Paganism is an umbrella term that is used to describe people who do not follow Christianity or Islam. It can include Wiccans, Buddhists, Druids, and Eclectic Witches in its description - to name but a small few. The basic principles of Paganism are as follows: Pagans revere the Earth. Pagans are typically deeply concerned about the environment. Most Pagans engage in celebrations of the changing seasons, and see time in cyclical rather than linear terms. Pagans tend to be fiercely individual, but tolerant of the belief systems of others. The Divine has made Itself manifest through many Deities in different places and at different times. No one Deity can express the totality of the Divine. This is called polytheism. Pagans believe in balance between the Masculine and Feminine energies of the universe. Many pagans believe in Karma, and the Law of Return. It is no more true that all Pagans are Wiccans than it is true that all Christians are Methodists. Most Pagans accept or embrace the possibility of magic, though not all Pagans believe in or are comfortable with the concept. Many, though not all, Pagans are fond of altars and shrines. Altars and shrines are found in every religious and spiritual tradition in the world, and serve as a focus for personal or group devotions. Most Pagans also believe in reincarnation -- our life on Earth is one of many and the purpose of life is to learn and evolve. Reincarnation was an idea taught by the Druids as well as the more well-known Eastern religions.
