Pagan Tree
a section of the Spiritual Network

Webster Dictionary says. . .pä'gen   1. A person who is not a Christian, Moslem, or Jew; a heathen. 2. One who has not religion 3. A Non-Christian 4. A heathen
WE HAVE A DIFFERENT DEFINITION!

We say a PAGAN IS - simply someone who practices a nature based religion/practice such as, but not limited to, native American practices, ULEK, druidism, Celt, Norse, Egyptian, Aztec, Mayan, Greek, roman, aboriginal, Wicca, witchcraft, etc..  The Spiritual Network is in hopes of adding sections for many of the pagan practices. This will take time and we are seeking volunteers to design and manage each of the sections; as I am not an expert or have enough knowledge in some of the pagan areas. We expect the Pagan Tree section of the Spiritual Network Web Site to grow a lot! So please visit this section and the Spiritual Network often!

Our goal is to provide you with information. We do not attempt to change anyone's beliefs but offer this information free and of ULEK; in universal love hoping you will find happiness and love your path; in universal energy that you may practice your believes and connect to the energies; and in universal knowledge that the truth comes from learning. Please note that as you travel through this section you will find a variety of believes, uses of words, thoughts of spirituality, ceremonies, and such but all pagan practices have some common denominators, like

• Belief that there may be many different sources of energy/spirits/entities with different names but that there is a higher all encompassing source which is really the combination of all the separate energy/spirits/entities.
• Respect of the earth for it is the mother from where we come in this physical form, it is she who gives us food
• No intentions to ever purposely harm, to do all in respect (honesty) and love at all times
• Practices of ceremonies are done to the cycle of the moon and stars, not dates.
• The use of a wheel or circle of power indicating no less than the four directions of North, South, East and West
• Honor of animals as kindred spirits with wisdom. Animals bring us messages and share their power.
• Words, symbols, objects, and music all have power
• We have access to the other levels/planes/vibrational levels to communicate with spirits/entities/energy
• Pagans are not satanic. Satanism is Christian based not a pagan religion.
• Pagans do not believe in the Christian definition of the devil, hell, or evil.

If you are going to label yourself something ...
                     please understand the vocabulary you use
and then that depends on which dictionary you use, does it?
