Why do I find mysticism so appealing?

I find beauty in the wiccan faith. I also find Buddhism and Withcrafy to have a certain allure to them. I was also curious if anyone else feels this way? Is there a way I could get involved with all that, and still be atheist?

Buddhism is atheist. Stear clear of the fruity mythological stuff, and focus on the philosophical/meditative stuff, and Buddhism is almost a perfect atheist religion. You can purify your self and your world view, enjoy mental "trips" aka religious experiences, and you don't really have to believe in anything particular.

As for wicca-- nothing wrong with hairy armpits, just saying.
