Beliefs of the Pagan Federation

The Pagan Federation believes that 'Paganism is the ancestral religion of the whole of humanity'.[4] According the organisation, for a person to be pagan, they need only to believe in 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.
