What do pegans believe?

Question

i always hear this thrown around in a negative light by christians but what does that mean?

Answer 1

I don't know about pegans.

PAGANS, though... they believe, usually, in multiple Gods and Goddesses... or a pantheon of Gods and Goddesses... or a God and a Goddess... or just a Goddess.

They believe in protecting nature and encouraging nature's growth. They believe everyone has the ability to make a choice to do things. They do NOT believe in Hell. They do believe in magick, usually, even if they don't necessarily use it.

Answer 2

The 4 core beliefs of paganism.

1. 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 - the Gods are many.

2. The Divine is present in Nature and in each one of us. This is called pantheism -- the Divine is everywhere.

3. The Divine is represented as both female and male. The two major aspects of the Divine are the Goddess and God, although the Divine is beyond limitations of gender.

4. The Pagan Ethic is also called the Wiccan Rede. If it harm
none, do what you will. This means a Pagan cannot cause harm to anyone or anything, including themselves.

Answer 3

The term pagan means a person who does not follow any of the 5 major structured religions.

These 5 being the 3 Abrahamic religions (Christianity/Catholicism, Judahism, and Islam) and Hinduism and Buddahism.

So anyone not of those 5 beliefs is considered a pagan. The amount of Gods or types of beliefs make no difference.

Answer 4

You mean pagan?

That means they don't believe in the Abrahamic religions (i.e. Judaism, Christianity, or Islam).
