The Pagan's Path ~ Witchcraft & Shamanism

Here you will find information to learn about the basics of the religion of Witchcraft, a few of it's traditions, and general magik. What you need, and how to get started, and what you need to consider as you practice this spiritual path. Learn a little history of Ireland, magik and witchcraft. Get an understanding of the basic principles, beliefs and practices of pagans through ritual, ceremony and a spiritual way of life.
 
I'd like to make it clear that this site is not Wiccan and nor am I. This site is dedicated to pagan beliefs as a whole, which includes many traditions of Witchcraft and Shamanism, Wicca being only one of the many.

Traditions: Celtic
These sections are categorized in 2 parts. The spiritual, or religious knowledge shared by Celtic pagan practioners (on the left), and the academic view of historical information (on the right). Science, anthropology and archeology of today is constantly growing and breaking new ground that supports or even proves the information passed down through spiritual lineage. Because there is much debate between these 2 schools of thought, it is important to research both. Please note - This is NOT Celtic Wicca.
Druidism:
I'm not well versed on Druids or Druidism so I have enlisted help for this section. I would like to make a special dedication and huge Thank you to my friend Curtis (ThunderWolf) and especially his friend Mark (SeniorDruid) for all their help with this section.

Traditions: Wicca
Wicca is a sect or denomination of the religion of Witchcraft. It was established by Gerald Gardner in the 1950s and is based on a combination of traditions experienced and learned by Gardner. Wicca is a very structured practice of Witchcraft, incorporating initiations into it's advancement or hierarchy of leadership. Many interchange the label Wicca with Witchcraft, but that is not an accurate substitution. There are many traditions within the religion of Witchcraft, Wicca is just one of the many.

Just a little disclaimer, for those who might mis-interpret the information beyond this page.
I am from a Celtic and Cherokee heritage. The articles here are my thoughts, opinions and beliefs that combine those two paths. They are in no way meant to be a representation of 'The Celtic' or 'The Cherokee' traditional beliefs. Rather the information contained here in the General Section and the Pagan's Path Grimoire are a combination of family teachings, Metaphysical Study, Indo-European Shamanistic, Celtic lore, Cherokee philosophy and many years of personal study, experience, practice and personal growth.
I believe information, especially spiritual information should be shared freely. It is up to you to decided what you believe. No one way is right or wrong. Simply take what "feels" right to you, and discard the rest. Examine all information you receive carefully. Do your own research and look for your truth within yourself. That is the true nature of the divine spirit within us all.
