Some of the information there is not my idea of complete, but if used with a few other resourses, in my opinion, it is a good addition to a Favorites list of anyone.

This one is a very cool site for religions in general, but it has a belief-o-matic - which is a fun and surprisingly accurate way to determine what religious path your answer suggest you should research. When I took it - there were further links ie it identified that I was Neo-Pagan - so it sent me to a place where I could determine which branch of Neo-Pagan my beliefs matched (Druid, Wicca etc).

Even if it does seem cheesy you do have to think when answering the questions which may give you the best answers yet.

www.beliefnet.com and look for Belief-O-Matic.

A great Hindu website....

[DragonDawn]

www.sacred-texts.com/index.htm

A nice site with ALOT of reading material.
:ahhhh: :D :boing:

[Sowelu]

Those are great links! Thank You!

[SoulCatharsis]

A website I would highly recommend is http://www.whywiccanssuck.com It is extremely thought provoking. If it offends you, then maybe you there's a reason. ;^)

[Flar's Freyja]

A nonpagan friend send this one to me and I AM impressed:

Wiccan Book of Shadows:
http://wiccanbos.home.att.net/bostitle.htm

Another site similar to Witchvox:

American Wicca
http://www.americanwicca.com/

Good one on Asatru and Runes:

Earth Dancing
http://www.earth-dancing.com/default.htm

I read back the posts and don't see that any are duplicates, forgive me if any of them are.:rolleyes:

[Rubi Waters]

wow these are all great sites... thanks

[Flar's Freyja]

Very interesting site, "If Jesus were alive today, he'd be a witch"

[Kalosi]

www.sanfords.net

I was rather suprised not to see this site. That's where I got the link to Mystickwicks!

[Flar's Freyja]

:rolleyes: Ooooh, how embarrasssing!

Here's one with a free e-book:

http://www.allonewicca.com/

[Storm]

http://lughs_magick.tripod.com/index1.html

I don't know how to make this a link. I hope it works. This is a site geered toward teen pagans by a teen pagan. But it has an interesting beliefs page that is worth reading by anyone new to paganism/witchcraft.

[Flar's Freyja]

I have not yet ordered one of these, it's supposedly free with a $5 charge for shipping and handling. It's a Book of Shadows on CD and a friend highly recommends it:

http://www.freebookofshadows.com/index.html

[MoonRaven]

Wow, never thought I'd do something so shameless, but I get enough thank-you e-mails to validate it ;)

[Flar's Freyja]

http://clysmic.com/

This is so cool! It's a program that sits in your taskbar, near the
clock which has a graphic representation of the current moon phase and sign. It's free to download, but you may want to purchase the program. It's called "LunaBar." The program also has a moon void of course chart and you can customize it to be synchronized with your own geographic area.

There are two versions and it's a little confusing. Click "Software" on the home page. The download is free but the updates are not. When you download the free version you will get a message that it is not free, but if you click continue the download completes.

[Flar's Freyja]

While this one does have an online catalog, it also contains some good resources such as a decent BOS and a free program where you can calculate planetary hours. Scroll down to see them:

And a good site for more advanced practitioners:

Does that mean you're from the North-West of England? Only, I looked on witchs-brew.com and it directed me to that site for my county...

You can IM the response, if you'd rather. Plus I'll be in trouble for going Off-Topic.

Spiritual Beginnings is just that for beginners plus my site has a top ten forum thread so you can check out places like here MW is listed in my top ten because it's really great.

My site isn't just for pagan though it's for all looking to try something new I'm trying to get a basic run down of all paths in there. Take a look
