Pagan values

So, Pax over at Chrysalis called for an international Pagan Values blogging month.  It's a great idea, as our values are something we all want and perhaps need to talk about.  It's better than yet another Wicca 101, or bickering about what colour your candles should be.  And Pax has unleashed a wave of blogposts on our values, some a general overview, others on a specific value or ethic, and yet others arguing about what Paganism is, or whether it is desirable to have a consensus on values.  All interesting stuff.

Pax's excellent series of posts on Pagan Values can be found over at Wordpress.

Here's a few of the contributed posts so far (though oddly, Google Blogsearch appears to ignore Livejournal):
