no, not just self, but cohabitation with the "earth" and themselves.

Depends on the type of Pagan - Paganism isn't a single religion, but a collection of many religion whose primary linking characteristic is that they're not Abrahamic.
Many Pagans believe in a number of deities, though a number don't believe in any gods. Many forms of Paganism are derived from or inspired by ancient pre-Christian beliefs.
For more details, it's best to refer to a specific type of Paganism, such as Wicca or Asatru.

Let me first let you know what Pagans DO NOT believe in: The devil, demons or much else that comes from the christian bible.
Pagans believe in becoming part of nature and living with nature instead of trying to go against it.
Living by the laws of three. Whatever you do in live whether good or bad will come back to you three-fold.
A lot of pagans worship both God and Goddess, and believe that we wouldn't exist without both. In nature there has to be both male and female to exist.

There are many many groups that label themselves pagans, and there can be many different beliefs amongst them. For example, there is no grand universal set of beliefs for all pagans, nor a standard sacred literature ("Bible"). However, in general it is a nature-based religion--honoring the divine in nature, with man as part of nature and not outside of it. There exists the basic ethical code of the "law of three/threefold law"--any energy you send out in the world will come back to you threefold....so it behooves you to do good and not ill, and the "Harm none" principle: "If it harms none, do as you will". Holidays are based on the cycles of the seasons: solstices/equinoxes (the sabbats). Existence of gods/goddesses....individual deites can differ greatly, and some groups worship only the Goddess, not a god/s.
Hope this helps.

Pretty much what Maggie said.
But, no Satan-- Pagans don't believe in the bible, God, or Satan at all. Anyone saying Pagans are Satanic is just a fool. A sad, hating fool.

much the same as organised religion should - being a good person and respecting the earth that created us!

spirits, ghosts, idols, spells.....basically whatever Satan deceives their feeble minds into believing. Those supposed "forms" of paganism all come from one dark, lying source.
