SiltiCrafts creatrix Kristine<p>And another one: what's at the core of your pagan practices/lifestyle or however else you refer to it?</p><p>Personally for me, it's the wheel of the year based on the Sun's relationship to the Earth, seasons, nature and connection to nature. I think of gods and mythical creatures as metaphors, as entities living in our collective mind, something like that. I'm not sure I know how to explain it better. </p><p>Also, I belong to Balts and live where they lived. Also known as the last pagans of Europe because christianity came here late and was foundly fought against. Many practices survived christianity because it was hard to fight them, so they were successfully incorporated into christian practices - saved from the enemy through enemy itself (but didn't it happen like that everywhere?). I grew up with christianity and paganism both practiced at home, in school and society without conflict between them. All that with geographical influences (and my ancestry, as far as known) from Norse, Slavic and Germanic traditions. So, I explore paganism from this perspective, and learning and deepening my knowledge about Baltic, Slavic, Germanic and a bit Norse paganism is a part of my pagan path.</p><p>But mostly, for me it's all about nature. Understanding, learning, feeling, using, honouring, buliding and nurturing my relationship with the land I walk.</p><p>Anyways, what's the center of your pagan path? </p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Paganism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Paganism</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pagan</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/natureconnection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>natureconnection</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/paganpractices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paganpractices</span></a></p>
SiltiCrafts creatrix Kristine<p>What is paganism for you and what it means to be pagan? I'm not looking for right or wrong answer, I'm truly curious to find pagan definition of paganism today. If not a strict definition, than thoughts and feelings of those who proudly, quietly or just in their thoughts call themselves pagan or are trying to find the path to paganism. Can we talk about this?</p><p>It's serving pagan gods for one, celebrating the Earth's relationship to the Sun and celestial bodies to another. It's seeking wisdom of ancestors for one and connection to and taking care of Nature around for another one. It's fitting in and belonging to one and all of the above (and more) for another one of us.</p><p>What it means to be pagan for you?
