Pagan Freedom Day - 27 April


 
Pagan Freedom Day Movement History

The Pagan Freedom Day initiative was birthed on 11.11.2003 to facilitate an annual national and regional celebration of 10 years of Pagan Religious Freedom in South Africa on Freedom Day 27 April 2004.

In January 2004, this initiative was formerly chartered as the Pagan Freedom Day Movement (PFDM).
Since its inception, Pagans across the country have willingly embraced the ideal of Pagan Freedom Day, namely to encourage Cooperative Community building amongst Pagans and between Pagans and non-Pagans. It is hoped that by fostering a positive and holistic South African Pagan identity, we can promote understanding and tolerance amongst Pagans and between Pagans and non-Pagan South Africans.
Regional Communities have been formed to facilitate these ideals and to foster both Pagan identity and consolidate cooperative community building. Diverse Pagan individuals and groups have rallied together under the banner of Freedom and Unity in Diversity.

As from March 2011 PFDM has been hosted by the SAPC http://www.pagancouncil.co.za/node/805 and under the national coordination of its Registrar, Morgause Fonteléve.
 
 
Guiding Principals of the Pagan Freedom Day Movement

The Four Hazels (C's)
Co-operation: an opportunity to build a foundation of mutual trust between South African Pagans and between Pagans and other religious groups
Communication: an opportunity to share information of mutual benefit, to promote Paganism in its diversity, and to educate the uninformed
Community: an opportunity to unite all and diverse Pagan covens, clans, groups and non-aligned solitary Pagans in the spirit of community and nation building
Communion: an opportunity to celebrate and honour our shared spirituality and spiritual heritage, as a united Pagan community.
