My "converting" to paganism is all due to one lovely invention: The Internet.
I wasn't religious to begin with, granted I started studying paganism in 2nd grade (I was very curious anyway, and an internet addict, it wasn't that hard to 'stumble upon'). Of course, my family is very confused religiously. We are apparently protestant christian, but we dont prey, go to church, anything like that. We went when I was very little, but only on easter for the egg hunt or when there was a potluck, mostly because my cousins own the church and we didn't get to see them often. Another uncle of mine owns a catholic church, for that matter, but my mother always told me 'catholics are weird' and left it at that. But I was never taught anything about the bible, or if I was, I never listened. The only things I knew about the bible I learned from cartoons and school. Which is pretty strange...
Anyway, after that I always believed in many gods and was always into occultic things like tarot and spellcasting. I only attempted to become truely dedicated to wicca a few years ago (freshman year of highschool) and gently found out... that it just didn't feel right. I guess thats why I didn't get into it before. But, while I was set on being dedicated, I found a site (I think it was... e-cauldron), that I discorvered hellenic polytheism. And I had always been interested in greece so I dicided to learn about it on an edgucational stand-point. By the time the gods were answering me, I knew I was there.
Of course, I discovered The Principia Discordia a year before that and it changed my life, but I take it very philosophically and don't consider it my true religion.

Quote: Though I supose its not realy paganism since I don't belive in polythiestic dieties... just that all dieties are apart of one great over soul. ^.^
Don't worry Juna Lu, I believe in something like that. =]
I don't really think I have a big story on how I got into paganism. It was more of a gradual realization. I was always close to nature. I virtually lived in the mountian behind my old house and animals like me a lot. Plus I read a lot so pagan-like things would be mentioned so I'd dig a little deeper her and there. I think it was three years ago when I took my first trip to Salem. We were visiting my friend's aunt's house who lives there and she took us for a tour. I picked up a book Green Witchcraft by Aoumiel. It was interesting, but it wasn't for me. It got me interested in similar things. I got more and more books, reading up. 3 or 4 Cunningham books (I like his a lot, though he had a bad editor, there's so many spelling mistakes XD ), Totem Magic by Yasmeen Yalenorn (awesome, btw), The Element Encycoledia of 5000 Spells (good history on the occult), plus numerous others. One night while reading The Wicca Handbook by Eileen Holland it was amazing. I had to stop reading because I was filled with such joy, I actually cried. I knew I found what I needed. I'm not saying I believed everything in that one book, but it told me that I was on the right track.
