Hi, I too am a practising Christian, but it doesn't mean that you can't enjoy the experience of others beliefs ! I see Paganism as being the early roots of Christianity - after all a lot of the Church festivals are centered round the Old Pagan Celebrations! Myself and our local vicar have been looking at this recently with my after school Folk & Traditions group. If you want to visit a FANTASTIC Pagan ritual, Go to Padstow on Mayday... It is wonderful - and there is trad singing in most of the pubs all day and night!!!! Well worth a visit if you've not been. Have a great time wherever you are - and whatever you believe! Lucy
