I gravitate more towards the Celtic because it's part of my heritage.  I've always been drawn to Ceridwen.

Hi, there! My name is Diana as well. Diana was a Goddess of the ancient Greek and it was mentioned in the bible as Simon was a priest in her temple at the time of St Paul. Simon after that became Christian.

I'm Wiccan.  I've had a relationship with Artemis since before I understood that there were other religions besides Christianity.  I first learned about Her when I was in sixth grade during a section in Social Studies on mythology.  I drew a picture of her that I still have to this day, and it's my Goddess image!  I feel closest to her, although I'm no longer a virgin.  I called upon Her during my childbirth, and I think She helped to the point where the doctor told me that I was "made just perfectly to have babies" during delivery, which was a real shock to someone who had barely weighed over 100 lbs and had absolutely no hips for most of her adult life until that point!  I think She helped to spread my hips farther than they were naturally designed to go because none of my female relatives have had it as easy with their first as I did!\n\nOther than Her, I've always felt closest to the Celtic Deities.  Cernunnos and Brigit are my especial favorites.\n\nSpeaking of, you mentioned Christians coopting the idea for a trinity?  Well, look at most of the Catholic saints and you will find old pagan Deities!  Go figure, huh?  Gotta placate the masses you want to convert by letting them keep their old traditions and gods, just in a slightly different form.

I believe God and Goddess exist.  I have had experiencs with them and they have helped me get through many difficult times.  I pray to them regularly and they have helped me learn so many things.\n\nSome Wiccans see some traditions as more true than others and many do not.  There is some dissagreement in the Wiccan community over faith as there is in many religions where there are multiple denomonations.  Personally, I believe that the majority of Wiccan traditions are valid.  I have not been exposed to all traditions so I cannot say that I believe all are.  Moreover, I believe that the majority of existing religions around the world are valid as long as they are positive and lead their practitioners to do possitive things.\n\nWicca isn't really about catering to one's own desires.  In fact, most Wiccans I know have a healthy background in charity work.  Wiccans feel a responsibility to take care of others as well as nature itself.  Wicca does help me learn about myself and really forces me to take a look at who I am and how my actions affect the world around me.\n\nBecause our religion has no central authority or text, it is malleable, however, there are still certain core beliefs that a Wiccan must adhere to such as a belief in divinity, belief in the rede, belief in the three-fold law or law of return, etc.  Individual practices may vary as one person's relationship with the divine is not the same as another's.\n\nVery few modern religions are able to be wholly discredited and Wicca is no exception.  Religion is about faith.  It can't be scientifically proven true or false, it's practitioners believe in it based on their own experiences.\n\nNot all Wiccans cast spells.  Although Wicca embraces the belief in witchcraft, the practice of it is not mandatory.  I believe the results behind spells comes from God and Goddess.  I believe God and Goddess are neutral.  They are everything and everything is a part of them.  There is good and evil as explained in human terms, but there is no absolute good or evil.  Because of this, I believe there is nothing evil behing the religion or the practices themselves.  However, as is all faiths, there are a few bad apples.  \n\nRituals help establish a connection with God and Goddess.  It is basically prayer with actions.  If prayer can bring about change by way of the divine, then I believe rituals can as well.  Also, not all rituals are meant to bring about change in the world around us.  Wiccans frequently perform rituals to help facillitate change within ourselves.  We also perform rituals as a means of celebrations for holidays, special events, etc.  They are also used as simply a way of giving thanks to the divine.\n\nI hope I have answered all of your questions to your satisfaction.  If there is still somethingyou would like to know, please feel free to ask me.  Have a wonderful day.

I don't have any favorites, but I've always been drawn to the Egyptian pantheon, particularly Horus and Bast.

There is only one God, but he/she is called by different names depending on who's doing the calling. Like my kids call me mom, their friends call me Mrs. ******, my coworkers call me ***, some of my friends call me *********, but I'm still the same person.

I think it is an excellent theory.  While many different religions may call their god (and goddess) by different names, I think in the end we are all worshipping the same god.  We all just have different ways of worship.  God/dess is not confused - the Divine knows we are speaking to it and loves us all the same.

*laugh* I'm sorry, but this struck me as funny. I'm not sure if you're serious or not. But try http://www.beliefnet.com, maybe the Belief-O-Matic (First link on the top left) will give you a starting point. \n\nYou don't have to travel. The Gods are everywhere and in all of us. It is simply up to each person to select which one(s) to pay homage to, or not.

I do consider myself eclectic. \n\nI will take the religion road for this one. I have been studying different religions for some time now. During this search I have formed my own opinions and beliefs. Where some religions do not interest me at all others, mostly earth based (Wicca, celtic, buddhism to name a few) do but none completely. I take what feels right to me.
