Its not easy being a pagan in a decidely non-pagan country. Pagans face issues related to their jobs, relationships, and social lives that can be daunting at times. I have been a practicing pagan (wiccan specifically) for nine years and in that time have learned some things that may be of use to other pagans.

What is Paganism?
A Pagan is defined by many dictionaries as:
1. one of a people or community observing a polytheistic religion, as the ancient Romans and Greeks.
2. a person who is not a Christian, Jew, or Muslim.
3. an irreligious or hedonistic person. –adjective
4. pertaining to the worship or worshipers of any religion that is neither Christian, Jewish, nor Muslim.
5. of, pertaining to, or characteristic of pagans.
6. irreligious or hedonistic.
This is a very broad definition. In the U.S. if someone calls themselve a pagan they mean neo-pagan. Neo-Paganism is a modern day revival of the ancient pagan religions. Wicca is generally the most well known of the neo-pagan religions. I find it interesting that the definition of paganism fits 44% of the worlds population. That ratio is very different in America
