Best religion/spiritual path for me???
This is what I believe in:
-reincarnation
-spells
-gods and goddesses
-worshipping those and being one with nature
-that everything has a spirit
-communicating with the gods and goddesses
-meditation (candles and incense)
I know you all are gonna say Wicca, but I want a religion that when I tell someone what mine is, they'd be like "wtf???"
I'm American; part Irish, Swedish, German, etc if that helps.

Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
why do i have the feeling this isnt even so much about religion but about the shock value you can get from what other people think when you tell them this??
im not going to aid you in that if your merely doing this to surprise people. Thats not what finding a religion is all about. You can still be a certain religion and not agree with every single thing in the rule book. Lots of people do it.

German mythology has lots of these things, since there's some german in you. Like in Wagner's 'Ring Cycle' (Valhalla, the Valkyrie, The Rhinegold, Erda the earth goddess, Wotan & Fricka & Freya etc). It's very old. Older than Christianity and Islam by far. It even had a magic wring and dragons (like Tolkein's 'Lord of the Rings' which borrows an awful lot from this old belief system). I like this stuff myself actually. Maybe because of Wagner's opera though. Or how about the Druids? They're a spritual bunch indeed. And also very ancient.

Wicca is but one that falls under the general description of Pagan beliefs. Druidism is another popular one. I am sure there are many much lesser known ones. Or, if you don't fit any belief system closely, the best thing one can say is that they are a solitary practitioner of their own version of an earth based, pagan belief.
I myself have such a jumbled collection of beliefs that I do not fit anywhere either if someone were to ask for a name or title.
If it helps any, when it comes to spiritual growth, the path is uniquely different for each person and trying to fit the mold of a ready made belief system or spiritual path or religion is something I dont beleive our Creator meant for us. Its always been meant to be our very own.

Believing what you believe, means people are gonna be like "WTF".
Sorry hun, but once you throw spells, reincarnation, polytheism and animism or monism in there, you have a belief system that is pretty uncommon in North America. Whatever you call it, it's going to raise eyebrows, because it's not frequently come across.
Wiccan or some other pagan tradition are likely going to be the best fits for you given what you say about your beliefs. So, you'll need to make peace with the fact some people wont react well to those terms. Either make peace, or lie about what you believe.
