To be a Eclectic Wiccan or not to be one?

You scored as Buddhism.

Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism. Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider becoming Buddhist, if you are not already. In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth.

Paganism 83%

I have been considering of merging Buddhism into my Wiccian practice lately now. To make that into a "Eclectic Pagan-Wiccan-Buddhist". Sometimes, I still view myself as a Pagan-Wiccian, because I haven't really, full blown, sat down on bottom of the ocean of Wiccaism. I still am drawn to different branches of Pagan practices and also, Wiccan practices. As long as I am still on my "right" path thou so that is what matters to me right now. Maybe I should take this quiz result as a sign for me to do some digging, on Buddhism and Eclectic practices, this week and see what I can come up with and what I can do about it in order to merging it within myself. I love research! Sounds like fun to me.
(The only thing that, both, surprised and didn't surprise me is the Satanism being 4th on my result list. Literally, I do not believe there is a real devil sitting in his throne in his firey hellhole downstairs. So, when I say I don't believe in the devil, that means I do not believe in Jesus' God because they both are opposite of each other and yet the same. I do believe there is something bigger than us out there and also within inside ourselves, but that something does not have a concrete form like an image of a human. I think it is just an energy; an being; "beyondness".
Now, I believe that everyone has a dark side to them, but that doesn't necessarily mean we need to use it toward others, but yet embrace it as you don't deny your dark side. If you deny it, it'll only bubble up inside your corked bottle. Not good.)

I better stop because I originally planned to stop at "sound like fun to me."
When it comes to religion/philosphy, I can keep going on and on. Plus, last night I watched a DVD, "What do the bleep do we know?" It's really not just thought provoking, but whole-being provoking! I've seen another film, similar to that movie, on tv months ago. Go watch that DVD. Go to www.whatthebleep.com
