I feel the same way for the most part, though rituals are an important part of my practice and my only God is the holy and divine Universe/Nature. I tell people that I am a non denominational Pagan because my practices and beliefs are very diverse and complicated and I am still trying to work them all out in my mind and I am also in the closet to a degree. Some, I suppose, would look at me and say that since I dont believe in the many Gods or Goddesses I am not Pagan but to me the core of being Pagan is worship or at least respect of the Earth and recognixing that all life is interconnected, thats me. Nice!

It is always good to see a fellow traveller on an individualist spiritual path. I sometimes browse the internet hoping to find a niche or label for my beliefs, but never find one. Tonight's browsing has led me to your Grove and it is reassuring to know there are those out there who are just happy to tread their own path. Wassail, M.

What really struck a chord for me was your independence and unwillingness to label yourself to fit within someone else's religious framework. I, too, have found that while I call myself pagan, and a witch, I don't really fit the "wiccan" label, and wouldn't want to anyway. What I spiritually practice and how I practice it, is up to me and only me. I may do things differently, or maybe not, but I'm not willing to constrict or limit myself in order to fit a label or box or someone else's idea. Alot of people don't get that. Anyway, I like that way you think! Smoochies, ~TC Hey…*grinwavies*
