r/CelticPaganism

Hello, this is my first time using Reddit, so please be kind.

I’ve been looking for a religion or spiritual path to turn to for quite some time now. I was Christian when I was younger, but I lost my faith very early on. Today I’m in my twenties, and my beliefs have changed a lot.

I would like to find a spiritual framework or tradition that fits better with who I am now. At the moment, I do not believe in any personal god, but I remain open to different ideas.

What I believe in today is more connected to the universe and nature. I feel that the universe is conscious, or at least that there is some form of intelligence or global balance. I also believe that our choices are strongly influenced by who we are deep down, as if our “inner self” guides our decisions more than pure free will.

I am very interested in natural cycles, especially the cycles of the Moon and the seasons. I also like the idea of rituals, traditions, and celebrations connected to nature and its rhythms. I also personally believe in a form of energy within stones and natural elements.

Without necessarily believing in a literal way, I am also drawn to mythological figures and ancient spiritual traditions. I like the idea of a connection with nature, the elements, and something greater than ourselves.

I also believe that nature works in its own way and that there is some form of karma or balance in the world, even if I cannot fully define it.

However, I do not relate to religions centered around one or multiple Gods, as I feel more centered on the Universe itself. I remain open, though.

I am simply looking for suggestions of spiritual paths, movements, or religions that might match this worldview, or communities that practice this kind of spirituality.

Thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to reply.

Also I wanted to say through some research I heard about Druidism, Paganism, Animism, Pantheism. But I don’t know which one fit the most with my beliefs. And it is actually not that easy to find information on internet..

Hello everyone
I had a lovely dream today where a male, nature, warrior god appeared to me. He showed himself wearing a metal helmet with elk size antlers that covered his entire head except for his mouth. He was also wearing armor and a cape/ robe.

I thought this may be Cernunnos due to the fact I went into the forest to find him and the very prominent horns. However this being struck me as more of a warrior type. Anyone have a lead as to who it might be?

Do feathers or other found items have a significance or is it more of a personal thing?

I recently came back from my first trip to Ireland, visiting mainly the area one side of my family is from.

Before the trip, I tried to manifest finding magical items while I was there. On the day before I left, I was wandering around a meadow by a farm. I came across two, big, beautiful feathers, from either a raven or crow, each found in a different spot.

I took them home and cleaned them, freezing them and everything.

I have them up on my altar now and they feel like they are charged with strong energy, moreso than anything else I have. I’ve incorporated them into my rituals and prayers. I know crows are associated with the Morrigan and perhaps and it’s an opportunity to build a stronger relationship.

How do some of you use found items? What kind of items have you found that you’ve added to your practice?

Has anyone ever thought that The Dagda could be seen as a younger(ish) form of Odin? They share a lot of similarities and not as many differences unless I have missed some, which is very possible, but just wanting to see what some of y'all thought of this. As a Druidic Heathen I typically worship both as the same under different names, I mean one is the great good father and the other is the All Father. It seems like a pretty rational jump from my perspective.

Genuine question, there multiple Dagda or is The a Celtic name that so happens to also be spelled similar to the word the?
