One Pagan's Journey - Paperback

by Vajk Freyasman (Author)

Have you ever wondered why a person would choose to be a Pagan or a Heathen? The very words Pagan and Heathen for most people today conjure up thoughts of people playing out medieval fantasies and crazy rituals. The fact is the Pagan community is full of some of the most humble and accepting people around. But what would make a person decide to take this path? Since deciding to take this path I have found myself on many occasions having to explain to people why I chose to become a heathen. I found that I was able to express my situation and my beliefs better through poetry than I could in just regular conversation. I decided to write this book in hopes of giving some insight to others into why a person might choose this path for themselves. Contrary to popular belief, people don't choose this path because they find it difficult to abide by the standards of other religions. In fact in many cases the standards we hold ourselves to are more stringent than many of the other religions out there. I hope that in reading these poems people can get some insight into why someone might take upon them this religion. I hope that even those that don't accept these beliefs can at least respect the decisions of others that have accepted them. I hope that those that may be thinking about this path can read these poems and realize that they are not alone. No matter who you are, no matter to what religion you adhere, no matter your ethnic background, no matter your personal lifestyle, I thank you for taking the time to read my poems and listen to my thoughts. May the Gods smile on you always Vajk Freyasman
