I'm new to paganism and at times it's difficult to learn I have researched And learned and found the path I would like to fallow and researched the gods and goddesses. What's next?

Re: New to paganism what's next?
Well, what's next is really up to you. Since you've got a path that you have chosen to follow, you've got yourself a great start. I'd suggest maybe your next step would be to try to "connect" with those deities through prayer and maybe a little offering, and see where that goes.
Don't get discouraged if they don't respond right away (or even, at all) or if you realize later that you might not have chosen the right path after all. I'm pretty sure that's happened to all of us, in one form or another.

Whatever you please! I envy you being a new pagan, you have a lot of interesting and fresh experiences ahead of you. And its up to you where you go, study, experience, practice, or do nothing. All up to you.White and Red 'till I'm cold and dead.

And planted firm Britannia's flag
On Canada's fair domain.

And joined in love together,

Finding likeminded people to discuss your research and thoughts is a good next step. Exchange experiences, find out techniques used by others who follow said path...

Re: New to paganism what's next?
If you believe that you have found a belief system that you wish to follow, then I would recommend that you go ahead and practice it for a time. Try it out for a few months, and make sure that it is all that you thought it would be. This way you get a good feeling as to whether the belief system you have chosen is right for you.Originally posted by Laneshep View Post
Other than this it is important that you continue to research and find out as much as you can about the Gods and Goddesses. From what you said it sounds like you are seeking to practice Wicca, or a Wiccan-based spirituality, so learn as much as you can about your path, communicate with other Pagans and just continually seek to expand your understanding of your faith and spirituality. Joining a community of other Pagans through medians like forums like this one are also good at providing information and a place to talk about our faiths. :=):
Welcome to the community though, and welcome to the forum as I see this is your first post. :^^:Comment
