Pagan[edit]

  • The poetic and prose eddas, bits of the book of the dead (only slightly more interesting than the bible) plus some other odds and ends. --JeєvsYour signature uses all my CPU time... 19:57, 17 December 2007 (EST)
  • I've read the Eddas and a few other sagas, the Tao Te Ching and the Chuangzi, the Book of Five Rings. I've started (but failed to finish) the Koran (my translation was given to overly elaborate turns of phrase), the Book of Hermes Trismegistus (not what I thought it was), the Analects (read like the grumpiest old man ever wrote it), and the Satanic Bible (Ayn Rand meets religion). If I think of more (there should be more) I'll come back here. Researcher 19:59, 17 December 2007 (EST) Oh, yeah, the Mabnogion, Promethea, currently reading the Kybalion, some of the Gnostic books, and more books on "witchcraft" than I care to admit. (Some are good...some, not so much.)
  • Aradia, The mabnogion, and all the Promethea books! Totnesmartin 18:51, 9 April 2008 (EDT)
