Do you practice any religions or faiths?

[Hu96ie]

I was born and raised a Christian, but I soon abandoned that religion. For a long time, I remained faithful to the psychological interpretation of magic (it's all in our heads), but something didn't add up.
In my mind, it wasn't possible that we "humans" were the only sentient beings in the entire universe and that everything depended on our minds—or, more precisely, my mind.
A few years ago, I was enlightened by a simple and basic concept, but it popped into my head at just the right time: listen to the spirits (I think I read it on a blog by Frather Acher).
Since then, I've followed the calls, intuitions, and synchronicities, and everything seems to be working exactly as it should.
I'd like to be part of a faith, a lineage, or a movement, but in my opinion, these are human and mental constraints on something that is neither human nor mental.
Now I just think I have to find my way to meet, converse and honor these "other" entities that live around me, perhaps in different planes of existence or frequencies.

You are Powerful enough as it is. Remember, that you are God. I recommend not to give your Power away to any other entities. You are your own God. Take it or leave it. Your choice.

I was raised Christian but left. Looked into Buddhism but wasn't for me. I've tried being a pagan, a Heathen, and a Satanist.

I've learned from these religions, but I can't seem to fit in entirety with a single tradition. I'm a lot happier beimg a freelance occultist and doing my own thing in private.

What about the rest of you?

I was also raised Christian but I became disenchanted by many of their beliefs, like burning books and speaking in tongues, so I picked up a few Circle Network Newspapers and found an advertisement for" Green Egg Magazine", and I decided I'd try Neo-Paganism, and I did a cartoon for them. The first step was to read "Stranger in a Strange Land" which somewhat influenced a "New" religion created around that Sci Fi book. It lets its members believe or not believe in gods, or dogmas. Most of the members are Wiccan, but there's also Gaia. But there's belief in the gods or belief in a strict dogma you have to believe in. But somethings were badly in need of changing, so I "helped" those changes along. A Priesthood that wanted a cozy, but small church instead of an international one, a priestess that came up with a conflict resolution procedure, but decided not to use her own creation when she tried to ruin 2 Scions (I am one of them!) They hadn't read some of the things in SISL they should have which became my defense which resulted in some major changes. One was the creation of the church in another country, how to release secrets that had to be revealed without it sounding like bragging, a fast track to priesthood for one young lady and her husband, ministers, an ombudsman, etc. Most would consider it to be moon-battery, but it wasn't as totalitarian as even Wicca can be at times. There are 3 churches that come out of Sci Fi: CAW, Scientology and the Jedis.
