    I follow a pagan path (but I’m not Wiccan). I view it more as a spirituality than a religion since it isn’t organized or faith based. It just resonates with me. I wear witchy jewelry for personal comfort, maintain an altar at home (mostly for tarot, incense and meditation), love to study folklore and pagan practices in other parts of the world, celebrate the wheel of the year, and honor nature and the cosmos above all.

    I grew up atheist and still consider myself one since I view gods as a reflection of the real world, akin to Mother Nature.

      Haha I’m another atheist with an altar at home! Instead of religious symbols, there are framed pictures of ancestors.

      Normally in Asia we worship at these altars (usually involving serving food and drinks), but I don’t do that. I just see it as a nice reminder of the memories I’ve had with all those people, and a connection to the past.

      …although the idea you can crack open a beer with your ancestors from time to time is sort of neat.
