I'm confused...I thought all pagan types were vegetarians and belonged to PETA? Forgive me if I don't bother to sort out the weirdos by type.

"Pagans" and "witches" would never sacrafice animals. (most are very into animal rights/nature stuff) Satanists and the vodoo crowd are another story....

It really makes me mad when the media lumps Witches/Pagans in with Satanists...not even close to being the same. Satan/Devil worship is NOT their bag. Yes, some Pagans/Witches are rampant animal/nature rights nuts but many are very nice, level-headed people who happen to have a different religous belief. FYI, if you want any more info on "Witches/Pagans" and their beliefs just for your info,type in "Wicca" in any search engine and take a look.

Pagan just means non-monotheist, it's not really the name of a religion. Nature woshipping PETA types would qualify. So would the ancient Romans.

Self so called Pagans in modern times tend to be New Agers, Wiccans, or followers of Crowley. That is to say believers in a pastiche of pre-Christian northern and western European mythologies.

Santaria practitioners are Pagans, too, but they don't call themselves that.
