I've been a Christian 'all my life'. Ie I never had a choice in the matter. Now I have stopped believing that Christianity if s the way to go, I've been looking into paganism. And I think it could well be the way to go! I am very nature-concious and believe that life is connected. I do realise that i need to do some research into paganism before I take the leap. Is there any books or websites you recommend me reading?
Read Mother Nature! Find people who show you these things, its way better than books. I had the chance to live with shamans and when reading about it in books or in forums I was mostly disappointed. It seems so complicated in the books and in reality its the most simple and natural thing in the world. Being in nature with your mind and senses open, with a little creativity, music and a big heart in good company is the way to go! -peace-
read what you can. information on this subject is why I don't like the internet: it's either fluffy, intolerant, or accurate, and accurate is rare
"I've been a Christian 'all my life'. Ie I never had a choice in the matter. Now I have stopped believing that Christianity if s the way to go, I've been looking into paganism. And I think it could well be the way to go! " Don't go that way my friend. True Christianity is most "nature conscious" . After all the Creator is the author of all nature.
Did the "Creator" create natue or did nature create the "Creator"?? Does nature need a "Creator"? Nature was already there and always will be.
I find more beauty in nature by believing it all sprang up randomly. Check out www.sacredtexts.com and just find religions that seem interesting to you. Also check out any nature based religion...
