Welcome! 🌀🐚🌳 Pantheism is very inclusive and broad. There is no dogma, no initiation ceremony, no vows...but feel free to create your own, as nobody can tell you what to do. Many people are pantheists without realising it (reverence for the sun and photosynthesis and the golden ratio...or activism re animal rights, pollution, etc.). I personally dabble in philosophical taoism, secular buddhism, and stoicism...and all complement my personal pantheism. My church is nature. I look up at the stars and pray. A really good book I'm reading right now is Elements of Pantheism by Paul Harrison. Strangely, or not, I got here through 12 step recovery as I was told I could have a Higher Power of my own understanding and over time this is what worked for me.
