What religion does this sound like?
I have certain beliefs but I can't find other people that feel the same or find the name for it. Well, here is a list of them:
1. There is something out there bigger than all of us. If you want to call it a god, then OK.
2. I do enjoy some of the writings of the bible. I do not believe it is the word of God.
3. All living things have a spirit that watches over them. There are good and bad spirits.
4. I believe in use of spells for healing and protection, I however do not practice any spell casting. I prefer to leave that up to the professionals.
6. I believe in reincarnation.
These are not things I just grabbed from different religions and glued together. They are what I actually believe to be truth. Two of them just because of things that have happened to me in my life personally.

I agree with Karma on the agnostic viewpoint, in addition to having elements of deism, buddhism, and wiccan teachings.

I also agree with Karma. One thing you might like to try is going to a Unitarian Universalist church if there is one near you. There more than likely would be others there who hold the same beliefs that you do, and with whom you could speak and share your beliefs.

Yes, you would fit into the Unitarian Universalists, IF of course you don't mind others having different beleifs, some may believe more of one thing, and others none of the others. But they are accepting of all basically relgious teachings

Sounds a bit old school pagan/wicca to me, have to say I have similar beliefs :) maybe we should start a religion :D (I'm not pagan or wicca by the way)
If asked I say I'm Agnostic I believe in something but I don't know what it is, def not christianity though :)

What you are describing is Gnosticism. There were many early Christians who believed in reincarnation. People all over the world of many religions use spells.

Why not explore Native American religious beliefs... that would be a good fit for you at this time.

I believe in all of those things and others, I've been called a universalist by a lot of people, if that helps any?
