This
is a area to help newcomers to all forms of paganism
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There
are many forms of paganism ranging from several forms of wicca,
dracomancer, druids and vampires. We all believe in nature, but in different
forms.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wicca beleives follows the Rede which is pretty much do not do harm onto others.
Alot of wiccans also believe in the rule of 3, which is if you do harm to
someone
it will come back onto you in fold times 3.
Dracomancers believe that dragons do exist and they use them for and in the magic.
Druids believe that spirits possess trees and tree are sacred.
The
majority of pagan religions marry by a ceremony called handfasting.
Vampires marry by wedding. Also the majority of followers of pagan religions
keep and record in a book called the Book of Shadows. It holds spells, herbs,
prayers, ceremonies, recipes and alot more. The majority of pagans make there
own Book of Shadows.
Spells
are an important part of most pagan paths. It is always best to write your
own
and put all your heart and soul into them. Always record the spell just for
your use.
There are christians pagans that do believe in Jesus and God along with doing magic.
The
majority of pagans believe in the Goddess. We also believe in celebrating
Yule
instead of Christmas.
The
poplar misconception of all pagans are that we all dance around in the woods
Skyclad( in the nude) this is not true. It is true that the majority of pagans
do
participate in rituals and or cermonies, this is especially true at certain
times of the
year at certain moon phases. There are also solitary pagans that practice
by themselves.
We do not have to belong to a group or coven.
