Well no fear, there&#8217;s a new religion in town, one which requires little to no rules and best of all, is free.*<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>How to be a good Paganathan<\/h3>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> <strong>Holidays.<\/strong> There are only a few holidays recognized, primarily the Solstices, Equinoxes and Perihelion\/Aphelion.
