Many pagan ways are animistic meaning that the practitioners believe
that souls (spirits) exist not only in humans and animals, but also in
plants, rocks, lightning, thunder, water, fire, wind, etc. Wicca,
Hinduism, Shamanism, and Shinto are animistic pagan religions.
Wicca is also considered a duo-theistic religion because the
practitioners respect the Goddess and God. Dianic Wicca focuses on the
Goddess and it reveres feminist values, ritual, folk magick and healing
practices learned from the "Mother".
Pagans feel a great appreciation for the Earth and all her inhabitants
and feel that all life is interconnected. Deeply aware of the natural
world, pagans see the power of transformation and perfection in the
ongoing cycles of life and death. Pagan
spirituality is therefore earth centered with a belief in innate
divinity.
