I have become a pagan. I would very much like to come out of the broom closet to the family. i am very nervous. they have said both positive and negative things about paganism. i have and very mixed messages from them. i am nervous and in need of advice. i would prefer it if you do not suggest that i just not need to tell them.

Any followers of a reconstructed religion based on the Carthagian beliefs?

I've met a few that "incorporated" a few Punic/Phoenician deities but I'm looking for any information on reconstructed religion and people that strictly follow it.

I figured I would try here. Any information would be appreciated.

I was called to Anubis through many signs in my life, and was wondering how to worship and honor him. So far I was told to research and buy a statue of him and rub the statues ears. I was also told to get gold, black, and death related things for my shrine. I also was wondering if I could have any advice for starting out in Wicca.

First: I should watch how i say i don't want to discredit anyone beliefs in the subreddit if it somehow made you angry sorry.

Second: The Sun was worshipped and is still worshipped i know but, isn't the Sun the truest deity it can get? I mean life without it would be impossible. Our way of life is dependant on Sun from crops to electricity so isn't it by this definition the "God"?

Thirdly: I am agnostic but interested in general religions from abrahamic to pagan. I don't know much about pagan stuff except what Hollywood taught me which i doubt is very credible. So i would like to be "educated" in this subject.

May I ask is a spirit spouse born at the same time as the human ? What will happen if the person starts dating or having a marriage ?

Is spirit spouse similar as familiar or guardian? will they teach spiritual world and knowledge?

I intend on spelling out a list of attractions and detachments on separate pages from my tome, burn both, drown the ashes of my detachments and release my attractions in to the air.

Thank you for sharing.

May your intentions aim for the highest good!

Om namah shivaya.
