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. unsure.gif
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 smile.gif )

Thank you all in advance for your help.

Lots of cultures have creation stories. Have you tried googling Creation Myths?
There's an audiobook of the Navajo creation story here. http://www.podiobooks.com/title/all-is-bea...-creation-story
