    Opinion You're not an actual pagan

    "Pagan" originally meant "foreigner" or "from the country", and then later became associated with religion, just to clarify. Pagans do not have to follow multiple gods. There are all shades, flavors, types, and colorings of Pagans. Kemetics, Asatru, eclectic, Reconstructionist, henotheists...

    Opinion [Please ignore]

    Two wrongs don't make a right. It'd be doing the same thing. That's like saying, "Hey, let's make a thread about all the stereotypes about X race, and it's okay if we balance it out with another about Y race."

    Chitchat Have You Ever Sleepwalked Before?

    I haven't, but my mother used to when she was excessively stressed out by her job and our home life, and she wasn't getting much sleep. I'd wake her up in the den to get her to go to bed (she'd nod off in front of the TV), and she'd have her eyes open, could stand up and walk, and would talk in...

    Opinion [Religion] Where my pagans at?

    Ah, so it's not a specific event, but an aspect thing. Me, I only call on Hermes Chthonius in times of grief or, well. When I've had loved ones who are dying. That was why I asked.

    Opinion [Religion] Where my pagans at?

    Yeah, I know who that deity is. ^_^ I don't know that aspect as well as Hermes himself (I mean, as much as one can know a deity). So, I can't offer any advice, but I can tell you what you offer Hermes Chthonius (Hermes in his psychopomp form) -- which is garlic and figs. Pretty much a Greek...

    Chitchat Weird Experiences-

    I had poltergeist stuff happen around me when I was hitting puberty-- as it will in an extremely stressful (to put it lightly) household during that time. My parents reported hearing footsteps in the house when only one person was there. Voices under the bed. Toilets flushed on their own...

    Opinion Are You Religious? (Discussion about religion because why not!)

    @TheRockInception Hey. Psssst. Unless you've made a good, thorough study of ancient pagan religions and their social context, please don't fall into the ages-old trap of thinking Christianity was the only path preaching for people to be good and kind to others. That's a myth perpet :angelD:
