Statement of Founding

Something New Was Needed

I want to start by saying that I am no prophet and certainly no saint. I am not doing this to be venerated as some kind of heaven-sent leader, because I am not. I was raised in Christianity, but found myself at constant odds with those in charge of the institution. I explored other faiths and Paganism is the one that spoke to my soul the loudest. However, none of the avenues open to me felt quite right — and as such, I had a hard time finding my footing in Traditional and Reconstructionist Paganism.

Because of this, I spent a lot of time in contemplation and finally decided that what I needed was something new. Religions have come to life from stories and myths. Gods have been born of human thought and desire. Through meditation, journey, communion, divination and automatic writing, I sought out "new" divines yearning to help and hear our prayers. Nineteen had revealed themselves to me and it is they who have become the focus of this religion.

This is a new religion founded around new Gods, the Pantheon of which is open to all.

— Jason Adams-Roehner, Founder

The Foundation

Four Sacred Pillars

Truth

Speak truth in the face of lies. Admit your wrongdoings and hold yourself accountable. Forgive when able, remember and pray for those you cannot.

Justice

Defend the helpless, abused and oppressed. There is no such thing as an "illegal" person. Human rights are not a topic of debate — they are a divine right.

Good Works

Be charitable when able. Give only when and what you can — monetary donations, food, clothing, or time. We take care of our communities and all those in it, regardless of faith, standing, or other protected status.

Care for the Earth

Try to live in harmony with Nature. The Earth is a living paradise we are all partners with and wardens of. It is our duty and honor to serve and protect her.

What We Believe

A Path of Balance & Connection

We are all connected to each other and to all the plants, animals, the earth, sky and sea. All things have a soul, and that soul is eternal. Science and Magic are real and balance one another. The Neo Paganus are not the only Gods — there are many others and they all deserve our understanding and respect.

Try to live in harmony with Nature and your fellows. Speak truth in the face of lies. Defend the helpless, abused and oppressed. Honor and respect yourself and others. Be charitable when able. These are the basic guidestones of our path.
