We welcome all those who are exploring spiritual paths that blend East and West!


This community will function as a SAFE-ZONE for those seeking information about, or wanting to discuss elements related to incorporating Eastern elements into their Western practice. Everyone is invited to enter into discussions with an open mind, open heart, and being willing to "agree to disagree" should impasses within friendly debate be encountered.

We here at IndoPagan Paths advocate INTELLIGENT SYNCRETISM - meaning that we encourage those interested in integrating aspects of Hinduism and Buddhism into their Western magickal, Wiccan, or NeoPagan practices to study and strive to comprehend the Eastern traditions in their own cultural context before blending them into new forms.

We understand that in many places it is hard to get beginner's information, or information related to utilizing Eastern practices outside of a purely Eastern spiritual setting...and we strive to be a resource for those wishing to learn more, to blend traditions, and to network with other likeminded people!

HOUSE RULES:
1) Absolutely no flaming, patronizing remarks, or needlessly confrontational or combative dialogue will be permitted.

2) No proselytizing of any kind will be tolerated!

3) Please keep discussions relevant to the topics at hand, and to IndoPaganism in general. This is also NOT the appropriate place for discussions or partner-trolling for "NeoTantra" (focused on sex) events or practices. There are a million different forums for general Pagan Chit-Chat - but only one IndoPagan Paths Ning community!

4) Only pictures of Eastern or IndoPagan spirituality/practice/culture may be uploaded to the community. Personal pictures, general Pagan pics, etc may be embedded into your personal profile pages ONLY, using a 3rd party function like Flickr Slideshow (http://www.flickrslideshow.com/).
