Okay, I think I'll do something that almost falls under #3 and pick "wicca"! Are you wiccan? Or pagan? Or just fascinated from afar (like me ;p)? I don't actually know a lot about it, just some; I dabbled a little in the past (probably the way 50% of all teenage girls have, lol), but the occult arts in general have always been something I've meant to set aside time to look into deeper. *grin*

I'm... kinda! LOL. I shall try and explain, but I don't know if it makes sense to anyone other than me. ;) I was a lot more interested in wicca and paganism. If I was asked what my religion was I would most likely say that I'm pagan, but I don't really do any practical stuff, like the rituals or anything, but I mark the sabbats in own way, by doing some gardening or lighting a candle, or just sitting outside. I agree with a lot of pagan and wicca creeds, but I don't agree with all.

I think part of my backing off comes from seeing people say 'I'm a vegetarian! And what they do when they slaughter animals is cruel and unkind and they shouldn't kill any animals ever!' and then the next moment say 'Here's a pic of me in my really cool leather trench coat! Don't I looked wicked in it?' I'm like '...?' LOL.

So, I have my own beliefs! They follow a lot from pagan/wicca ones, but I guess they're mainly a celtic viewpoint, as in I understand that we need to kill animals, mainly cattle for food and leather, but I don't eat any red meat. But that's more because I just find it very difficult to eat it, especially beef, for some reason, lol. But I also understand that we need to give things back to the earth in return for growing crops and such. This might come from the fact that my mum comes from a farming background, so I've been exposed to the harsh realities of farming from a early age, and in any argument between environmentalists and farmers, 99% of the time I take the farmers side. When I grow plants in the garden, they are mainly flowers and herbs that attract bees, which help pollinate my parent's vegetables, but the herbs can also be used in cooking.

So... I believe in some, and I'm definitely more pagan than christian or another main religion, but I'm following my own path with things that make sense to me. The Caroline Religion! LOL

Wow, that's a long ramble! I think I nattered a lot... :)
