Universalism and Paganism
On my own personal spiritual path, I find that my perspective is very much in line with universalism. Seeking to find truth at the center of all religious practices and beliefs tends to allow for a naturally curious, more open-minded perspective on religion in most cases. 
While I do not know of other pagans that openly identify themselves as universalist, I can understand why. Many people do try to emphasize the differences in religions, practices, and beliefs rather than the similarities, especially when they are confronted with new or altered traditions as are often present in various pagan paths.
My own personal quest has definitely involved some questioning of my fundamentally universal beliefs. I have come to believe that there certainly are both commonalities and contradictions within my own set of beliefs and those of others. This seems proven true and demonstrated in nature.
What do you think?

I’m so glad you’re writing this blog!!!
I’ve been looking for a good source of information on paganism and wicca for a long time now - without bothering a former coworker.
I will definitely be haunting your blog from time to time, not just because of the content, but I also enjoy your writing style.
Keep it up!

My parents are Christian. I remember when I was younger wanting to know the truth. Which religion should I follow? If I follow another religion apart from Christianity, will I be condemned by God ‘cos I jumped on the wrong bandwagon?
Within that same year, I was exposed to many religions. It’s not something I went to look for, they came to me. And what I learnt was that each one of these religions were connected by the need to be the best human be-ings that they could be, by love.
After that year, I stopped panicking. I felt I put out a question and it was answered.
Thank you for your blog.
