A place for pagans of all shapes and sizes to discuss their faith and practice.

No bigotry of any sort will be allowed. That means NO FOLKISM.

Please keep the discussion respectful and pagan centric. You don't have to be a pagan to participate, but you must respect its adherents and tenets and keep the discussions relevant to paganism. Paganism is an umbrella term for a very diverse range of religious and spiritual beliefs, so please be inclusive and accepting of people's differing beliefs and opinions.

I suppose I should at least add a caveat to this. Strictly speaking, I'm an atheist and I'm doing this in a way to connect with my ancestors. As such I'm looking largely into the deities and mythological creatures of the British Islands. At the moment I'm largely looking at Welsh folklore and am reading the Mabinogion. Eventually I want to look at Irish and Scottish lore and whatever English stuff I can find. My emphasis is largely in Celtic mythology, not Christian or Anglo-Saxon. (Well, okay. Learning what differences might exist between Woden and Oden might be fun but that's not what calls to me.)

Given how inactive this place seems to be (not that I'm surprised but I really want to embrace alternatives to Reddit), I don't really know if I expect an answer, but if anyone has anything they'd recommend for me to read or watch, I'd appreciate it.

Aside from the Mabinogion, I've mainly watched videos from Mhara Starling and Kris Hughes. If possible, I'd like to know if suggested media is reconstructionist or eclectic or neopagan. At this point I admittedly am still trying to figure out how to navigate misinformation.
