spiritual discussionsThis is the place at AW for mamas to learn about all different religions and beliefs, to ask questions, to give answers- all done with respect! if you don't have anything nice to say here- don't say anything at all.
Mine came back exactly as I expected.. kind of nice to know it agreed with me.
You Scored as Celtic Pantheonic Pagan
Your answers leaned very close to that of the Celtic Pantheon. Very popular now among pagans, the Celtic Gods seem to draw those who are sensitive and insightful, but also very passionate about their beliefs. Many Pagan Holidays are named for this pantheon and here is where you'll find many stories on Horned God, Green Man, and Druids. You likely either have been or want to visit Stonehenge one day. Many Arthurian legnds include references to the Celtic faith, as well.
Good quiz! But no surprises here either. I've become far more Eastern leaning in the last few years than Celtic...though I'm a pantheist to the core so there you go. Seeing Amma on my birthday was transformative, and definitely struck a chord that draws me closer to Hinduism. But I really straddle between Buddhism and Hinduism with a bunch of earth-based accessories.
You Scored as Eastern Pagan
Eastern Pagans come in two breeds; The Buddhist-Pagan, who follows the Buddhist belief of the "middle way" and the Hindu-pagan, who leans to the Hindu Pantheon of gods. Thoughtful, calm, insightful individuals are often drawn to Eastern mythology and thought. Enlightenment is more than a theory; it's a state of mind to aspire to, and there are certain key elements that you've found in the Eastern paths that offer to help you on the journey. Those who seek these paths are often the teachers, the peacemakters and the intellectualists of our world.
The Zoroastrian Pagan is a rare breed who follows the teachings of Zoroaster, the religious reformer. He believed that there were no gods, and it was naive to put faith in them and give them names. What one should focus on is merely serving one side of the cosmic duality; work on good or light deeds, and the world would become more good or light. Pagans of this variety are rare, but often feel like they get more done without the hassle and clutter of pantheons and gods. They're smart, analytical, and occationally cynical.
I dunno.. I grew up Catholic, and there was a definite period where I held on to a lot of that faith while finding my truth as far as my spirituality goes.. I bet I would have fallen into that catholic-pagan catagory at that time. It was a bit odd though.
A veritable blend of all the pantheons and perhaps a dash of a few other religions as well, you're the versitile Ecclectic Pagan. You have no problem wearing an ankh while setting an offering to Herne on your alter just below your image of Hera. You don't believe in coloring within the lines, and are a bright free-thinker. While you respect the views of your fellow pagans, as far as you're concerned, religion is the sky, and there's no one about to clip your wings with lines and limitations.

do you have to already belong to them? All the link takes me to is some kind of homepage. I tried putting "pagan" in it's search engine but tons of pagan tests came up and I'm not sure which one you took.
it's almost 2am i should sleep.

I took this just for the heck of it, because I am always intensely curious and interested in religion and surveys . I was curious what I would come up with if I answered to the best of my ability and I didn't look at the options that are on the quiz beforehand, just went right to the link. Actually this is very funny because if there could BE a pagan religion for me, this would fall very accurately, I think:
You Scored as Kabbalistic Pagan
Kabbalistic study derives from Judaism, and acknowledges that the divine is vast and unknowable. The Torah was reinterpreted because of this idea, to gain a greater understanding of the sacred text. Kabbalistic mysticism is still alive in our world, specifically in tarot cards; symbolic color is a Kabbalistic belief and study. Those who follow this path are generally those who are open to the concept that we cannot know the Divine, and accepts the connection of all things, even religion, itself.
I am more open to kabbalah, though genuine Kabbalah and not Madonna-esque cabala, nowadays than I was before about two-three years ago. I see connections everywhere, all of the time, love Hebrew and the fact that words in Hebrew actually *are*/describe the item/individual. I usually see the big picture as well as its parts. I do believe in the transmigration of souls... I am not a pagan, however, so you can disregard my post lol, I was just enjoying the link. I am entirely sold out to one G-d, HaShem (The Name), and pursuing conversion to Judaism, but this was fun and enlightening . Just goes to show me that I am more interested in Kabbalah than I already felt.

This is the first time I've heard of Zoroaster, but the rest sounds about right.

Zoroastrian is a path that is included in the Sufi Universal Worship. My parents are Sufi, so while I don't know a ton about it, I'm familiar with the basics.
Zoroastrian is also thought as one of the precursors to Christianity. There was a messiah type figure, angels and demons, etc. It was definitely a religion that the early christians drew a lot from. Zoroaster was the messiah type figure
