Frequently Asked Questions
"My religion is very simple - my religion is kindness."
~ Dalai Lama

There are no "stupid questions". Any question you have represents an area of curiosity, and deserves an answer, if there is one available. Here is a wide collection of questions I've received from students and seekers over the years. I've tried to group the questions together by subject, but feel free to skip around to what interests you. When read straight through, it should provide you with a fairly good basis for understanding the Pagan world view.

For more in-depth coverage of the topics, browse through the Fundamentals, Philosophy, Theory, Commentary and Practice sections. The Firepit also has its own site search feature that can be found here. Otherwise, , and I'll try to answer you personally. If the response is of sufficient interest, it may even get posted here to share with others who might have a similar question but were afraid to ask.

Although these questions were asked at various times by different people, I have tried to place the answers in some degree of order. It has been designed to be either read straight through as an introduction to the Craft, or simply select the topic that interests you. Enjoy your exploration!
