Pagan:
1. one of a people or community observing a polytheistic religion, as the ancient Romans and Greeks.
2. a person who is not a Christian, Jew, or Muslim.
3. an irreligious or hedonistic person.
–adjective 4. pertaining to the worship or worshipers of any religion that is neither Christian, Jewish, nor Muslim.
5. of, pertaining to, or characteristic of pagans.
6. irreligious or hedonistic.
Priest:
1. a person whose office it is to perform religious rites, and esp. to make sacrificial offerings.
2. (in Christian use) a. a person ordained to the sacerdotal or pastoral office; a member of the clergy; minister.
b. (in hierarchical churches) a member of the clergy of the order next below that of bishop, authorized to carry out the Christian ministry.
3. a minister of any religion.
–verb (used with object) 4. to ordain as a priest.
It's just that simple.
Does it work? I believe it does, as do many people who have been in ritual with me.
I open myself to communicate with the Divine, just as any other true priest would.

It would be simpler to ask what is a priest. A priest is someone who has studied his religion and has usually (but not always) has been ordained to minister to his people. A pagan priest would be a priest that ministers to pagans. I myself have studied many years and am initiated into the office of High Priest in the Myjestic Tradition

Er?
It's a guy who studies a long time and gets ordained as clergy under one or another of the many Pagan religions.
What's a Catholic Priest?

Um, does WHAT really work? A Pagan Priest is someone who is a teacher, who has acheived a certain amount of education, knowledge, and experience and is therefore at a level somewhat above the rest of us in terms of spiritual development. It doesn't mean they're better, they just know more, and can do things like perform handfasting or hand binding ceremonies (marriage).
