Paganism

Beliefnet is the leading spirituality and religion site. Our Pagan section covers a plethora of all things relating to Paganism, Wicca, witchcraft, magick, Goddess spirituality, indigenous traditions, shamanism, and more. The Pagan community is very diverse, but most are united by a faith in ancient Pagan beliefs and traditions and the mission of bringing these to the modern world. Pagans believe in honoring and respecting the Earth and treat nature as holy. Many Pagans prefer a Goddess, or a feminine image of the divine, rather than a masculine God. Beliefnet's Pagan and Earth-based religions content includes:

Guided Pagan meditations
Teachings and articles from leading Earth-oriented teachers like Starhawk, Margot Adler, and Mara Freeman
Discussions about everything from the history of Paganism to Pagan teens, Wicca, Native American rituals, and shamanism
Seasonal celebrations of everything from Samhain to Summer Solstice
And more!
