Is the "g" in "Pagan" pronounced like the "g" in goat or the "j" in "jar"?

Hard "g" as in goat. The word actually comes from a Latin word meaning "from the country," as opposed to cities or towns.

I had fallen away from the Catholic Church at about 13, when I started asking skeptical questions, and got no reasonable answers. I was an agnostic for almost ten years, and then began seeking something which made more sense to me. My wife had begun reading about Pagan faiths in general, and Wicca in particular, and I was only marginally interested, but I was hiking in the high ground to the East of us a little, and I sat down under a tree and watched the meadow and stream below me, and I had a sudden, and quite deep, powerful experience. I saw how life was divided between the genders, each complimenting the other, and each needing the other, and suddenly much of what my wife had been talking about seemed to click into place for me. As I continued to sit, amazed, I had something more...personal happen to me. I can only liken it to a Christian's account of personally connecting to God. It was just like that. The Lord and Lady were there with me, somehow, and I could see that the creation reflects the creator, and that, as such, there was a God and a Goddess. After that, it just had to do with a lot of study. I was a believer, and now I wanted to know more. It's 18 years later now, and I'm still learning.
