Like I said, the beliefs are hard to define as they are intertwined with everyday life.
And thanks Tristan.

I really respect this!
I believe in it all... I was raised as a Unitarian and I want to find what is universal in human beliefs,
I am not interested in anything that divides people or has a 'holier than thou' direction....

nvghostrider, in the Pagan/Wiccan religions we believe much the same thing. On Samhain (Halloween) we believe that the veil between the worlds is thinnest, and we often perform a rite called the Wild Hunt, in which a doorway is dedicated to those that have gone ahead before us, and they are invited to visit with us for a short time.
I could tell you all stories of things I've seen at this time, but most of you wouldn't believe them anyway.

PaganPaul...does the hunt have anything to do with the white stag? I am a "student" of all things Celtic, but have not gotten too far into the religious side (apart from the Tuatha de Danann, but my interest is more on the history/mythology than the religion/sprituality).

As Embers was saying, many beleifs shadow each other. But it seems that our beleifs are more along the lines of walk the right path everyday, communicate with them everyday, and give thanks everyday. Dierct Counsel is given from those before us only by their choice. Sacrifices of self (Sundance, vision quest) are a way to both give and recieve from those before us. The veil is not meant to be a barrier in a bad sense. But more of a tool to help those on both sides focus on the present.

I was of the Episcopalian faith, but it wasn't a great fit for me.

Being a Pagan myself, I try to respect everyones beliefs,as londg as no one's trying to convert me, or tell me I'm dammed.
It's amazing to me how many Pagans are heirarchal and end up being as bad & unaccepting as any other organized religion.Which is why I remain solitary.
Tristan ,have you trad The Mabinogian ? Lots of Celtic mythy goodness with many Pagan ideals thrown in.

Well said Fred. Wasn't that well said?
I'm an atheist, I don't agonize over it or reason it out on a daily basis or anything. It just seems obvious to me, and I enjoy what I experience of the `verse. What's beyond me, what I can't see or understand, I just don't worry about. That's worked just fine.

LA29, yes, I have gone through that as well as most of the Ulster Cycle and anything else I can get my hands on...but again, as an Historian, I focus on the history behind the stories. Guess I need to start looking beyond that, eh?
