The Informed Pagan

The Informed Pagan is a collaborative Pagan community that can be used as a resource for learning more about the various religions and practices that fall under the Pagan umbrella. A place where one can ask any question and expect thoughtful, honest answers, based not only on collective experiences, but currently available scholarly research.

Founded by a group of Pagans from various paths, we are dedicated towards promoting responsibility and integrity within the Pagan Community, through knowledge and awareness. Paganism is a very broad topic, and there is a ton of misinformation that has been perpetuated over the years, and unfortunately, very little has been done to stop it.

Most of us started out, as many do, rather “fluffy”, not knowing what we were doing, and often trusting what we thought were reliable resources, only to find that we’d been misled. The misleading wasn’t always done intentionally, but it was clear that there was a serious lack of genuinely reliable resources for those who were seeking a Pagan path. In talking about how far we had come and how embarrassed we were at some of the things we had once said and written (and yes we have ALL been there), we felt strongly that more guidance should be available for Pagans of all types. Talking about this wasn’t enough, and we decided we needed to take action. Which brings us here, to TIP.

The Informed Pagan is for anyone who needs a bit of help navigating the world of Paganism. If you are unsure of what you should be doing, which authors are reliable, or even what you believe, just ask. ALL QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME!! We have the knowledge and experience

“How can anyone who, while worshiping Zeus the God of Companions, sees their neighbors in need and does not give them a penny - how can they think they are worshiping Zeus properly?”

— Julian, Emperor of Rome, Letter to Arsacius, High-priest of Galatia (via honorthegods)

Zeus Philios | Zeus of Frienship
Zeus Xenios | Zeus of Hospitality and Strangers
Zeus Phyxiosb| Zeus of Refuge
Zeus Theos Agathos | Zeus The Good God
Zeus Epidôtês | Zeus Giver of Good
Zeus Sôtêr | Zeus Savior ans Deliver
Zeus Meilikhios | Zeus who is Gracious and Merciful
Zeus Laoitês | Zeus of the People
Xenia and the masculine form Xenios are epithets of Athena and Zeus, describing them as presiding over the laws of hospitality, and protecting strangers.
He also protects the home, essential needs, and family prosperity, under 2 epithets and 1 daimon.
Zeus cares.
Zeus “gives a shit.”
