Shanda-ism is:
- Pagan
- Eclectic
- Focused on the Elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water
- Honoring the Moon, especially her full stage
- Recognizing and celebrating the Seasonal changes, primarily on the changes within Nature
- Balanced in as many ways possible
- Belief in Animism, Pantheism, Humanism, and reincarnation
- Supports, nurtures, and gives back to the Pagan community that is my own
- Influenced by Wicca, ADF Druidism, Buddhism, Huna, Native American Shamamism, and Feri Tradition
- It's a little bit Hedge Witch-based
- When I practice magick, it is Grey Witchcraft - embracing both good and bad/light and dark while fully understanding the consequences of all actions
- Belief in Karma as both fear- and love-based
- Has guidelines, not rules, that are based on my personal morals and ethics
- Incorporating labyrinths and animals when possible
- Mostly solitary but does play well with others
- Encourages family participation and exploration
Shanda-ism is not:
- Christian
- Highly structured
- Deity-driven
- Focused on Magic(k)
- Ran on Pagan Standard Time
- Filled with hard and fast rules
