The Pagan Federation is a UK-based religious advocacy group. Formed in 1971 as the Pagan Front, the group campaigns for the religious rights of Neo-pagans with the aim of educating both civic bodies and the general public.[1][2]

The Pagan Federation is a constituted voluntary organisation, registered as a private Company limited by guarantee, with exemption for use of 'limited' with Companies House on 22 August 2000, with its nature listed as a Religious Organisation.[3]

Publication

The Pagan Federation publishes the quarterly magazine Pagan Dawn, featuring articles, reviews, and research on both modern and historic Paganism.

Beliefs

The Pagan Federation believes that 'Paganism is the ancestral religion of the whole of humanity'.[4] According to the organisation, for a person to be pagan, they need to only believe in the following:

  • Each person has a right to follow his or her own path, as long as it harms no one.
  • There is a higher power (or powers).
  • Nature is to be venerated.
