Ancient faith today!

Paganism refers to modern revival of ancient (mostly polytheist) faith from Europe, Middle East and North Africa, and the movements surrounding it. The purpose of this community is to provide a space for discussion and sharing of experiences, art and advice among pagans.

Just having fun getting things rolling on here.

I'm a follower of the horned god and the earth mother, but I also worship Hecate.

What about anyone else? What's your paganism look like?

Guess I'll chime in since I finally got some time!

I'm a Naturalistic Pagan. When I began I did consider following either the Ancient Egyptian, Greek or Roman gods as I've always had an interest love for them since I was a kid learning history and mythology. That being said I know some pagans don't care for or count non-theists in their ranks, and as I don't believe in the existence of gods anyway, I opt'd to use a purposely fictional pantheon instead of one any typical pagans would have a connection to.

As philosophy wise the ideas of cosmicism and optimistic nihilism fit me to a 'T', my pantheon is the Old Ones from the works of Lovecraft. (Which ended up being funny as I didn't wanna 'copying' one community and ended up finding another existing community cause there's lots of us lol).
