What do you mean how to practice paganism? That's like saying how do I eat? -- There are different ways to eat (fork, knife, fingers, chopsticks, etc.) and different branches of paganism. Do you have any feel for which branch of paganism you are most attracted (like Wicca, Witchcraft, Druids, etc.) There are many sites and books out there that can help you. If you are not sure where to go or what to do, start with Wikipedia and go from there.
Hope that helps

Ok, ignore the know it alls and the "my religion is the only way" losers.
Here is the wikipedia page for it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paganism
It also depends on what sort of paganism you are interested in. Wicca, I believe, is the most commonly associated with paganism. However, any faith or belief system that falls outside of monotheistic constraints is considered to be pagan.
Good for you for exploring your options rather than just hopping on the nearest bandwagon and believing something just because mommy and daddy do. Ignore the narrow minded and ignorant.

Depends on what branch of paganism you mean. Wicca? Asatru? Druid? Shamanism? They (and several others) are all considered "pagan religions" and all have very different beliefs and practices...

Paganism is anything goes. Make it up as you go along. Pray to rocks. Worship fairies. Light incense to Thor and Odin. Whatever strikes your fancy. I think that is part of its popularity: you can get creative with it and have fun designing your own belief system. The only problem is... it doesn't save you.

If this is what you want to do, then you probably already are. If you aren't a Christian, you are a pagan. I hope you reconsider. God loves you!
