I am wondering if there are many Pagans here in Aus, & also from non-Pagans, how well (or not) that it is understood.
I have had many people think that it is to do with devil-worship (most of us don't even believe in the devil) or other "bad" things, rather than the nature-based belief system that it is....

I don't 'get' paganism, equally my attitude to all religion goes from withering contempt to bemused tolerance. That said, it is absolutely your right to believe or not believe.
It's the people who try to impose their imaginary deity on others that I annoys me.

Gypsycat, there are many pagans in Australia. What area are you in? There are active groups through much of SE Qld, as far as I know. And there are many events advertised. Have a look on Witchvox or find some facebook groups in your local area. Wicca is also legally a religion in Australia, so you should be able to find some like-minded people :)
