Frequently Asked Questions
About Paganism & The PF

What Is Paganism?
Paganism is a collection of related religions which view the divine creative force as part of everything in nature (including mankind). Pagans see the celebration of the natural world and its changing seasons as representative of the changing aspects of the divine and attune themselves intimately to the natural world and its cycles for what they see as the spiritual benefit and advancement of all.

Isn't it Devil Worship? Or Evil?
Pagans do not acknowledge the 'devil' of other religions and therefore certainly don't worship him/it either in person or in principle. Pagans view evil as an imbalance in nature which needs to be corrected, not as an independent force or entity. Pagan ethics forbid all acts that do harm to anyone.

So where does witchcraft come into this?
Witchcraft is a specific religion under the broader heading of paganism. Witchcraft is the revival (or maybe the continuaton) of Nothern European (particularly British) folk pagan traditions.

What Is The Pagan Federation?
The Pagan Federation is an umbrella organisation with a membership drawn from a wide diversity of different pagan paths. It has been in continuous existence since 1971 when it was formed primarily as a campaigning orgainsation to actively oppose ingorance and negativity towards paganism in society. It has published a journal since 1969 which has a quarterly readership of over 10,000 and is staffed principally by unpaid voluteers.
