I'm Wondering If Anyone Can Help? |

Okey dokey, so all you lovely guys out there, after reading my intro, all know that I'm new to Paganism and I have no idea what direction I'm going. I was wondering if any of you guys could give me some of your thoughts on some books or websites that might explain the different paths and their beliefs. I don't even know half of the different paths and I want to know if there may be a few out there that might be along my line of thinking. I've currently ordered Pagan Paths, by Pete Jennings so I'm hoping that it might give me some ideas.
If you don't mind me asking, are there many paths out there that believe in creationism? I myself am a creationist believer. In my own opinion, the big bang and evolution may have happened but, to me, the matter that created the big bang and start evolution has to have come from somewhere and it can not have created itself. (I mean no disrespect to anyone. Those are just my beliefs and everyone else is free to believe what they wish )
Thank you all in advance for your help.

Already Feeling A Bit... Lost |

So Ive read the book Pagan Paths, theres a lot of interesting things in there but nothing that jumps out to me and shouts HAI. I have a list now of other lovely books to read, but was wondering if theres anything else that I can do to help myself find my path? For example, those who have personal deities, how did you find them or how did they find you? Is the world tree/tree of life important in any particular path, as Im very drawn to the idea.. Im trying to not over think matters but I do feel that if I dont ponder on the subject then I will just wander along doing the same old nothingness Ive been doing for years..  Im trying to place things I feel drawn to down in a way that will make sense.

A Few Pointers |

Hi, Im new, you might be able to gather that Ive been checking out a lot of links on here already but there seems to be SO much choice involved. I know one thing, Im not interested in casting spells, magic or dressing up. Are there any particular paths that will rule out? Save me researching them and realising it all involves spells and magic when I could be researching something I would enjoy instead? Im unsure really what Im asking, Im completely new to this all and dont know where I belong. Thanks

New And A Little Overwhelmed |

Hi there, I have just joined and must say this looks like a great place! Hopefully I'll learn a lot and won't feel so confused by the end of it.
I have copied some of this from my profile so that you can gather a little about me...
I was brought up as a Christian (Church of England) but never really believed in any of it's principles, and so could never follow it wholeheartedly.
I have always been interested in magic, tarot, healing and crystals, the afterlife, spirits etc and seem to have a 'sixth sense' where other people are concerned. My Grandfather passed away 10 years ago this year, and several years ago he appeared to me in the family garden at a birthday party... my christian religion would not believe or accept this.
I love nature and being at one with it, leave me sitting alone in my garden with my plants and I am happy.
I recently met someone who is a Pagan Witch (though not Wiccan) she calls herself a Herbalism mainly, but she is also a psychic medium and is extremely good at reading tarot, so we got talking and I found myself being more and more drawn in.... and here I am!
Everything I read about Paganism just draws me in, but I really am getting very confused about all of the different paths. I have read about Gods and Goddesses, but really do not believe in it... does that make me not a Pagan, or just definitely not Wiccan?
I would like to delve more into it all but feel I can't because I do not know which path I should be on. My friend has said that I should be on the path that 'jumps out' at me... but reading about it online has simply confused me...
From what I have written about, can anyone recommend paths that I should look into? Am I a witch from what I believe and am interested in?
I really do feel quite lost!

Where On Earth Do I Start? |

If you've read my profile, you'll know that I am a big newbie  and haven't a clue about lots of things and haven't a clue what to do/where to start etc. so please do excuse me if I waffle and seem to talk utter nonsense. Where I'm at now: - I've always been interested in paganism/wicca and seem to be drawn to it. I don't think some of the things I do are 'pagan like' whatever that may be! For one thing I've recently been drawn into reading about angels. Do angels have a place under the pagan umbrella? What about medium ship? What is the pagan view of this or is there none? I sincerely think we should all honour our planet and look after it and be as one with it. I love nature, I love working in it, growing it, walking in it, sitting and just 'being' in it. I am currently studying books about crystals (of which I now own some of) and about the chakras, and psychic intuition. I'm also doing reiki 1 and have been attuned and practise healing on family. I feel like there is so much more 'out there' So much more I could be seeing and doing and people to meet, places to go. But where, where do I start??? As before, sorry for the waffle!
