Naturalism: "Philosophy. The system of thought holding that all phenomena can be explained in terms of natural causes and laws. Theology. The doctrine that all religious truths are derived from nature and natural causes and not from revelation."

Naturalistic paganism allows us to celebrate and renew our connection with nature and ourselves as well as family and friends, create sensual experiences to enjoy and even inspire meaning and change in our lives. As naturalistic pagans we doubt the reality of things like magic or literal gods and prefer to see science as a window to our spirituality rather than a barrier. This is a group for people who hold a naturalistic/scientific perspective (pantheists/atheists) but enjoy rituals (planned or spontaneous), pagan metaphors and non-escapist "spiritual" life. Come share, discuss and invent ideas, rituals, poetry etc.. use the pagan wheel of the year and (if you like) share your own path while finding like minded people. Among others we welcome WPM members who are interested in the sharing of detailed ceremonial practices. In the name of free inquiry and critical thinking philosophical/religious discussion and [polite, respectful] criticism is also welcome.
