What is Paganism? Some who come here wonder that. So,
Here i have an answer. This short Intro on Paganism is
from my favorite and first Pagan book.
"The Book of Pagan Rituals"
He writes: The Pagan Way is, as Occultists put it, "On the right-hand path," and is devoted to the worship of that which is good in man and nature. Satanism, black magic and the like are actively opposed-
we know that such cults are destructive in their effects and contrary to the evolutionary advance of humankind. The rituals of the Pagan Way cannot be twisted to harmful ways or purposes. Any attempt to do so would have very serious consequences for anyone who tried."
I hope this helps some of you who e-mail me with questions like, "Is paganism like satanism?", "Do you practice black magic?", "Who do you worship? God or Satan?", and so-on. This might ALSO help some of you who are of a younger age, trying to tell your parents what you beleive in.
I recently received an e-mail from a nice young girl who couldn't think of a way to tell her mother and father that she is Wiccan because they have the idea that its about the worship of Satan. She was very disstressed over the matter. I told her to try and find an article that stated what it REALLY is, and I am hoping she'll look at this page with this quote, and use it to better her situation.
Blessed Be!
