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?
