I've noticed a lot of you have said that you "pick and choose" things...
I myself am not wiccan, I have researched it a bit and was interested in learning more about it, so I know a few things about it. My brother claims to be Wiccan, although he doesn't really live it. My ex-girlfriend is wiccan and me and her found a site, if any of you are interested, it's called www.silverravenwolf.com It's a wonderful site and if you go to the chat room or just read people's blogs you will find a lot of informative opinions and stories.
But on with what I was saying...I don't necessarily think you "pick" a god/goddess, or what certain path you want to take. I beleive it picks you. From my experience, it can't be "oh she looks cool, or I like what she stands for" it is more of a spiritual driven fate...there are ways that they will enter your life and let you know that they are your god/goddess, and once you have come upon them you learn all you can about them. This goes the same for your path I suppose, it will just stumble upon you and you research what you can of this path and find if it's truly right for you.
As for me...I truly tried to find a path that I enjoyed. I just don't beleive in a lot of what Wicca practices, and if I don't beleive it won't happen. I am still interested in it though, and I love sitting in on conversations about Wicca and Paganism and listening, maybe even contributing. I'm very earthly in my beleifs, I think that's why I'm most interested in this certain religion.
