Studying Paganism - Ethnographic Research Paper - Need Community Feedback & Response

[Murdoque]

Hello All! I Am currently doing a long piece of research and i am in need of your help!

I am a student conducting a Ethnographic study on Contemporary Paganism in our world today and i am hoping to get valuable feedback from communities like this that i can put to use and learn from while finishing this piece of work.



Paganism has long been an interest of mine and i recently was tasked to create a Ethnographic The branch of anthropology that deals with the scientific description of specific human cultures. Survey covering the Pagan religion.

What i was looking for is answers to a couple of formulated questions, as well as any additions of your own that you think could assist me in my task. Anything and Everything is Welcome!

1. When were you introduced to Paganism? (or a branch within)
   
2. When did you realize your faith?
   
3. How long have you praticed Paganism?
   
4. How often do you practice your belief?
   
5. Did you convert from another religion?
   
6. What does the Pagan Belief system give you?
   
7. What is the common response from those around you about your beliefs?
   
8. Are you open about your religious beliefs with outs (even strangers)?
   
9. If you weren't Pagan, what Religion or Belief system could you most relate to?
   
10. Comments on how Pagans are commonly misconstrued in society?
    
11. What are some of the rituals/ceremonies you engage in?

You can also, like mentioned above, add on any Q/A's that you think i might have overlooked. Any feedback is good feedback

Thanks and look forward to your response!

...the Pagan religion...

What does the Pagan Belief system give you?

Others may correct me if I've gotten it wrong, but I think your survey is going to have a problem because there is no "the Pagan religion". Paganism is an umbrella term for a whole slew of different religious practices and beliefs, and your questions approach Paganism like we all have the same basic tenets, or core beliefs (especially the question quoted).
