Our Frequently Asked Questions page contains many of the most common questions we're asked, and answers them. Some questions below have entire pages devoted to them.
A common question is "What is Paganism?" and we have a whole section for that too. This answers the basics regarding our earth centered spirituality.
Paganism is relevant to yesterday, today, and the future. It has Ancient Roots with Modern Branches. From the stone age to the space age, we bring the spirituality of nature into our lives.
Pagan religions are often equated with Goddess religions and so we explore the relationship between Women and Paganism. Women are empowered by the vision of the feminine aspects of the Divine found in many earth centered traditions.
In light of the "men's movement," men are exploring earth based traditions and thus we find a greater connection between Men and Paganism. They are realizing their masculine and feminine qualities seen through the balance of nature.
Pagans and other earth based traditions celebrate many different holy days centered around an agricultural calendar. In our section, Wheel of the Year, and we invite you to participate in the sacred cycles of early European holy days of the pre-Christian times. These seasonal observances are among the oldest of the world's holidays.
Families with children are learning to incorporate a learning to respect the earth as a home and parents are looking for sacred teachings to raise children in with respect for the earth and earth centered spirituality, we discuss the practice of Celebrating Paganism with Children.
