[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi! I'm not pagan or Wiccan, but I LOVE their practices and count many among my friends.

I belong to one of the "mainstream" religions but I've actually always been attracted to the following gods:
- Loki
- Odin
- Hecate
- Brigid
- The Morrigan
- Sekhmet

I know a lot of people who are devotees of these gods and I enjoy talking to them about their experiences. I'm also

Most of the Wiccan girls I know [b]strongly[/b] prefer solitary practice. They say there's way too much coven drama. I've witnessed some of the coven drama and let me tell you, NOT FUN.[/quote]

So people believe these entities exist?  [/quote]

Yes, emphatically so. And why shouldn't they? Hindus believe Shiva and Vishnu exist. Plus, is believing in miraculous Virgin conception somehow less supernatural and strange than believing in Loki, Trickster and Breaker of Worlds?

Some pagans try to hand-wave the gods by saying they just think of the gods as "symbols" or "representative of the forces of nature" and while I disagree with them, it's fine for them to take that view.

Plenty of mystic pagans have direct, personal relationships with polytheistic pantheons - Egyptian, Celtic, Norse, Sumerian, you name it - based on the assumption that these entities actually exist.[/quote]

I don't believe . . . period.

A virgin birth, for example - whether it stems from a Christian or pagan belief system - is ridiculous to me.

I suppose it's not up to me to judge, but I can't help myself.  With all that we know based on scientific research, how can Hecate or Loki be real? and why revere a god like Loki, who was never to be trusted?

I don't get it.[/quote]
