When you pick up a book that uses Egyptian myth, and put it back on the shelf when it portrays Anpu as a monster.  :mad:

You know you're a pagan when you get angry that books about ancient mythologies aren't in the religion section.

When you bump into a spiderweb and apologize.
A heretic blast has been blown in the west,
That what is no sense must be nonsense.

When you make a list of books you want, and all except one is about Paganism of some kind.

You know you're pagan when your holy trinity is composed of a triple Goddess or Isis, Osiris, and Horus.

When you're very selective about mythology books.

When you go through the old mythology books you read as a kid and keep going, "No, that's not right," and "No, that's not the guy's name," and "Dammit, did they even read a single Edda?"

Or maybe I'm just a nerd.
That awkward moment when someone calls you a godless heathen. :hdsk:

When you become livid with rage at blatant misinterpretations of your deities in popular culture...I am guilty of this one. There are artistic liberties and then there's ignorance. One should not mistake one for the other.

When you look at a calendar and you see "winter begins" and on a bad day you get a little bit ticked off.

Oh this, this indeed. My mother, the Loki fangirl, tells me to just think of it as fanfiction. I say that making Loki Thor's brother is like making Snape Harry's brother. No.

{shudders} That's just.....wrong. Some fanfic should never go there! (There are people who ship Snape with either Harry or Hermione.) {shudders again}

You also know you're a pagan when you're comparing prices on unicursal hexagram pendant prices on amazon.com.
