    Any other Christo-Pagans?

    or, I should say, those who balance their Christian / Catholic backgrounds with their eclectic beliefs? I always felt close to Jesus and Angels, especially Raphael the Healer, however, I always believed in faeries {especially due to being raised in a traditional Irish family}, but ever since teen years I had a strong interest and belief in reincarnation and Buddha's philosophy; as I grew older, these beliefs grew to influence from Taoism and Shinto, in particular. And I went through a brief phase of really getting into Norse Paganism and Wicca. - While I don't feel any connection to Wicca anymore, and I follow the Christian belief of not worshiping other gods, I still feel a friendship with Loki and his wife Sigyn, with my closest-to-heart influences being Eastern philosophies and beliefs. It can be difficult for me, at times - most of the time - since my family are either lapsed Catholics, or overly devout Catholics - I respect that for them, but it hurts to hear it often that I am "going to hell" for being different. On the other side of the fence, I'm not sure I'm entirely accepted by pagans either, so it's like sitting on a fence and not being able to join in with either party. It feels like being a lone wolf, but I can't be the only one who is an eclectic oddball, could I?

    We have slightly quirky (by which I mean that one would be considered a flat out heretic by most) Christians floating around off and on but I don't know that we have any that currently ID as (or that I think of as) Christo-pagans. I'm moderately surprised by that actually. I can definitively say that we've had followers of the Aztec pantheon but I'm drawing a blank on Christo-pagans...
    life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

    Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

    "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

    John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

    "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

      I guess the first one you mentioned is what I mean. I identify as non-denominational spiritual Christian {think of Doreen Virtue}, but I've seen those who refer to it as "Christo-Pagan" . . . I mean, I know Christians even acknowledge thoughtforms/egregores, but I also believe in reincarnation, for example. *shrugs* Guess I am the odd man out! Hehe 😅😅😅

        We have, in the distant past, at varying times had an occasional Christian-Pagan hybrid, but none recently.
