You're welcome. It's going to be a fun time. Our national website (www.paganpride.org/) has a nice definition of pagan:

A Pagan or NeoPagan is someone who self-identifies as a Pagan, and whose spiritual or religious practice or belief fits into one or more of the following categories:

Honoring, revering, or worshipping a Deity or Deities found in pre-Christian, classical, aboriginal, or tribal mythology; and/or
Practicing religion or spirituality based upon shamanism, shamanic, or magickal practices; and/or
Creating new religion based on past Pagan religions and/or futuristic views of society, community, and/or ecology;
Focusing religious or spiritual attention primarily on the Divine Feminine; and/or
Practicing religion that focuses on earth based spirituality.

I have a few faerie friends that would love to go. I am not sure what a Pagan is, I'm Godless. When I feel a need for spirituality I read a Dali Lama book or take a ride up to the Spirit Temple. Perhaps not as often as I should. (grin)

However, I embrace all people and their diverse beliefs... sounds like fun. Thanks for the invite!
