The Pagan Way

Wow! A more or less balanced newspaper article on various "pagan" paths, from the veritable "Heart of Darkness" itself - Colorado Springs, home to Focus on the Family and numerous other fundie groups. But also the site of Hardscrabble Creek, an excellent pagan blog, so I can't say I'm too surprised at the number of pagans in the area. It does surprise me that the local paper would print such a relatively sympathetic piece, however.

Some people think pentagrams and paganism go hand in hand with the worship of Satan. Not so, say local pagans. Paganism is an umbrella term that encompasses dozens of sometimes loosely defined faiths. Each branch of paganism has its own theology, but most pagans honor nature and multiple deities and believe the divine is found everywhere.
