Heyyyy there.
So, I am new to this journey into paganism and I am trying to decipher which path resonates best with me. I am doing a lot of research an am currently reading "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Wicca and Witchcraft" (although I don't know if I'll end up fitting under either of those categories, I am just trying to get a feel for things and absorbing as much information as I can.)
The book talks about how you shouldn't mix and match gods from different pantheons and then lists gods and goddesses from different parts of world, and lumping all sorts of celtic deities together. Isn't that sort of a contradiction?
I have been roaming the internet looking for more of these celtic deities and what I'm finding is that a lot of the celts worshipped local gods that personified issues that were important to maybe only a small group of people? The book lists Cernunnos along with Ceridwen and a quick glance at Wikipedia says the former is Gaulish and the latter is Welsh??
So does that mean that if I want to work with Ceridwen I can only worship other welsh deities? Is this book full of poo? HELP.
