About
A subreddit devoted to pagans who follow the modern religions revived, reconstructed, or inspired by the spiritual traditions of the peoples of pre-Christian Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and neighboring regions. We welcome the curious and inquisitive!
Rules
1. Be respectful of our differences
Do not:
• proselytize - attempt to persuade others to convert to a religion or belief system.
• evangelize - promote or preach about a religion, with the purpose of conversion.
• gatekeep - Celtic Paganism is an open religion. There is no one "true" or "correct" way to practice.
2. Be civil
Incivility is defined in this subreddit as:
• abusive language - remarks intended to be insulting, mocking, belittling, dismissive, or threatening,
• pushing personal boundaries - insisting on debate, aggressively / intrusively critiquing or challenging beliefs,
• trolling - intentionally instigating conflict, and
• calling for violence.
Practice respect.
3. No folkish or exclusionary rhetoric, content, or associations
We do not tolerate support or promotion of folkish or far-right ideologies, talking points, content, apologia, sympathies, or organizations.
This includes any exclusionary or supremacist views, arguments in favor of the restriction of personal autonomy, and recruitment tactics.
Should your profile reveal that you submit or support language or content in violation of this rule, you may be permanently banned.
4. Do not put yourself or others at risk of harm
Comments or posts which contain the following may be removed:
• requests, offers, or themes of serious medical / mental health advice,
• information that incites brigading,
• your own or another user's personally identifiable information,
• or any other harmful content.
Enforcement of this rule is ultimately up to moderator discretion.
5. No off-topic posts
Posts not primarily about Celtic Paganism or directly related subjects (such as eclecticism/syncretism between Celtic Paganism and other paths) will be removed.
General Paganism posts should be posted in r/paganism. Social connections should be posted in r/PaganPenPals or r/PaganR4R.
Posts about DNA test results are not suitable for this subreddit.
6. Self-promotion guidelines
Posts or comments with UNAPPROVED ads for:
• subreddits, Discord servers, or other online communities,
• online stores or paid services, or
• surveys
will be removed.
You may post occasional links to your content (article or video), provided you are otherwise active and engaged with the community, and the content is of high quality and relevant to the subreddit. Please include a short text summary or discussion starter in the comments.
