I am a Pagan anglo-Catholic, which is a rather entertaining combination. In essence, I believe that an all-powerful, omniscient God can work just as easily through spells and the tarot as through prayer and prophecy, that there is ample room in the idea of a triumvirate God for a Goddess aspect (God is obviously genderless anyway, and genders are simply something that we cannot imagine something without, so we impose a gender upon Her - and I choose female pronouns as opposed to male ones, as if we're picking our own the only reason we pick male is years of sexual oppression.) and that God appreciates worship just as much by any means-be it through prayer, or service, or song, or sex, or the sheer enjoyment of life, or nature.
Trying to find a balance between Paganism and Christianity is always amusing, but the two are far more compatible than you'd think. The spring festival I celebrate is most definitely Easter, the commemoration of the death and resurrection of Christ, but the winter festival I choose is far more like Yule, the winter solstice, the turning of the year.
