In our effort to
increase awareness of Pagan and Neo-Pagan issues and foster a more accurate world-view of
the beliefs and practices of Paganism and Neo-Paganism, we have created this area as an
open platform to present and explore these issues from every prospective.
Pagans do not "recruit" outsiders into their midst by promising a heaven or
threatening a hell... those practices, obviously based in fear, only spawn
misunderstanding. Pagans (generally) practice what is often referred to as
"Earth Religions"
In the not-too-distant past, pagan witches and mystics were burned at the stake, and some
of our greatest teachers were ridiculed, rebuked and even crucified! Thus, in the
late middle ages, when the ruling political forces in Europe, came into major conflict
with the powerful religious leaders of those times, Politics and Religion became
"friends", and both were corrupted. The formation of This United States of
America had (at the time) as much to do with religious freedoms as political. The
"outcasts" of the time were those who believed in the "Earth
Religions", as they were thought to possess magical powers. Those that were not
burned and jailed were forced underground to practice their beliefs, and those teachings,
coupled with other Ancient Mystery Schools beliefs (such as Masonic teachings) fall within
the spectrum of these once illegal and feared practices. Interestingly, the majority of
our "Founding Fathers" were secretly practicing Masons, and that symbology still
exists on our paper currency today.
These practices and beliefs cause harm to no one, and the concepts behind the terms Pagan
and Neo-Pagans are, in fact, older than mainstream religions and the political power
systems on the planet today. If there is one common behavior of all Pagans and
neo-Pagans, it is NOT to follow a personal belief system simply because it is convenient
to the King, or the Pope, or the Potentate, or even your mom and dad... it is to follow a
belief system that is meaningful to our lives, ... so, we do tend to be a rather
rebellious lot !
This Pagan area is an open platform of
communication and sharing. A place where both we as Pagans and we as People come
together and experience our similarities rather than emphasize our differences. There are
as many paths to inner truth and understanding as there are people, and no-one outside of
you possesses your answers. Once you grasp "your truth", hold on to it
tightly, let no-one take it from you, and need no-one to validate it for you.Seeking
your own inner truth and living it honestly and completely is not only your right... it is
your responsibility as a human being!
As Pagans and Neo-Pagans, some common ground we all share (to some degree) are;
1. Pagans practice a variety of positive life affirming faiths that are dedicated to
healing the people of the Earth as well as the Earth herself. As such, we do not
advocate or condone any acts that victimize others, including those proscribed by law. We
absolutely condemn the practices of child abuse, sexual abuse, and other forms of abuse
that do harm to the bodies, minds or spirits of individuals.
2.
Pagans do not acknowledge, believe in, or worship a "Satan" or
"Devil". These are Old Testament Christian symbols that have been connected in
many ways to Pagans and New-Pagans out of fear and misunderstanding. Pagans do not
practice "Black Magick," or desecrate any person, place or thing.
3. Pagans do not
proselytize. No-one will try to convince you to become a pagan.
We have simply created this Web
platform to provide you with what we believe to be our truth in the hopes that it will
correct some of the erroneous misperceptions about our type of religion. We
encourage you to search these pages and possibly it will help you validate your own path.
You'll find that this web site will contain a very "generalized"
introduction to Paganism that (hopefully) will answer most of your questions as openly and
honestly as possible. We also hope to create a roadmap of sorts which you might use
to explore those things that are most interesting to you and your needs. We will not push
a particular path or tradition, but if we can help point you in a direction of sincere
interest and real understanding, then we have done our job...
A job that we ask you to help us with... To the left are our specific content
areas. It is in this area that we are constantly looking for help in writing
organizing, and presenting "unbiased" information and important issues.
Please review these areas and if your spirit is willing, let us know in which areas you
would like to help!!!
