Hail Freya, it's Friday!
For this week’s I'm reviving an age-old pagan debate.
This is a two-part question:

Do you think cursing/hexing is an acceptable practice?

Have you done it?

I'm wondering how common it is to give offerings, as a pagan practice. Choose all that apply to you.

Paganism is nature-centered, but not everyone has an easily accessible, semi-private area to actually practice outside. Also, weather happens. So I'm wondering:

What percentage of your practice happens outdoors?

Businesses don't close on Pagan holidays, unfortunately. So for today's I'm wondering what you usually do about work when they land during the middle of the week.

This week I'm asking about your conversion to Paganism versus where you started, in general terms.

Most pagans celebrate the cycle of the seasons. The thing about circles is that they don't really have an end/beginning, so everyone has their own idea on when a new cycle begins for them.

What day do you consider the seasonal ‘New Year’ in your practice?

It's estimated 1 in 5 (US) households is interfaith, meaning they have at least two people who practice different religions. (For this poll, I'm defining paganism as a religion)

Do you primarily live in an interfaith household?

When I started learning witchcraft, the majority taught that a spell should not be performed on someone without their consent, even benefic ones like healing or protection. I'm wondering how much/if this opinion has changed.

Would you do a spell (or pray) on someone without their consent?

The Pagan path is winding, and it's actually encouraged to explore all different flavors and traditions until you find one that's right for you.

How many did you try out before the one you’re on right now?

@Cat_LeFey@pagan.plus avatar

Today's is a question I've asked before, but I've met a lot of new people in the last year:

How many altars do you currently have?

I'll leave the definition of an altar up to you, because I think that what makes something an altar is believing it is one.

Today's in honor of the Lady, Freya:

Have you ever had an ecstatic experience?

For the purposes of this poll, I'm using this definition: "A psychic displacement, a transcendent experience of an inner vision of a god, or of one's relation or union with the divine."

This is a phenomenon reported by witches that happens after working some moon magick; tired, foggy, headache the next morning, bad sleep/wierd dreams.
