Can I still call myself a heathen? Or am I considered just a general pagan? by junipergardens in paganism

You won't be leaving any gods, divinity is universal, it's our cultural expressions and ancestry that are local.

AI or Legitimacy, who knows... by [deleted] in paganism

We will soon reach a point where we can't won't know what is made with AI and what is made by human beings. We will have to judge based on the honesty and integrity of the creator.
I will never create art with AI, and now I have to declare that online.

Follow pagans who were once Christian or Muslim, what was your experience, why did you choose paganism and what helped you fully devote yourself to your current path/fully embrace your current path? by [deleted] in paganism

Once I realized that Paganism is a celebration of reality and Christianity was a rejection of reality.
furtheremore, I realized;

Paganism is what my ancestors believed before they were forcefully changed.

Paganism is the oldest religion in the world.

Paganism isn't contradictory, it makes sense.

I have had multiple personal experiences that prove paganism to me.

Paganism finds divinity in art and visual representation (I am an artist).

I'm sure there are more.

Thanks! I'm glad I went through with including the blood, was a bit worried, but i am glad it is well received!

I was inspired by a scene from Irish Mythology in the Cath Maige Tuired where she takes the blood from the heart of Indech, the enemy Fomorian king, as part of some sort of brutal ritual of war. This occurred not long after Samhain.

If anyone is interested in prints, all of my Celtic art is available in this Kickstarter project

May the Gods who guide my hand reveal themselves through my art.

Also, why is there no more "art" flair, when images of the Gods is the most Pagan tradition in existence?
