sorry this is long !! we're new in witchy things but have various religious and pagan beliefs so i thought this would be fun to answer :)
yes, absolutely; we have trouble identifying if we're genuinely hearing from something beyond or if we're having a mental health episode, but regardless of our mental health we definitely believe they exist and try to be wary/respectful
we believe everyone gets some sort of afterlife; it frankly isn't our business the specifics and we struggle to believe one thing or another as the objective truth, but we definitely believe there is some sort of life beyond for everyone
since we are a system it varies from person to person, but we generally identify as omnist and believe that everyone's faith is at least a little bit right. our personal journey veers more towards christopaganism and a little bit of polytheism between system members. we don't read many holy texts outside of research, but we pray frequently and show respect to nature and the dead and each other :)
a mix of both; we believe to some extent everything will work out the way the god(s) intended, but within that we have free will to do what we want
yes definitely! we believe lots of, if not all dreams have Some kind of meaning, even if they aren't necessarily an omen
we wear a cross necklace given to us by our great aunt, but one thing we want to work towards is getting talismans and charms that reflect the rest of us as a system!
energy is definitely a thing we believe in, we think that some people can sense it more than others, but it's absolutely possible in our opinion to be able to sense energy and react accordingly
we observe most of the christian holidays because our host identifies under that religious umbrella, including lesser-known holidays like ash wednesday and maundy thursday, which are big cornerstones in our belief. we also celebrate samhain and a few helpol holidays!
it varies heavily from member to member, but across all of us we worship the christian god, apollo, hera, dionysus, eir, the dagda, the mórrígan, and danú :) these are the beings we feel most connected to and feel like really hear us and hold us when we cry out. we tend towards parental/mother/father deities in general, but sometimes feel called towards others
we really don't use a lot of tools, we're more worship based, but we love providing offerings like grains and little trinkets
amethyst! unsure why, we've just always felt a tug towards it and have quite a few little amethyst things
probably water, it's where we've felt the most at home. our practice includes appreciating the cycle of life and death, so holding reverence for water as both a lifebringer and something that can cause great damage is something we appreciate
cast and then forgotten, we are still very new to spells but we enjoy just letting out energy into the universe and letting it do what it may
we would love to visit a lot of places in ireland, as a body with celtic heritage we feel very drawn to it and want to observe the mounds, wells, etc and learn more about the pagan history of the area
unsure! to some extent we do think there is a sense of everything working out in the end, but we haven't thought a whole lot about karma specifically, especially because we don't know much about it besides the common understanding of it. it would be interesting to look into more!
thanks so much for reading all of this, and sorry again for the length! even though we might not be exactly what you were looking for, this was a lot of fun for us to answer !!
