...Hebrew culture and tradition? i beleive in the existence of various deities (a Henotheist)
now i've stoped worshiping all other gods and goddess
and want to except on my self the Hebrew deity
my relationship with the infinite one is quite complicated
i feel as my relationship between it as being that one as between a husband and a wife
there are quite many things in Judaism which i don't understand or don't agree with as well as the problem of me not feeling close to Hebrew culture and traditions and as well as to why are the Hebrews suppose to be chosen people and why all other people are then referred to as nothing
also there is the problem of commitment
i don't know if it's worth going from the 7 commandments of Noah to all the hundreds of commandments which are given to the children of Ya'akov
i already accurately know the History of the Jewish people
i celebrate the Sabbath; don't eat non-kosher food; pray arvit (night prayer); put on Tefilin; do kidush; wear Tsitsit; stopped cross dressing; stopped idolatry; stopped witchcraft; grow peot; and other
i think that i'm quite unsure now about shall i convert or not
now i don't feel that compatible with the Hebrew deity as i used to
those are some things that in Judaism are forbidden the reason of which i don't understand and therefore don't like it in Judaism:
*polytheistic worship
*patriarchy and male domination
the image of masculinity in nature being above femininity
* violence (specially towards pagans and other non-Jews)
* homosexuality
* witchcraft
* animal and plants sacrifice (poor animals... )
* work on the seventh day
* too servery honor of parents and elderly
now i don't say you shouldn't do it
you definitely SHALL do it
but look up Kitsur Shulhan Aruh and other writings
i believe the honor to be way far off
* cross dressing
* getting closer to other world's traditions
* reading sacred texts of other world cultures
those are some things in ancient paganism and neo-paganism which i like and i miss them ones i obey to the laws of the Hebrew traditions and the Hebrew god:
* favor towards nature and seeing it as being divine
* great peace and no violence towards no body
* matriarchy and seeing the feminine side as being more spiritual then the male one therefore not putting men above women nor masculinity above femininity
* great wisdom and knowledge
songs of the starts
secrets of the gods
* various religious practice which i find to be attractive and they have blessings in my eyes
* polytheistic worship
* the words of the divine mother - all acts of all love are mine
therefore homosexuality is not rejected in Wicca and most other neo-pagan and new age movements
* no or little judgement by race among new-age beliefs
it's practices beliefs and methods of achievement of enlightenment are available to all humans both Jews and non-Jews
thank you for the attention
any help here?

note #1 - can you tell me why didn't Balaam (Bil'am) want to become a Jew and except the Hebrew deity as one of the Hebrews?
note #2 - if you are going to turn to such statements as "God don't exist" or "other Gods don't exist" or "die Jew! die!" don't bother answering please
the existence of the divine to me is no longer questionable
"does God/s exist?" is not the question for me
the question to me is which one of them to bow before and how to do it
