First Post

So this is my first post, not sure what to start off with, but here goes:

This blog will primarily be a pagan-themed blog, with a little miscellaneous stuff thrown in. Any and all aspects of paganism will be covered, along with information on my personal practices. For the purposes of this blog, Paganism is defined as any religious or esoteric practice which is not of the 3 Major monotheistic religions (Xianity, Islam or Judaism) OR the 3 Major Orthodox Eastern religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism/Taoism).

While the 3 Western monotheistic traditions consider any non-adherent as a "Pagan", I've included the 3 Major Eastern traditions as well, regardless of the number of divinities recognized in their respective pantheons, since I consider them to be "orthodox", (i.e. conforming to the approved form of any doctrine, philosophy, ideology, customary or conventional, as a means or method; established); and current Pagan religions and practices are primarily unorthodox in nature.

Of course, there exist Pagan organizations which have specific practices (Gardnerian & Alexandrian Covens, as well as several Druid groups), but overall their beliefs and practices have not been endorsed by the vast majority of people. In addition, the blog will most likely focus on Western Pagan themes (Celtic, Norse, Greek/Roman, North American, Wicca, some Egyptian/Near Ancient Eastern, etc.), as that is the subject area I'm most familiar with and practice in daily life.
