I am a Pagan. First, I would recommend the person read about pagan religions in general. Read some mythology. Do any particular Gods/goddesses/regions call to you? Wicca, while essentially Pagan, is it's own form. You may want to read up on it some. The initial part of discovering spirituality of any kind is the hardest and most beneficial. It's discovering you. Who are you? What are your thoughts on this life- or the next? You do lots of reading, talking to people on the internet or in person, perhaps find a group in your area, be it a coven, a druid grove, or a general social group. "Joining groups' or initiating into a path vary from path to path.

there are several pagans on Answers... and we all follow our own unique Paths.. as for how to "join" a pagan path - you need to decide within your own heart what is right for you, and what is wrong, and follow it from there. Do some research on your own, and talk to others in your area, if you can find them. If it's right, and if you really put an effort into it, the right path will eventually find you.

I'm a naturalistic pantheist and an atheist which means that "I believe in God/dess but spell it N-A-T-U-R-E." It is sort of like a nontheistic and rational "pagan". It's paganism for the 21st century and is even more earth-centered than "mainstream" paganism which focuses on magic. It is very eco-centered and Green in focus.
Knowing of the interdependence of nature (food cycle, etc.) as well as the interdependence of actions (ancestors' past actions affect my current circumstances and my actions will affect the circumstances of my descendents) fills me with a sense of gratefulness which I demonstrate both through my actions as well as concrete actions of respect and honor.
We celebrate the solstices and equinoxes. Some of us even do rituals - for myself I have developed offeratory rituals to honor Nature and the ancestors, Sacred Meal ritual, and chanting and meditation practices. These are available in the files section of the public pantheist groups here on Yahoo and on Beliefnet.
