Beliefs

The Pagan Federation believes that Paganism is the ancestral religion of the whole of humanity. According to the organisation, for a person to be pagan, they only need to believe the following:

• Each person has a right to follow his or her own path, as long as it harms no one.

• There is a higher power (or powers).

• Nature is to be venerated.
