Yes I know but people associate paganism with wiccans and that whole earth lover/hippish thing. I’d rather not be associated with them. Agnostic sounds a lil better.
witch covens etc the whole standing around a pentagram while chanting about the God and Goddess etc most of it is feminism and anti man philosophy along with being a make up fashion trend like wearing all black with pentagram necklaces etc also lol I love that movie the craft and think Wiccan bitches are hot pieces of ass… that being said I am powerful enough to do magick on my own and don’t need no damn coven…
in short OP, if dealing with non religious people- pagan is fine if you don’t mind being associated with wiccans and the like.
If dealing with super religious people- Agnostic is better (imo) because then they’ll probably not be as angry / judge so much. They’ll think they can still save you.
you can remain ignorant like you don’t know anything about the Bible or Jesus they might if they are soul winning churches try and save you via word of God and a baptism however I would just say Pagan or Atheistic Agnostic…
I usually use the terms spiritual because that could literally mean anything and mention practices like voodoo or santeria since those are considered witchy religions… or I just flat out say Atheist or scientific with an interest in philosophy…
I am an Occultist and everything that includes it, but as a way of life and not as religion. I’m a scholar, a witch, a Goddess, an observer, a practitioner. You wanna label me? Go on, amuse me.
Ok, let me just say, I’m Puerto Rican and practice both Santeria and Puerto Rican Vodou, there are in no way witchy at all, the half ass witches who say the practice don’t give a flying fuck about Puerto Ricans or our culture.
