First of all my name is Echo. I've been identifying with the pagan path for about four years now, at first with Wicca and then gradually more general. I was raised as a Christian but not too hardcore. My path doesn't have a specific name that I'm aware of.
As far as rituals go I am solitary, and don't usually do formal "spellwork". If I do it's using stuff I put together myself.
For the most part I rely on crystals and basic energy. I'm familiar with spirits and believe in their existence and would like to learn mediumship, however at this time I'm not very experienced with it due to an old fear of "evil" spirits. I also have a bit of a Reiki attunement, and my intuition is fairly sharp. As a general basis it usually picks up more "trivial" things like I'll be craving Mexican food and then have it offered as dinner without me mentioning the craving. It happens fairly often so it's become a normal thing. I also believe in dragons a guides and spirits, however I haven't worked with them recently. I'd like to get back to a more spiritual way of life since it always seems to improve my quality of life when I do. At this time I meditate quite a bit, for relaxation and in attempt to astral project. I haven't had much success with the latter and haven't been able to get into a deeper relaxation state due to a recent health issue.
Originally I was raised around the deep forests of North-central Washington state, so I've become quite attuned to the earth/forest element in addition to air. More recently I've had an upturn in luck with caring for plants. My opinion of deities is mixed: I'm not opposed to the belief in a God as Christians know him, nor opposed to a Goddess or God as Wiccans and other pagans know. I also am not opposed to the collection of other religions. I don't, however, have any of them as my subject of worship or devotion. I believe in a "Source", a collective spiritual entity of beings who may or may not have at one point had a living body. Most of my beliefs are similar to tribal and Native American culture, with animism and natural spirits. That's a basic overview of it, if you have any questions please ask. I don't discuss my beliefs incredibly often so sometimes I forget to mention things.
Welcome echo, it sounds like we have a few beliefs in common it'll be interesting to speak to you. throw your self into the community and i hope you enjoy your time here.
It got me really interested in all religion and I have studied whatever religious material I can get my hands on. I also think it makes me more accepting of people being different.
