a pagan is a very free lifestyle, theres no set rules, just a bit of ettiquette, which is mostly just common sense anyway - dont murder no-one, done bring unecessary harm upon others - all the obvious stuff
you can be a pagan and not actually be wiccan, christian, hedgewitch or anything, you can just quite simply *be
i happened to realise that mother nature is very important to me, i have always lived my life by the seasons and always celebrated when the beginning of a new season is upon us, so i started studying up and the way of the wiccans just happened to fit in nicely with the way i live my life
being a pagan is a very free and rewarding experience, about 60% of people could probably be classed as pagan without knowing it

Hm. I practice Wicca, but I'm not sure what kind of ancient wisdom you mean. *g* For the most part, I just follow my instincts (and instinct leads me to read a lot), but I do tend to think I have an old soul. And since each one of us holds a part of The All, we *all* have a bit of ancient wisdom in us if we care to look for it.

modern wiccans/paganists are a very likeable bunch as I have known them, but their claims about recreating an ancient pre-christian religion is, eh, questionable at best. these religions are thoroughly modern, and can't really trace their origin past the 1940s at earliest. Naturally, they have some ancient elements, but who hasn't?
