I saw a thread on here titled "Are you a Christian", so I decided to make one asking if you're a Pagan.

How many Pagans are on this site?

There used to be one posting when I first joined - can't remember his tag, but think he was an aussie - but got booted off for posting the most hilariously offensive diatribe I've seen here.

SexyTech is Pagan. He doesnt post much anymore, though. I believe we have a few Wiccan members too, although they also dont post very often

I am not a pagan.

I'm a heathen. Does that count??

Thats depends...are you involved in witchcraft? Pagans are different than heathens. Namenotfound will explain it to you, if you'd like.

According to The Merriam-Webster Dictionary.....

Pagan: n Civilian, country dweller; Heathen

I am a civilian.... I live in a country dwelling.... I am NOT a Heathen!!! I am also not a Hillbilly!!!

Am I still a Pagan using this definition? Or just a partial Pagan that is NOT a Heathen?

actually, I believe the thread starter may have been referring to a different kind of paganism. Here is one page devoted to explaining what it is:

http://www.outofthedark.com/

It is a belief system involving goddesses & witchcraft. I think it is closely tied to the Wiccan belief system, but there are many different branches of it. Ben is Pagan and referred to a book of shadows that each Pagan owns that is supposed to be kept confidential. It contains spells, rituals, poems and things like that.

I wont give my personal opinions on it since I havent been invited to do so...but I thought i'd add the description for informative purposes. Namenotfound can correct me if I am mistaken.

Ahhh, man...I wish I could have seen it.

Paganism is an Earth-based religion. Wicca is a form of Paganism (i.e. a Wiccan is a Pagan, but a Pagan isn't necessarily a Wiccan). There is also a balance between God and Goddess (Christians apparently don't think woman are worthy enough to be woreshipped).

That pretty much sums it up in a quick and easy explanation.

Thank you for that explanation!

I am definitely NOT a Pagan!

I have however been called a Goddess by some!
