I ought to make a list of the pagan folks here so we can connect folks looking for like minded to follow or talk to. #cosopagans
Including you, myself and my Wife, the ones I can think of right away...

Aw, @Heucuva8 kept track. How nice.
Just a reminder, I'm actually ATHEOpagan: I don't actually believe in the supernatural stuff, but I find the community and observation of natural cycles and phenomena to be worthwhile inclusions in my life.
Have a lovely Midautumn, frens.

This; and now I know what to call myself, thank you.
I too do not believe in anything supernatural. But I care for and give thanks to nature.
After all we are a part of it, it is the reason we exist and it will still be here when we are but distant memories.
I've always liked belief systems that attribute spirituality to nature.
I have an easier time believing that over other man made deities.
Question: What then would be the opposite of this? What would you call it? If you believe in the Supernatural stuff, but not the Spirituality? 🤔
Makes me curious.
@Heucuva8 @Booga @FernLovebond Hm, well, that's a really good question. o.o;
@FernLovebond @PaganMother @Heucuva8
^^^This.
I knew somebody would have a better way of explaining than me.
@PaganMother @Heucuva8 @Booga
Uh... I guess I'd call it... fractionally less credulous?
I don't mean to be rude but the distinction between believing in supernatural stuff of one sort & not another isn't really a namable distinction to me, at least not in this case. Without knowing where you draw your lines of belief explicitly, I can't say if I'd call it "Witchcraft" or "Wicca" or "NeoPagan" or "Folk Heathenism" or whatever.
It's a little like "I believe in Christianity but not Islam." 🤷
