Pagan Virtues

by Patrick McCleary | 8:30 PM in , , , , |

As the Dark Half of the year is approaching it is a time for reflection. A time to ponder the mysteries of the world around us and within. To explore, question and challenge our beliefs.
So I wanted to focus today on virtues of the Pagan kind. There are many schools of thought on this from simply just stating the Rede - 'An it harm none, do as ye will'. To more complex systems such as the Nine Noble Virtues (1 , 2) or the Thirteen Virtues of the Witch.

  1. Tolerance
  2. Charity
  3. Humility
  4. Devotion
  5. Patience
  6. Kindliness
  7. Forbearance
  8. Sincerity
  9. Courage
  10. Precision
  11. Efficiency
  12. Discrimination
  13. Wisdom
What among these or any are a part of the virtues that you hold dear and teach to your children?

Over the next few weeks, I am going to cover each of these in greater detail as they relate to children.
I hope that you join me on this journey deep into ourselves as we explore this ethical system.
Blessed Be!

    A good list of virtues. I personally seek to cultivate the eight virtues mentioned in the Charge of the Goddess.

    What tradition do the thirteen virtues come from? I've seen them on various websites, but with no source attribution.

    I originally found these thirteen virtues through FWTI, who found them through the Unicorn Tradition.
    Glad that you like them. If it is alright with you, maybe I will take your idea about the virtues in the Charge of the Goddess and write about it in a few months.
    Thanks for stopping by.
    Blessed Be!
