"i have choosen my path for pagan whis is celtic what is next?"\n\nYour next step is to start reading through Celtic Pagan websites, and trying to meet other Celtic Pagans for guidance.\n\nHere are some recommended websites:\nhttp://imbas.org/\nhttp://www.adf.org/core/\nhttp://www.keltria.org/index.htm\n\nI highly recommend that you join the forums and discussion lists of these organizations, and read through their reading lists.  Stay far far away from DJ Conway, OBOD, and Wicca - none of which is authenticly Celtic.\n\n"i need to fine god and goddess right? "\n\nNot necessarily.  There's no rule in reconstructionist Paganism that you have to limit yourself to the worship of only one God and one Goddess from the pantheon you've dedicated yourself to.  Perhaps you've confused Celtic Paganism with Wicca.\n\nHere are some links on the Celtic Pantheon(s):\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=celtic+pantheon&btnG=Google+Search\n\nAnd here's an article on why Wicca is not Celtic:\nhttp://home.comcast.net/~uberrod/text4.html\n\n"do i also have to find my lenage like find if i am a star or a bubble or a monkey?"\n\nHuh?  Lineage is a Wiccan concept, which is again not Celtic.  I'm not sure where you're getting this star/bubble/monkey business.  Sounds like you've possibly got some really strange ideas of what the phrase "Celtic Paganism" means.

First, you need to learn more about Wicca.  Different denominations have different beliefs and structures, and you need to find which is right for you.  Some have covens, some do not.  It all depends on which direction you go in.  And trust, me there are plenty of directions.  \n\nwww.witchvox.com is a great website.  Also check out\nhttp://www.witchs-brew.org/\nhttp://www.witchology.com/\nhttp://wiccanet.us/\nhttp://www.bewitchingways.com/wicca/wicca.htm\nhttp://www.wiccan-refuge.com/\nhttp://www.witchway.net/\nhttp://www.betwixt.org/\n\nSomeone else talked about SilverRavenWolf, who is a popular Wicca author.  You'll find her stuff often at places like Barnes and Noble.  Personally, I think she is a money grubbing nut.  Her books are about her particular brand of Gardnerian Wicca that she developed.  Her covens all have to swear loyalty oaths to her... and buy all her books.  I personally think shes a freak... but I know people who have found her to be a great stepping stone into the path.  I just wanted to tell you this to give you a realistic idea of the divisions within Wicca/Neo-paganism.  It's not all happy fluffy earth worship, there are real debates and real ideological differences.  Like any group, we have our share of greedy selfish people, strong opinions about our paths, and general weirdos. Every religion has its nuts and charletans, the key is for you as a critical thinker to identify and decide how you feel about them.\n\nAs far as books, here is a short list I would recommend\nThe Power of the Witch by Laurie Cabot (old and a little kitchy, but the author is great at hitting the emotional draw of Wicca)\nThe Spiral Dance by StarHawk\nDrawing Down the Moon : Witches, Druids, Goddess-Worshipers, and Other Pagans in America Today by Margot Adler\nWicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cnningham\nWhen Someone You Love Is Wiccan: A Guide to Witchcraft and Paganism for Concerned Friends, Nervous Parents, and Curious Co-Workers by Carl McColman\nContemporary Paganism: Listening People, Speaking Earth by Graham Harvey\nThe Triumph of the Moon : A History of Modern Pagan Witchcraft by Ronald Hutton\n\nOr if none of these seem right, you may be more of a Neo Pagan.  I personally draw my belief system for Assyrian mythology and various practices of various pre-christian Mediterranean religions, with a couple of elements Wicca in on the side.  What myths or regions speak to you?  Learn and find out how to draw them together.  \n\nIf you find yourself ready to find a coven or a nesting or a group of some kind, then find a local new age store in your area and ask around, or check about on-line.  Go to a gather or an event and meet people.  Sometimes getting in can be a bit difficult, because wiccans don't proselytize so people can take a while to find us.  But its worth the time and effort.

paganism?  From what I could find on the net it seems similar to Norse mythology.  \n\nThis website had some interesting information.\n\nhttp://www.englishheathenism.homestead.com/pagangods.html

Absolutely you can - a dear friend of mine who lives in Hull just recently got married in a Pagan ceremony there.\n\nCongrats!\n\nMay the Lord and Lady rain blessings on your union!\n\nI'm not sure how you'd find a Pagan Prist/ess, but there MUST be some sort of online networking going on.

the wiccan rede cites all for all not just one god, so if you are open enough to your self you will begin the journey of yourself and your belief in ALL things bigger than self.i implore you to study your needs and follow the pathe of light because without it there can be no dark, the Lourde&Ladye will wrap you in the light of the sun and bring you full circle to a long and blessed journey. to be wiccan is to follow your heart, and to understand that the creator what ever she is, finds endearment for those that move in unison with the green world she has entrusted us to. please go to www.witchtopia.com to, and above all never be drawn in to believeing in anything less than belief

By taking a close look at yourself. What do you believe? Do you feel connections with nature and others in the world around you?\n\nDo lots of research on pagan religions. (there are many) Find people of like mind, and have a good support group. Read books, talk to other pagans, search on the net. Question everything!!!\n\nOne author I recomend for Wicca is Scott Cunningham. in the new age section at a bookstore will have many books on pagan related subjects.\n\nHere are a few websites that may help you out.\nhttp://paganwiccan.about.com/od/paganism/\nhttp://paganwiccan.about.com/cs/wicca101/tp/aatpbeg_books.htm\nhttp://witchvox.com\nhttp://www.religioustolerance.org/paganism.htm\nhttp://www.bloomington.in.us/~pen/mpagan.html

Hey Colleen, \n I feel I should inform you that Wicca is a religion with a great reverence for nature. It is not a teen clique you can join, and learn to do "spells and stuff". If you are really interested in Wicca as a religion, you can do a search on the internet, and get the basic idea of what Wicca is all about. If all you want to do is "cast spells", please do not even consider Wicca. It is not for you.

You'll find Celtic most common, I think.  I personally am drawn to the Greek pantheon.\n\nBut no, there isn't really a rule against which pantheons you choose to relate to.  It is, however, often said that you shouldn't *mix* pantheons (i.e. honoring or calling Bast and Hecate to the same circle, or working with Thor and Lugh at the same time), but that's more because of the energies that each of the Deities bring with them, IMHO.

All the above links are great ones, I just hope that you want to walk the Spiral Path because it calls to you and not because you think its cool or that you want to wear black and scare little kids/your parents by proclaiming that you are a witch.\n\nIf you are serious I'd get some books to study at home, as well as online.  Wicca--A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham is great starting point.
