Agatha Christie, though it's almost not fair to put a mystery writer in here.  But seriously.  Check out And Then There Were None.  Dang.

That's a very refreshingly pragmatic approach.

I'm an ordained Shaman and Druid with a love of all things Celtic and Norse.

That's cool

And yes, And Then There Were None was a good book!

Tell us about the Shaman / Druid combo.  How does that work if I may ask?

South Park or The Simpsons?

You may.  In my personal spirituality, I practice Druidry.  I'm a druid in the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids.  It is a nature based religion that focuses heavily on using Celtic mythology and astrology to delve into the secrets of the world.

Shamanism is less a religion and more a practice.  I use it to do work with others.  Energy readings, tarot, runes, auras, scrying, etc.  I can do shamanic voyages and other stuff like that.

South Park.  All day.

An Ovate is the second level in OBOD.  It's basically a soothsayer.  In a sense.  There's more to it, but that's the basics of what you learn as an ovate.  I loved it.

We should talk tarot/energy stuff sometime.  I'm  curious about exploring those

I'm surprised @Aragonn hasn't chimed in here, given his own fascination with Norse mythology and culture.

How did you first come to learn about your current spiritual and religious beliefs?

I was raised Christian, but I never connected.  So one day I thought man.  It would be awesome if I could just go back to the simpler days of the old gods.  So I googled it and found out it was a lot more prominent than people think.  I started with the Norse, and still use them primarily today as my chosen deities.

But Asatru is pretty political and can be really sexist, and I don't like that, so I was looking for something else.  I found Druidry, which I love.  And Shamanism is beautiful.  Overall you could say I'm pretty eclectic.

And yes.  I was thinking of setting up a thread where I could give people readings or rituals etc.

Honestly, I have chimed in yet because I didn't know this thread existed. I'm on two different websites and three different forums as well as having a very active Skype account and playing a lot of games, so excuse me if I haven't explored the entirety of the Wintreath forum yet.

I was raised Christian as well, but like you, I never connected either. It just wasn't for me.

I connected really well with Heimdallr - almost immediately.  And the Vanir as well. 

As my nation suggests, I'm with the Aesir.

Your flag was my first clue

* Aragonn chuckles

But yeah, I'm definitely more in tune with the Aesir. I've pretty much modeled my main nation around them.
