I'm an American, with both Native American and Irish ancestry. =)
My religion is Celtic Reconstructionist Paganism, and I worship many Gods. The primary Goddess that I personally am devoted to is known as "The Morrigan" and has been my primary Goddess since I was four years old.
I've talked to people on mylot from many different nationalities and religion, which is part of what is neat about it for me. I love meeting people with different cultures and beliefs than my own. I've learned a lot from talking to these people, and I'm grateful for the opportunity.

*nods* It's not all that popular really. If you look for things on general Paganism, you find a lot, but there aren't many Celtic Reconstructionists. The most popular form of Paganism is Wicca, and some people even think it is "Celtic" but it incorporates parts of MANY old religions instead of just that one.
The major points of Celtic Reconstructionist Paganism are:
Polytheism, obviously, since it involves following multiple Gods, the pantheon of the Celts. In my case mostly Gods known in Ireland, Britain, and Wales, though actually the Celts spread across Europe at certain points of history.
Honor and personal responsibility, those are huge things. Hospitality is a large part of honor, as is protecting your family (whether that family be chosen or born into). Basically by personal responsibility I mean weighing and accepting the consequences of your actions, rather than expecting to be forgiven them.
Research is another major thing with Celtic Reconstructionism actually. The difference between Celtic Recons and other branches of paganism that use Celtic influences tends to be the amount to which they do their own study of history in order to decide what is authentically Celtic. In some cases, what's missing in history is filled in by things passed down through families (if you're lucky like me) or personal revelation (what the Gods choose to teach you themselves, basically).

I am a Canadian born West Indian (Antiqua) and Polish gal and my spiritual path (I'm not a religious person) is eclectic Pagan Buddhist (thats the absolute simplest way to word it I suppose)...Who do I worship?? LOL nobody, nothing, nowhere...i dont believe in "worshipping" because IMO that implies that we are "less than" which we aren't.....
