Pagan (sometimes neoPagan)
"A broad, eclectic movement, centered in the
industrialized West, which is characterized by a return to, or a
reconstruction of, pre-Christian Western Nature religions" -
Encyclopaedia of Witches and Witchcraft
The Pagan Federation was founded in 1971 (in Britain) to provide
information, to counter misconceptions about Paganism and to work for the
rights of Pagans to worship freely and without censure. To help accomplish
this, the PF organizes members' only and public events, maintains personal
contact with individual members and with the wider Pagan community,
publishes a quarterly journal, Pagan Dawn, and holds an annual conference
in London, UK, each November. The Pagan Federation International consists
of all those regions lying outside of the United Kingdom, many of whom,
like their UK counterparts, hold public gatherings throughout the
year.
The PF doesn't exist to promote any single path within Paganism, nor do
we presume to represent all Pagans. Rather our members are drawn from all
strands of Paganism, are at least 18 years of age, and subscribe to the
Three Principles which give the Pagan Federation its common purpose and
focus:
- Love for and Kinship with Nature. Reverence
for the life force and its ever-renewing cycles of life and
death.
- A positive morality, in which the
individual is responsible for the discovery and development of their
true nature in harmony with the outer world and community. This is
often expressed as "Do what you will, as long as it harms
none".
-
Recognition of the Divine, which transcends
gender, acknowledging both the female and male aspect of
Deity.
