“if we could reduce Paganism down to its essentials, we believe its two most central concepts are interconnectedness and blessedness.”

“The correspondences and associations adopted by a tradition are not an end in themselves, but rather a means to help us mentally order the universe to interact with it meaningfully.”

“Pagans tend to see all parts of the universe—from the smallest atom to the largest planetary system—as sacred and having some form of consciousness or spark of intelligence. Most Pagans believe that this living universe is able to communicate to all parts of itself on one or more levels, and that these parts can choose to cooperate together for specific ends. Pagans call this cooperation magick.”
― Joyce Higginbotham, Paganism: An Introduction to Earth- Centered Religions

“Most Pagan traditions stress personal responsibility and put the burden of developing spiritual practices, beliefs, and ethics on to the individual”
