I am pagan ... an ADF druid, specifically. I am deeply involved, having founded a local grove. I came to paganism via a long, winding path that started with free-thinking parents, was fueled by psychedelics in college, and influenced by a brief flirtation with Buddhism. I first experimented with Wicca, but soon realized it wasn't for me before finding that there are other kinds of pagans. And since then I haven't looked back.
For me the defining moment was when I realized that I truly was an animist ... that I saw everything in the world as having its own spirit. From that it wasn't difficult for me to accept the notion of multiple gods. I haven't been happier since I came to terms with this. My then-boyfriend, who was bitterly in rebellion against Christianity, also found the path. We're now married and expecting our first child, who we will be raising in our path.
