a 'religion' I have. Just so I don't misrepresent myself, not Feri Wicca or the Neopagan tradition. While I studied paganism in depth in college and after, it was pretty much reconstructionism I looked at, but that pesky agnosticism kept me from going that route. I know nothing about Feri Wicca, or the pagan Faerie Faith.
** I do believe in figures like Áine, Clíodhna, Finvarra, etc. This is partially why I was drawn to reconstruction, however, I am unsure whether to consider them gods or not. For me, it raises all sorts of questions like how do you define a 'god.'
Anyway, I've talked on far too long, and if you read all that, I'm shocked, so thank you, and I'll go hide in a corner now. :run:
