Have you ever wondered why some people should not be pagan or why some people should be and is not it? Sure do not sound anything strange when I say that there are people shouting out there that is pagan believing a fairy or an angel (¡!), and at the same time there are people who saw that scene, fleeing from paganism and the African thinking is an RPG for people who are bored at home and not go out on weekends.
Well, I've been wondering that, among other things that cause and arising from this situation, and I have reached the following conclusion: a pagan confused with wanting to reach spiritual excellence.
At first, we all do, light new beliefs that embrace us blind, and we want to know more and more, until you reach a point where we want to "master" these beliefs, and we want it to be authorities. That to me seems normal in the heater of the moment. What I do not seem normal, everyone seems to stay in that phase. For people whose personality is very mystical and able to reach that level of rapport with the gods or spirits of tradition, fine. But there are people who are not spiritual, and are forced to because they think it will be more in touch with the gods, or the Other World, or to anyone in whom believe. At such times, people who should be exploiting more constructive aspects of their being is put aside and try to over-exploit or have skills. But no, people are forced to find and discover all the secrets ... Let's think for a moment, the pagan religions are not based on the secret after secret. There is only one religion (pagan "perhaps?) Whose aim is hysterical tradition and watertight, and that is the Wicca. The secrets are reserved for the priestly class in LA most religions, or do not the rituals of the Greek Vestal, Druids and other rituals were open to the public? What the public would take it? Nothing, in fact they were banned entry, and it seems few will care. Of course, if you're not the best, you're not nothing, right?
Logically, this creates a dilemma for religious practitioners on the one hand everyone wants to know God, practice, worship in which you believe, but if everyone was high priest, who would govern? Imagine a country full of Hindu Brahmins what's the point? And is it necessary? "Only cool if you're up at all? Why not? What do you need craftsmen, warriors or slaves? For nothing. You maintain (without whom they would not last two days) is secondary and dispensable.
From my point of view, I think I'll be a bit anti-establishment, I was not born to be a priestess, nor to be a Brahmin, nor to be druid, not the gods that I hear less.
I guess what I am about to say will hurt a lot, but I hope that what I read that correctly: sometimes we should look at the Christians. Do all claim to be cardinals and popes? No, only people with mystical attitudes and prepared for that kind of spiritual life carried out a path like that. The others include their faith in their daily lives, in a more or less obvious, and no one judged to be more or less Christian (except for rare occasions).
Then I will say, "I can not do rituals, called gods or anything like that? For nothing. Also to remind you that this is a personal opinion, I remind you that we should use some common sense. If you had some skills, aptitudes, and interests before a pagan, "now will be discarded and will try to make you an ascetic who lives in the Underworld? Well let me warn you that it will explode sooner or later, and you could adjust your beliefs to your personality, not vice versa, because then you're lying all your life, and end up running away from it because you can not meet the expectations placed on the higher ranks (although in reality, we are all valid at all).
With all this I only pretend to think about the path choose, and if we need to force both to discover secrets that you may not need. Eye, that does not discredit whole tradition based on it, or organizations engaged in all that, but I hope and I guess all the people who invested many years in something like that is because they are made for that.
