What exactly do *you* believe in?

What god/desses do you believe in?
My "experiences" were with the Aesir and Olympians. It always confused me as many people universalize and relate pantheons together, instead of different developments/pantheons all together. I had experiences with numerous deities from various cultural pantheons, Scandinavia/Germanic/Slavic, Celtic/ Irish, Greek, Hindu, Japanese/Asian. It's really hard to explain it all as the universal group will insist I am completely delusional.

But as far as "believe" I expect nothing from them and really only abide with their reoccurring presence in my life, they grow distant at times then come back, in my brain tv. It's like they communicate telepathically, comical I know..

What is your path? Indifferent. I am left no reason to commit to any party or prove my faith by their instruction. They seem relatively indifferent towards re-establishing organized worship. It as if I am left to believe all of this carnage and blood shed is a series of tumultuous tragedies as well as the exacted wrath of various Gods. For now they seem relatively at peace and abide by each other.

Do you believe in the three-fold law? No, I certainly don't entirely deserve my misfortune. But am also told nothing unfortunate enough to be born into this world deserved to suffer. All I have learned is others willingness to commit sadism on others in some misplaced sense of "three fold law."

What sorts of magical creatures do you believe exist? I don't know. I like proof and tend to agree with the Atheists, even with my convincing experiences. I am open minded, but do I believe in all of the mythical creatures? No... Like Heracles, I would love to believe in the legend of Heracles, but we've not discovered a single Centaur.

If you are a Witch, what are some of your experiences with spells, curses and charms?

Not a witch but have views on them. I believe they were pioneers in science and medicine in the early ages. The more arcane studies I am not educated on and am skeptical, but they were studying things modern scientists are today. Things like inter-dimensional communication and like the typical "magic." It's truly unfortunate so many innocent women and men suffered during the centuries. It's like a lot of their studies and knowledge that was confiscated and went through the church as well and back into practice. Math, arithmetic, medicine, sciences all were re-purposed by whatever religious organization, made it Christian or Islamic (not all of it), then went on to disgrace the pagans.

I also view the "Witches" view on the Gods as well, they abide by them but didn't really worship them.. They found reverence in the seemingly supernatural force of nature. It too seems sentient at times to me.
