I'm Gardnerian Wiccan. I follow the same calandar as above with 13 months and 8 holidays.
I am a high priestess, which means I've gone through all required paths and numerous rituals along with 13+ years of practice. I am ordained by the Universal Life Church. That means I can legally perform wedding, funeral, and other ceremonies.
I know about and follow dozens of gods and goddesses. I believe in the Christian god, but not as my own high power. No god is higher than another. Gods and goddesses are all a manifestations of a single polar entity.
I do believe in absolute evil, but it cannot manifest itself as one being. Not even Satan. I believe the only place that can be considered close to a Christian's description of hell is right here on earth. I believe Satan is a Christian god, because most of what they do in daily or weekly ritual is centered around avoiding his wrath. This follows the definition of worship.
I do not perform "magic". I can do rituals and prayers for certain things. But I cannot type this on a keyboard without using my own fingers. I do practice things using psychic energy such as scrying.
Being Gardnerian, I do not welcome everybody to practice my beliefs. To become Gardnerian takes dedication and years of work. This is very similar to the idea of baptismal at adulthood rather than at birth. I hate when religious groups are used as trends, which is why I expect people to work to become a member.
