I've noticed a lot of people saying the best way to learn how to practice a pagan religion is to read. When it comes to mythology, yes, I agree.
However, when it comes to learning how to practice, I've actually found that trying to read about it is really confusing and stressful- I actually almost gave up because of that! I actually DID give up for a while. But, the pull towards the pagan path was too strong, and so I gave it another try. And I can't tell you how happy I am that I did. I'm not giving it up this time.
I found that the way I learn best is TALKING to people. Like on here. I ask questions and get answers from real people, but the best things about it is one, I get MULTIPLE opinions instead of the one the author has. And, if I'm still confused I can inquire further- you can't do that with a book. One other thing is I find I get better, more concise answers from real people- books tend to beat around the bush too much for me.
I also learn better by trying something, even if I don't know exactly what I'm doing, then seeing how it goes and going back and learning more if it goes wrong. Sometimes I find it's better to just DO it, otherwise I stress way too much.
So if you ever wonder why I post way too many questions on here, that's why xD I've joined a couple other pagan forums in the past, but they were all EXTREMELY rude and sometimes downright mean. Everyone here is so nice and knowlegeable!
So how do you learn best?
