What is a pagan?

The Pagan Federation, set up in 1971, defines paganism:

 

“There are many answers to this, briefly Paganism encompasses the indigenous belief of a country. So before any human-centric religions developed there were many other spiritual traditions in each country. For example Druids in Celtic countries, Shamans in many countries including Native America and Siberia, Shinto in Japan, Witchcraft and Wicca, Norse Tradition and many other traditions.

See http://www.paganfed.org/intro.php for more information or to join the Pagan Federation (PF). It has a regular magazine called ‘Pagan Dawn’ and an active regional membership with it’s own magazine. Many North Devon Pagans are members of the PF but the group is independent. See Wicca for more.
