R.E.S.P.E.C.T


This means for everyone. Pagans are well known for their tolerance, most of the time. I've never found another faith so accepting, and that means for everyone. We don't get to choose. We have respect for all beings. Why am I drilling this in? Because part of pagan belief is not converting others. People will come to the faith if they want to but it is not our job to preach. Only answer questions if others ask.
We respect those of other faiths and their right to believe what they wish, hoping that they will treat us in kind. We respect the earth and all creatures. Now this doesn't mean going super vegan and never using a product made from a tree, it means respecting where our food and power comes from. Try and get those free range eggs and responsibly sourced paper, but if you can't understand that that is modern life.
Do some recycling and plant a tree or two, do charity work if you can and that's it. That's what respect means to me.
