Okay so this was copied and slightly edited from another site I'm on. Maybe you all will bite or not just thought it would be slightly interesting.

So here it is:

Spiritual paths -
Main spiritual interests-
Do you belong in a spiritual group/coven?-
Happiest when-
Why I am (blank)-


Here's mine:

Spiritual paths- VERY eclectic and still searching for my own way. I relate more to a green/cottage witch type path though. Also learning to work with the ancestors and other spiritual beings.

Main spiritual interests- Living in tune with nature and the wheel of the year, using herbs and crystals in my practice, trying to honour the ancestors and other entities. Simple magic if at all and devotion to the divine.


Do you belong to a spiritual group/Coven- Nope..solitary.

Happiest when- Depends.. lots of things make me spiritually fulfilled and happy. The ocean, and autumn day, a storm, fresh snowfall...etc.

Why I am (blank)- Because its what feels right, it feels like home, like it second nature, like its what speaks to my soul. Oh and freedom.

Hi. I'm Holy Roller, the forum's Atheist Hunter. My arsenal used for the hunt include a very considerable intellect, backed by the Holy Spirit of the most high G-d.
I counter folly with wisdom. I dispel idiocy with brilliance. I provide the exit from the Maze of Mediocrity with the Door of Perception, only this time, said perception is levied with wisdom, wit and intelligence, rather than with a cactus.
Welcome!

Spiritual paths -

Judaism. I'm starting to lean to Torah Umadda (Torah and Science) as a Philosophy but I'm still Haredi (Some consider them the "Ultra-Orthodox" of Judaism) in dress and manner. I'm also considered a Mitnagdim (Opponent) because I also fall under a group of men who opposed the early rise of Hasidic Judaism. Don't let that fool you, my wife of 33 years comes from a Hasidic family and I often worship with them.

Main spiritual interests-

Mitzvah, prayer and inter-faith discourse.

Do you belong in a spiritual group/coven?-

I use to be a Pastoral Rabbi at a Lithuanian Shul in New Jeresy, but since retirement I have moved back to NYC to live near my Grandchildren and teach at local Cheder (Primary Hebrew School) where I feild very difficult and precise questions from six year olds. The only shul within walking distance is a Lubavitch one.

Happiest when-

Spending shabbat with my wife. Playing with my grand children on the floor and reading a good book.

Why I am Torah observant Jew?

No other faith on this planet can compare.

Spiritual paths - Irish-based eclecticism with a bent towards recon of intent and fey work. Also an Otherkin sympathizer from some perspectives. Still don't like 'em. :)

Main spiritual interests- Astral work, learning languages, writing songs...other stuff

Do you belong in a spiritual group/coven?- Family group: me, partner, daughter. "Ruby, it's a Sabbat!" "Ruby love Goddess!" Pagan kids rule.

Happiest when- Out in the woods in the mountains.

Why I am (blank)- Because I have yet to be filled in.

Spiritual paths - Very Eclectic Solitary Wiccan with Green/Hedge witch leanings

Main spiritual interests-
I love learning about world faiths as well as my own, I also love working with crystals (though I'm very new at it).

Do you belong in a spiritual group/coven?-
No, but I wouldn't rule it out one day...if the right group of people emerge.

Happiest when-
Left alone, reading, eating or sleeping.

Why I am a Very Eclectic Solitary Wiccan with Green/Hedge witch leanings -
Because after years of searching it feels the most natural to me. I have great respect for Christianity (and all other faiths) but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't make myself 'fit' with any other path.

You should add modesty to your arsenal, HR...and comedian ;)

Are you going to answer the survey?

You forgot how modest you are.

(ahem)

Spiritual paths - Generic NeoPagan Witch.

Main spiritual interests- discovering the nature of divinity.

Do you belong in a spiritual group/coven?- I used to belong to a group encompassing various Neopagan traditions, but I went back to solitary practice as the number of members increased dramatically.

Happiest when- I'm spending time with my wife.

Why I am (blank)- I'm Neopagan by experience. I find it to enhance this life.

Spiritual paths - I have been most interested in Advaita Vedanta and Zen Buddhism. Not commited to any particular path yet.

Main spiritual interests- discovering who I am.

Do you belong in a spiritual group/coven?- Not at this time, although I am looking for a Zen group

Happiest when- not at work

Why I am interested in Hinduism and Buddhism - I feel a sense of peace reading the eastern religious texts, such as the Upanishads and some of the Buddhist sutras.

HELLO!!! ^_^ I was wondering if you were still posting on here. I don't spend too much time on here because, as many others have said, this forum feels to have shrunk in recent months.

Spiritual paths - Definitely Pagan, and would like to formally self-dedicate as a Solitary Wiccan

Main spiritual interests- Hermetic Magick, as opposed to Ceremonial Magick (raising and using energy with the mind alone as opposed to perfomring complicated rituals), divination using Tarot and Runes, mythology.

Do you belong in a spiritual group/coven?- Strictly solitary.

Happiest when- Dancing, because that is the easiest way for me, at this point, to raise energy, as it is done in a large group setting.

Why I am Pagan- I have been in a relationship, for the past 4 years, with a man in his late 60's, who introduced me to concepts that are found in the Pagan realm. Raising and using energy, the concepts of discipline and determination and Karma, the idea that you for the most part create the reality that you live in. He has been a Martial Artist for over 40 years, and these were aspects of his training. When he and I went through a very painful separation late last year (that we are still working through) I happened to research Paganism and Wicca and found that this area of spirituality encompasses a lot of his instruction. So, I adopted it, and am using it as a tool for self-improvement, because the separation WAS my fault.

I also believe that it is MY will for my life that is important, not what others think I should be doing. Anyone can TELL me what I may want to consider doing, but it is totally up to me whether or not I do it. I refuse to let anyone else define me as a person.

Greetings Sacredsin!

Spiritual paths - Eclectic Druidic Pagan

Main spiritual interests - Learning world religions, psychic empathy, spiritual counseling.

Do you belong in a spiritual group/coven?- Yes. We call it ... Earth

Happiest when - Bringing comfort and/or happiness to another.

Why I am Eclectic Druidic Pagan - No brief answer possible. :)

I am of a religion that recognizes that the religion of each and every person I meet is true and correct for them at that time, some having a direction to find, and all having room to grow (myself included). I can learn from the best examples of any religion, and endeavor to be a good example of some quality in every religion. Without the limitations and boundaries of dogma, I can see and discern the realities of the world around me with simple yet distinct clarity. I can recognize and celebrate the existence of the Divine as I continue to discover and cultivate it within myself, and as well, in everything and everyone I see around me. This is who and what I am, not by choice but by self-actualization, from my heart of hearts, and no other religion I know would bring me such satisfaction and happiness.

Spiritually,
-- Druweid
