I believe in something. A sort of shapeless energy that exists in everything, everywhere, but that isn't "intelligent" and free-thinking. That's God, imo. A kind of force that makes things grow, or live. It gives birth, and it kills, but not out of happiness or anger, it just does 'cause it needs to be done.
I believe it's our hope, and our wishes, and our destiny. It's not set in stone, it can be manipulated, changed, bent, used.
I believe it's what people percieve as magic, or paranormal things. It's our soul, and it's what people sometimes refer to as "hivemind" or "astral projection" or "fortune telling".
Eveything exists in this energy, or rather, the energy exists in everything, and just like a scream travel in the air, thoughts or feelings can travel in this energy, and reach people far away.
I believe that when you die, if you wish to keep on going, the energy inside you (your soul) might carry memories and wishes or yourself, your personality. If you don't wish to continue you'll dissolve and mix with the rest of the universe, but either way you'll be reborn, in a way.
I don't believe there are any rules, there's no judgement. There are only the force that makes things keep on going, and it doesn't really give a f about any of us, we just happened to get born, it's our problem what we chose to make of it. To it, we're a fart in space.
The end.

This aspect of animism I really agree with. That's there's a universal "Life Force" energy that feed all things. But I also believe in other gods and entities, mostly because I've experienced them. But like us, those gods and entities are also connected by this Life Force.
From a more religious viewpoint, I do worship and honor multiple gods. Because they've called to me and I've answered them. I'm a pagan! ^_^

Hey guys! Nice comments (:
I personally don't believe in any all-powerful beings that have an influence on mine/anyones life, however I do believe there is some 'force' as said before. However, due to the scientist in me, I can't help but believe that it is all just natural human senses that haven't yet been proven to exist with science, but say for example, a loved one, or someone you know but don't always see, passes away... sometimes us humans can just kind of 'sense' that this has happened before being notified of their death.
This may be strange, but this happened to me when my friends dog died. That morning as soon as I opened my eyes I thought of my friends dog and how happy he always was (even though he was morbidly obese and could barely walk e.e) and I missed that dog and wanted to see him. Later on that day I discovered that he had died that morning, he couldn't walk anymore and he had to be put to sleep (poor guy) I have heard lots of stories of people 'sensing' when someone goes. I cannot say whether this is a natural sense in all of us, or if it is caused by a 'force' of some kind. It does make me wonder sometimes

I'm the odd one in my family. My dad's side is Atheist and my mom's side is Catholic Christian, but growing up they never forced their beliefs on my sisters and I, so I guess that's how I ended up being interested in Wicca. As a Wiccan I believe in both a god and goddess who created the universe together and rule over it equally.
