。 this rentry will go in-depth about my beliefs as a pagan

ノ Overview ⌓⌓
in basic terms, i consider myself pagan, in my case, this means i believe in all religions, however, i only actually follow a select few. these include the following; greek, celtic, egyptian, and norse, see their respective sections to see specific deities i worship. i do believe myths are stories of the past, however i believe no myths are fully accurate to what happened due to them being passed around orally mostly at the time. when a myth has multiple intereptations, i chose to believe in the one that i feel is closest.
ノ Mythlogical Creatures ⌓⌓
much like deities, i believe that all mythological/folklore creatures exist. i am more interested in those from the earlier mentioned religions, however i do not believe in these more than others, i believe in all creatures equally.
ノ Names ⌓⌓
i do believe names hold power, which is why there are some creatures i will not say the full name of. if i need to mention them i will use nicknames. i do this out of fear of "calling" on said creature on accident, in a sense. that being said, please also use these nicknames yourself when speaking about them around me, hearing the names often makes me uneasy, thank you.
ノ Witchcraft ⌓⌓
i do believe in witchcraft, and would like to be a practicing witch, however supplies are difficult to come by right now. this means i believe in the following; the spiritual meanings of crystals, flowers, and other herbs, as well as colors, and animals. i also believe in astrology, and used to / would like to do tarot card readings.
ノ Hellenism ⌓⌓
