See I believed in "something". A God or a Goddess or maybe it was the Sun and/or the Moon. I talked almost daily to what I "believed". When times were rough, I prayed to what I "believed". When times were good, I thanked what I "believed" for another day of waking up, breath, and another day of living.
Yet, I tend to miss the Christian holidays. I mean, it was strange this past Easter NOT to have an Easter basket for the hubs. I guess that's when it really struck me. Can one still partake in the holiday spirit but yet be Pagan?

To be Pagan is not to believe in a Christian God (higher power), correct? Not to believe in the Christian Bible, correct?
I'm finding myself in a "limbo" per say. Caught between Christianity (per say) and Paganism. I don't like this feeling and don't know how to shake it. All this Pagan book reading, ritual, magik, spells is confusing me more. I liked it better before. My simple life. The one where I did "believe" just wasn't sure what it was. Now I DO know what it is I believe in but must all the rest of the "hoopla" be done? Does that make me a bad-Pagan?
Can one be Pagan yet not do all the ritual and intense, indepth reading of all the folk lore and history (of which no one is sure is true anyway)?
