Re: Finding My Way
One I love Pagyptsian. She's a great person honestly! Her blog is very inspiring if you haven't checked it out.
I'd say don't worry about labels right now, you'll find as most do that your beliefs will change over time.
Either way welcome to pf!

"But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

Re: Finding My Way
Welcome to the forum, I hope you enjoy it here.
I just watched that video, and what she is describing is essentially something which is often called soft polytheism. Many Wiccans are soft polytheists, and there's no real conflict in believing that, and believing that multiple religions are true in that sense, and being a Wiccan. That said, there's also more to being a Wiccan than the rede and how one views deity. You might know this already, but pagan is an umbrella term which covers a ton of different traditions, views, beliefs, etc. Wicca is a grouping of specific pagan traditions (as there's more than one Wiccan tradition), while paganism is a much broader label that applies to many different people. Chances are if you self-identify as a pagan? Then that's probably a fine term to use. Many witches also fall under the pagan umbrella, and the term witch also covers many different beliefs, practices, and so on. Pagan and witch are both sort of general labels, and either/both are fine to use... You might someday come across a more specific label, but I agree with Aniera, it's not really something you have to stress over, either.
