You are really where you need to be. When it comes to metaphysics and spirituality, question everything. I have been on this path for an awfully long time; I talk to the dead, have visions, and overall, very psychic. I never stop asking questions, including my favorite after a vision: Where the heck did that come from? ;-)\n\nAt this point, don't allow others to define you or what you should be doing. You say that you are Native American and born with the gift of healing. If that is true, then you know you have a very special gift---why not explore that and just see where it leads? Find other people with this gift and learn from them for the sake of learning. Do not lock yourself into anything, just explore, learn, and leave no stone unturned. This includes studying as many beliefs and ideas as you can pack into your brain, including (especially) myths and legends. Below is a site that is a good place to start.\n\nAll the best to you...

I don't know any group that reads more than Pagans! \n\nThere's a book called Wise Woman... er something about the Child Bearing Year, by Susun Weed that she might like.\nOr Circle Round by Starhawk (I am not a personal fan of this because it doesn't relate to my tradition in the slightest, but alot of people I know rave about it)\nA subscription to Blessed Bee Magazine might be nice. That's a Pagan parenting magazine.\n\nPregnancy is a very special time in a Pagan woman's life as she gets to serve as a vessel of creation, the image of the Goddess incarnate, a living celebration of Her gift to women of the power of creation. Anything that will help her commemorate or celebrate this time will be wonderful as well as anything to pamper her to honor the Goddess in herself, especially in a natural, organic or aromatherapeutic way.\nMotherlove gift basket here might be appreciated http://store.kidbean.com/2000013.html\n\nMeditation or nature sound CDs are nice for the labor room too. If she's into it. Not all Pagans are that far out. Stay away from the Goth and Hot Topic stuff too, though someone suggested it, contrary to popular belief, the majority of Pagans are, in fact, not into the Goth scene. Granted, quite a few are, but if you assume she is, she'll probably just be offended. Wouldn't you be offended if someone bought you a Pilgrim outfit cause they heard you were Christian?\n\nIf you want to go for candles, or candle holders, as so many other folks are suggesting (and it's true we can never have too many) some symbolic shapes relating to pregnancy, fertility and having a healthy baby are the cauldron, a Goddess image with a pregnant belly, of course, anything involving the union of male and female, wells, fruiting trees, any sort of fruit, rabbits, eggs, birds. Mother and child images are also very nice and you can find lots of them. I personally get weepy over these.\n\nYour first poster is ignorant. Most Pagans already own Bibles and have read them cover to cover multiple times.

There is Wicca.  You can start there and decide which path you want to take.  For the written word I would look for Scott Cunningham and Raymond Buckland.  Both are wonderful for descriptions and simple to more involved rituals.  With Mr. Cunningham I would start with the book "Wicca for the Solitary Practitioner", as for Mr. Buckland I would suggest "The Complete Book Of Witchcraft".  Another really good author is Starhawk and the book entitled "The Spiral Dance".\n\nAnd you can go from there.  You are correct that there are MANY different religions under the umbrella of Pagan.  You will discover which is right for you, it will just seem right.   If you are looking for an on-line study course I would suggest Circle of Stars.  It is a yahoo group with a bunch of wonderful people for teachers and mentors.  I wish you luck on your path and the brightest of blessings.   :)\n\nSo I'm not the only Pagan around...glad to see you all.  :)

We actually do have several Pagan AA groups where I live.  Definitly talk with the person who posted above about it and check to see if you can find other Pagan AA groups out there to see if there's already one in your area or to talk to other organizers of said groups. You can likely find listings for them at www.witchvox.com\n\nGood luck!

I have heard that "Northern Mysteries and Magic" by Freya Aswinn is good, but I haven't read it. Check out sunnyway.com/runes, there is a lot of good information there.

It's spelled "Tarot," and yes, they certainly do work.  Some people use them primarily for divination, but I mostly use them for character readings.  It takes years to learn to read well, and if you lived near Boulder Creek, California, I would be happy to teach you.  \n\nThere are some web sites about Tarot (always capitalized), but I won't make any recommendations, because I do not believe it is the sort of thing you can learn well over the Internet.  At one time I thought I'd start a web Tarot teaching site, but having checked out the ones that already exist, I'm now skeptical of this remote method.  There are too many things to say about the symbolism and the details of their use which cannot be imparted to the entire world.\n\nMy best advice is to buy a copy of the Rider-Waite deck, the book which is most user-friendly when you examine a group of them in the bookstore, and read the cards yourself.  \n\nTry not to be frightened by what you get!  For example, the first time I had the same card come up in the same position in three readings in a row, I got considerably spooked.  Now I just say, "Well, I must have missed something about this in the first two readings, because the cards are being insistent."  I try not to let it bother me, but merely ponder what I may have missed.

*Muttering for some of my better answers this last week got caught in those deletions*\nI myself am a rather strange mixture of eastern (mostly Buddhist), druidic and shamanistic beliefs. As to information sources, this one seems pretty good for a one stop comparison of most major religions including wicca. http://www.religionfacts.com

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.

I've mixed and matched. The Greek pantheon, the Celts and a few here and there that I've learned about. I think it's a matter of the subject - a God/Goddess will speak/reach out to you depending on what you are going through.\n\nOr you can be reading about many different Gods/Godesses and suddenly you are drawn to one even though it may be different from the pantheons you usually work with.\n\nI don't think it's a matter of who believe in as much as it matters that you believe.

Find a Universalist Unitarian Fellowship. They have a group that is affiliated with them called CUUPs (Covenant of the Universalist Unitarian Pagans). This is usually a group of people who follow various paths that get together to observe and celebrate the Sabbats and Esbats. Also, go hang out at any metaphysical stores you can find. Let the shop owner/s know you are looking for a teacher.
