When one defines oneself as Pagan, it means he or she follows an earth or nature religion. One that sees the divine, manifest itself in all creation. The cycles of nature are our Holy Days, The earth our temple.
The plants and creatures our partners and teachers. We worship a diety that is both female and male. A mother Goddess and Father God, who together created all that is, was, and will be. We respect life, cherish the free will
of sentient beings, and accept the sacredness of all creation.

Some believe that wicca has Shaman based origins. (Shamans were the first wisdom seeking people) Which dates back before the first civilazations.
You can see these origins in the fact that rituals preformed today still show a great deal of thier Shamanic beginings. But that is the start of a completely different page!
Live and let live,
Fairly take and fairly give
Cast the circle thrice about
To keep the evil spirits out,
To bind the spell every time
Let the spell be spake in rhyme,
Soft eye and light of touch
Speak little, listen much,
Deosil go by the waxing moon
Chanting out the Witches' Rune,
Widdershins go by the waning moon,
Chanting on the baneful rune,
When the Lady's moon is new,
Kiss the hand to her, times two,
When the moon rides at her peak,
Then your heart's desire seek,
Heed the North wind's mighty gale,
Lock the door and drop the sail,
When the wind comes from the south,
Love will kiss thee on the mouth,
When the wind blows from the west,
Departed souls will have no rest,
When the wind blows from the east,
Expact new and set the feats,
Nine woods in the cauldron go,
Burn them fast and burn them slow,
Elder be the Lady's tree,
Burn it not or cursed you'll be,
When the Wheel begins to turn,
Let the Beltane fires burn,
When the Wheel has turned to yule,
Light the log and Horned One rules,
Heed ye Flower, Bush and Tree,
By the Lady, Blessed Be,
Where the rippling waters go,
Cast a stone and truth you'll know,
When ye have true need,
Hearken not others greed,
With a fool no season spend,
Lest ye be counted his friend,
Merry meet and Merry part,
Bright the cheeks warm the heart,
Mind the Threefold Law you should,
Three times bad and three times good,
When misfortune is enow,
Wear the blue star on the brow,
True in love ever be,
Lest thy lover's false to thee,
Eight words the Wiccan Rede Fulfill;
An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will
