Do y’all have religious leaders or do you pretty much lead yourself?

Are you the only member of your practice/faith or do you have congregants/community?

I have been to events I consider “church” in my faith but not everyone around me participating did.

I have a person I consider a faith leader but they may not consider themselves as such.

I am simultaneously always and never engaged in my faith.

    I am an independent Kemetic, aka I don’t have any leaders. There are pagan groups though

    Solitary practitioner, with very minor involving of immediate family members. No real need to bring it outside the house. I might look for a group… some day.

        No. Some people like to style themselves a goði or “family priest” or something of that nature. To me, that sounds pretentious when not talking about an organized group. Ásatrúarfélagið in Iceland, for example, have certified clerics that use the title goði, which makes more sense.

    I’m a naturalistic pagan, Any thing I do is just really on a personal level, though I don’t necessarily keep it private. Anyone who wants to know can always ask, it’s nothing special or secret. I am a member of a couple of other religious groups, but they’re outside of the pagan sphere.
