    Since your wanting things to be acknowledged in an accurate and respectful way... Then refrain from using "indian" when it comes to Native People... Indians are from INDIA... Indian is a foreign word given to Native People by a foreign people.. We are Native People.. appreciate you referring to Native People in that way. Which shows respect to our traditional ways.. blessings..!

    Wow, decent overall, respectful and open.
    I only have one criticism for how "Paganism" is presented as a form of Wiccan-derived religious Witchcraft, which is not how most Pagans and reserchers on the topic use it. Paganism is usually used as an umbrella term referring to the revival and reconstruction of pre-Christian and pre-Islamic traditions, as well as such traditions that are more loosely based on those, like for example Wicca or the form of Witchcraft shown here. Most forms of Paganism hold to a multiplicity of Deities, and many have some form of magic system, but not all. Not done here, just as a general advice: don't call people Pagan who don't self-identify as such, as rhe term is a Geusen word, a reclaimed word that has negative connotations in its origin. Not everyone is comfortable with that.

    13:00 This is a slightly unusual take on this phenomenon. In my branch of British Traditional Wicca, we don't expect the deity that comes during ritual to necessarily be our own patron or even the patron of one of the circle attendents, They may be the Goddess or God specifically connected to the work we intend to do or the festival involved or even the place where the circle is held.
    We also generally have more than one deity who takes a special interest (and they don't have to be gender-specific). We're generally Celtic and, as a priest, I would consider Herne to be my prime deity but I also have powerful links to Nuada, Gwyn ap Nudd and Manannan. Odinn is also a deity who pays some attention to me, which isn't surprising because I have strong nordic connections and he also has certain folkloric connections to all four of my Gods, especially Herne, who could be a Britonisation of Odinn.
    My prime Goddess is Danu, but also Brighid and the Morrigan, who complete the Triple Goddess for me. However, a few years ago I was very specifically drawn to the Indian Goddess Durga, who is now very definitely part of my own personal pantheon. Bast is a very powerful protector goddess of our home and family, because we have seven cats and we have one or two other deities from different pantheons attached to our covenstead.

    I would of loved to have been raised in this, instead of being brought into organized religion ( i call organized bs/lies)i felt something was wrong with organized religion when they tried to teach me that witchcraft is evil. I have always felt that it's not evil at all, it's what you do with it that matters, your intentions and treating it with respect, knowing what your doing and protecting yourself while doing it. It's just like with cooking, if you're not careful you get burned. Supposedly god sacrificed his own son to the masses. I would never sacrifice my child to anyone for any reason because i'm not a monster

      In Wicca, Cernunnos, the Horned God, is god of the hunt and the male principle.

      no, as a pagan I have never seen or heard of communities doing stuff naked. Maybe a small group of same gender people. But being naked does not imply anything sexual, you are born naked but that is not sexual right? A lot of creeps join paganism because they think they will get laid during rituals and they harass younger pagan women like myself

    Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people-none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.
    “But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars-their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
    Blessed are those who wash their robes. They will be permitted to enter through the gates of the city and eat the fruit from the tree of life. Outside the city are the dogs-the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idol worshipers, and all who love to live a lie.
    YOU are loved by GOD, but evil has no place in HIS KINGDOM!

I get it, you think that God has the problem, that God is evil and so terrible, and yes that is what the devil wants you to think but that is all a lie. Your perspective is off. God is perfect and He loves us so much, and is willing to help us but if we reject His help, well we will suffer for it. People will be justly punished for the evil things they have done, not because God is trying to force them to love and obey Him, or else. God is simply advising us on the Way of Life! If we listen to God we will be very happy and our lives will be over-flowing with good things. But if you would rather have pain, torment and death because you would rather do evil things that cause pain torment and death then God has given the free will to choose to do that. By really it is pretty silly, not to listen to God. He is looking out for our best interest and HE CAN and WILL and does HELP YOU, if you will turn to Him, YOU WILL BE SO VERY HAPPY, my friend! ❤the choice is yours though, and it is the biggest most important decision of your life and i tell you this because your life is so valuable and precious!

We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, & abominable, and murderers, and immoral persons & sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone..."
