The three principles of the Pagan Federation International are not intended to provide a doctrinally definitive pagan creed. They do provide a general outline of some key, mainstream, pagan attitudes and beliefs concerned with how we relate to the Earth, how we relate to other living beings, and how we relate to the divine (our goddesses or gods or a more abstract spirit of life). Each is open to a range of honourable and reasonable interpretations.

1. Iubirea faţă de natură şi înfrăţirea cu aceasta. Stima pentru forţa vitală şi pentru ciclurile fără sfârşit ale vieţii şi morţii.
The first principle of the Pagan Federation emphasises the importance of love and respect for nature in paganism. It recognises that human beings are part of nature and that our lives are intimately interwoven with the web of life and death.

2. O moralitate pozitivă, prin care fiecare individ este responsabil pentru descoperirea propriului său drum, în armonie cu lumea exterioară şi comunitatea. Acestă idee este de obicei exprimată prin “Fă ce vrei atâta timp cât nu răneşti pe nimeni”.
The second principle of the Pagan Federation puts forward a broadly humanistic approach to ethics which seeks to maximise both individual freedom and personal responsibility. It recognises our place as human beings within the web of life wherein everything we do, or refrain from doing, has consequences for ourselves and for others. It encourages working towards peaceful outcomes while acknowledging the legitimacy of both self-defence and justice. This is compatible with all pagan paths, and essential for a tolerant, diverse and humane society. The Wiccan Rede is given as an illustrative, but not definitive, example of this general approach to ethics – this does not insist that we harm none under any or all circumstances. It does encourage us to be aware of the context in which our actions operate, to consider the probable consequences of the choices we make, to choose those which are reasonable and proportionate in the circumstances and thus minimise such harm as cannot be prevented, and take responsibility for our contribution, by either action or inaction, to the outcome. Hard ethical decisions are not about whether harm will happen, but about where it will fall.

3. Recunoaşterea divinităţii, care trece dincolo de gen, prin acceptarea nu numai aspectului feminin dar şi a celui masculin al acesteia.
This principle encompasses a range of pagan understandings of divinity including, but not restricted to, pantheism, all forms of polytheism including duotheism, Goddess-recognisant monotheism, and animism. It requires us to acknowledge that where the divine is understood as deity or deities having gender, it includes both a goddess or goddesses as well as a god or gods. It also recognises that there are pagan understandings of divinity which cannot be thus categorised by gender. Modern paganism tends to approach theology through a synergy of multiple understandings of the divine or divinity in the abstract, and modern pagans tend to regard the honouring of the gods, of the divine as it is manifest within this living world, as of greater importance than theological speculation as to its or their precise nature.
