I've been studying many religions for months now, and I've found not one that I am comfortable with.
My bare personal beliefs are as follows:
Reincarnation, when the soul learns enough it passes on, to what I can't say.
Either numerous individual entities as in Asatru or just aspects of one as in Wicca both seem plausible to me... I have a hard time believing in one single entity.
Practices of magick, divination,alchemy,psi etc. are accepted.
No "believe me or suffer" crap.
93,
you may like Shintoism then, you need to look past the illussion created by the short lived State Shintoism and the royal version down to the heart of the belief system and you may find what I feel many who turn to Wicca are looking for, a none dogmatic personal connection within and in nature with divine connections.
(also no scripture at all) it believed to be more a personal connection with nature and with your own higher self.
Good luck 93 93/93
