Any "pagans" here?
Rather surprised to see such a topic here!
pa·gan
/ˈpāɡən/
noun
noun: pagan; plural noun: pagans
1.
a person holding religious beliefs other than those of the main world religions (and some would say "any non-Abrahamic" religious beliefs).
As such,.... OMG!!! I'm a PAGAN!!!!
but alas, I am outside any descriptive of "mainstream religions", religious orders, paths, followings, eclectic beliefs, tribes, cultures, etc., etc.

^^ GOLLY! Hehe... So, watt d/you think of that YT vid above? A fair look at the subject? Truth? I'm about the most NON-religious person. So go to christian churches and hebrew synagogues and muslim mosques to enjoy the architecture. BUT is wicca EVen a "religion" in a "traditional sense"? Do regret not seeing Stonehenge in England (Canadian lived in UK for three years), but suspect Stonehenge is more "druid-like" than "wicca-like". And at the same time the vid was talking about wicca being a "recent" development. Sorta like worshiping the bettery-electric bicycle. (Watt I do daily.)
yes,.... true and accurate IMO, of Gardnerian traditions and followings, and of some others as well. By coincidence I suppose, I know and/or have associated with many of such, as well as others of specific English and European origins, and rather surprisingly, those of MANY other origins, new, old and ancient, as well. Jus lucky and fortunate, I guess. And yes,... I would say VERY religious in a traditional sense, and otherwise, some recent, some primitive. I say that relative to many others I know of various "mainstream" religions, beliefs and cultures.
I still pedal my bike (sorta primitive), and the magick of that throttle (sorta recent) is still amazing to me! And I've always enjoy architecture of all sorts, with great intrigue as well.
