I've been slightly confused about that...

Like, there are people who call themselves Agnostic Christians...

No.
You can be an agnostic Witch, but not an agnostic Wiccan/Pagan. Witchcraft is a magickal system that does not always require the aid of divine beings (though, from past experience, it helps greatly). Wicca and the various branches of neo-Paganism are theistic, though.

I'm an atheist pagan, so I guess being an agnostic pagan would be conceivable.
One can honor nature and celebrate the wheel of the year without necessarily having to believe in a higher power, or an anthropomorphic supreme being.
In my case, I look upon the gods and goddesses as personifications of natural phenomenon.

Agnosticism is the philosophy that the existence of a god or gods cannot be known.
Belief is entirely different.
I am an agnostic atheist, because I say, "I don't know," then I also say, "But I have no evidence, so I don't believe."
If you can have the philosophy of agnosticism and you believe in your gods anyway, then yes, you could be said to be an agnostic Pagan.

Agnostic Pagan, toward the Christian god?
Or an Agnostic Pagan, towards the gods?

I particular wish so! i'm an agnostic pagan. I prepare eclectic polytheistic paganism, yet i've got self assurance that it is easy to in no way comprehend if God/s exist or not and that i've got self assurance religions are mans way of concerning to those unknowable deities. -Scarlet

Yes--not only is it possible, but it's very common, even though people don't realize it.
Many "pagan's" subscribe to a generalized spiritual belief that exalts nature, compassion, ancestors and history, but do not worship a specific God or Goddess, or are even aware of what pagan god's there are.
Agnostic means literally "No knowledge", or no personal connection to a specific diety--something that Pagans routinely express.

Yes.
For example, I believe in a greater life force, but I do not believe in a holy or divine being. For me, the Goddess symbolizes and pretty much sums up the qualities of this extensive oneness. My practices allow me to define myself as a Celtic Reconstructionist pagan, but my overall belief in a oneness is definitely influenced by Unitarian Universalism.

No. If you believe in a pagan system, then you aren't agnostic. If someone says they are an agnostic pagan, than they don’t understand the terms. Maybe they mean they are a skeptical pagan (meaning they are pagan, but they have doubts about their beliefs).

I think so. I'm agnostic and I've dabbled a bit in paganism.

My boyfriend calls himself an atheist Pagan. Meaning, he doesn't believe in any god/s, but he does believe that humans have the ability to use energy to change things in the world, that nature should be revered, that we have spiritual and even "supernatural" abilities should we tap into them.
I suppose it takes all kinds...
