So, how many Pagans do we ACTUALLY have here?

Lady Sidhe · 05-03-2004, 07:55 PM

I'm just curious. I'm eclectic Wiccan myself, mostly Green, with a little bit of Greek, Roman, and Strega, for a little over ten years. I personally became Pagan because it just seemed like I finally found a belief system that matched the one I already held. Not to mention that it emphasizes personal responsibility, and I think the rituals are much more evocative than any church I've attended.

Anybody else wanna 'fess up?

I think this should be in the "philosophy" forum, but this question has been asked repeatedly. Do some digging, you'll find us.

I thought about putting it in the philosophy forum, but I don't really want to know about any religious experiences or such...just curious as to numbers....

The answer is "some."

I am the Religious Right. Just not the religion you were expecting.

Now I wonder where Jinx got her figure. I'm also curious about her answer of "7".

When I work it through I keep coming up with a number closer to 5. or maybe 4-1/2. (which I suppose is close to 5.)

Elspode · 05-04-2004, 12:07 PM

Well, you're doing better than I am, because I can only come up with 4 who have just flat come right out and said it.

But what about the new members since then?

A pity, that.

It's more fun to remain mysterious ... any of the individuals I was thinking of have made public declaration, anyway ...

oh, I thought of at least one more ... a lurker ... creator of the a pagan conservative elist I moderate.

Did new members suddenly lose the ability to post on old threads? When did that happen?

Do a search on "pagan"...you'll find 5 that have professed it to the masses.
