Question by Elizabeth: What are some religions that are similiar to Wicca, Shamanism, Druidism…?
Okay. What are some religions that can go in a similiar grouping as Wicca, Shamanism, Druidism…? I’m interested in researching some new religions and beliefs that kind of go along those lines, to broaden my own horizons. I’m finding that I can understand some of Wicca, but I don’t necessarily agree with all of it’s philosophys. I am a very spiritual person though, but I don’t know what other religions and things there are to research. I know that Buddhism is spiritual too, but I’ve looked at belief system as well.
Please help me expand my horizons!

Paganism encompasses all of those and anything that does not fit into the religions of Judeo-Christian-Muslim origin. Paganism allows you to pick what elements you agree with and discard the rest.
Take a look at http://www.religioustolerance.com which lists many different ones.
voodoo, african healers (witchdoctors/sangomas), egyptian magick, budahism ect there are too many to name off the top of my head
God loves you… turn to him…
