(I think I will remake this thread on the big board when it comes back online)

Well just a fun little thread.... what was it that brought you to Paganism?  why did you choose to go this direction?  I noticed that allot of the members (including me) used to be Christian of some sort so Paganism is a very large jump off the old path if you know what I mean Wink

I've not had this discussion on this board and the other board isn't open so I'd be happy to tell you what brought me to Paganism INsearch.

I was raised Protestant and went to church every Sunday for most of my childhood. We were not however bible thumpers or by any means overly religious. I think my mom felt it was her duty at the time more than anything else. I hated it. It was boring..I would nod off while the preacher droned on about hell and sinning and everything else. I just never felt it. Some people feel moved. I just never felt it. Anyway when I was in my teens I started being interested in ghosts, paranormal, past lives etc. I think for as long as I can remember I have believed this wasn't it . That there was something more waiting. I almost now wonder if that being born isn't more like death. We are so restricted here I would think. When I say that I mean psychically I suppose. I believe that there is likely so much more freedom on the other side. It's more like being born than dying. You recall the things that are lost to you here so how can that not be more freedom. I don't know I guess in ways it would be bad because you wouldn't be able to interact with your loved ones and that might feel lonely at first. Anyway I am rambling. I do that.
So I started doing Tarot and Oiuja boards about that time as well. I've become quite good with the tarot now. I got married and had children. My brother in law is Wiccan. He is why I knew it even existed. I really didn't start reading up and learning everything I could get my hands on until a few years ago though. I was watching the series Rome and had just finished the Divinci Code and just ..I don't know..I just felt this need to learn. It nearly makes me feel silly to say fictional books and movies  is what ultimately brought me to study and find my path here but it is what it is. I feel a lot more complete than I ever did before that's for sure and I'm far from bored..
