Hello. My faith is unique, as is everybody's. No one else believes exactly what
I believe, and I do not believe exactly what anyone else believes. That is how it should be.
I also believe that everyone
is entitled to the freedom to believe what his or her own heart desires.
The catch here, is that there is no right or wrong.

I am Pagan. This means I partake in a faith that allows me the
freedom to, for lack of better words, mold it to what fits me.
As a Pagan, I do not worship
the devil, I do not even believe in a supreme evil. I am not evil, I do not curse people,
I do not use my beliefs to harm others. As a Pagan, I believe in the three-fold rule. This little rule says that,
whatever I send out, good or bad,
I will receive it back three-fold. Therefore, if I were to say, curse
someone to have 3 warts, I would get 9 myself. Now, this does not always mean that in
every case it is exactly 3x. It is what the Gods
feel you deserve, however multiplying it by 3
is simply an easy way to explain. Easy enough to figure out? Good.

Paganism is not devil worship. Pagans in general don't even believe in a devil, or other form of one great evil being.
We again in general believe that to name something gives it power. As a Pagan, I believe in preserving
the earth. Reduse Reuse Recycle right? :-)

Let me explain why people began saying pagans worship the devil. *ahem*
Many/most pagans believe in the horned god. He is a symbol of fertility,
the hunt, masculinity, a "man's man" if you will. Many/most pagans who believe in
Him visualize Him with stag/deer antlers. He also often had
cloven feet. This is where the image of the devil came from.

I divinate. I use a pendulum.
This is a crystal at the end of a cord
(they come in so many different varieties I couldn't list
them all here) which I ask a question and it will swing in a certain
way for a certain answer. *this is the easiest form of divination
where a person can get fooled* I read several tarot decks.
I do believe in them, I've been wrong
only a handful of times. I am also beginning to read the runes. Reading the cards or runes
or pendulum is not "fortune telling." I am not given specific "yes's" or "no's." I'm generally given different
views. Like...I'm given clues on the best
action(s) to take. They do not really tell the future. I mean, chances are, they are not
going to tell me that next week I'm gonna buy a new cd or anything like that.

I believe in the Goddess, as the, once again for lack of better words,
supreme being. The Goddess has three forms, Maiden, Mother, Crone. This means, that She shows
Herself in my/our life/lives in three ways, as a young woman, as a mother, and as a grandmother figure.

I also believe in other gods. That the Goddess and the Great
Horned God can take different forms as different gods,
specific ones. This means that there is someone always looking after everything, rivers, trees, animals,
humans, even mountains, rocks, and the weather. Where do you think the term "Mother Nature"
came from? 'Cuz the Great Mother Goddess looks after nature. And all of us for that matter.

I would like to explain why I believe there is no wrong
religion. I look at is sort of as a multifaceted diamond.
Just picture this magnificent diamond in your head, with all these beautiful faces. The top face is diety (God, Goddess, Allah,
the state of Nirvana whatever or whomever you worship).
All of the other faces are the ways we are able to worship.
We all worship the same diety, we simply call him/her/they by different names and worship
in different ways. If all of the religions of
the world all had their own dieties, I think they'd all be warring to get all of the peoples of
Earth to worship them don't you?...or at least some of them would...

***If you want further information on Paganism, search the internet.
There are many great websites out there, there's also a
lot of bad websites. Be careful about what you read.
IF EVER, A WEBSITE, BOOK, MOVIE, PERSON, ANYTHING OR ANYBODY TELLS YOU THAT YOU *MUST* DO
THIS OR *MUST* DO THAT TO BELONG TO A GROUP, RELIGON, CHURCH, COVEN
OR ANYTHING FOR THAT MATTER, NO MATTER WHAT YOU FEEL ABOUT IT, LEAVE IMMEDIATELY!!! AND IF THE SITUATION IS BAD ENOUGH, TELL A TRUSTED ADULT, FRIEND,
RELATIVE, POLICE OFFICER, ANYBODY. **NO** religion should force you to do something that you are uncomfortable with.
