that can be found in most expressions of Paganism which typically include
reverence for the sanctity of nature, rejection of traditional values and
institutional religion, celebration of diversity, and the philosophy of “doing what
thou wilt, but harming no one.”
Perhaps it is this “do what thou wilt” ethic that serves as the subtle connection
between the Pagan belief system and the D/s and BDSM lifestyles. Their
practice of personal spirituality and focusing upon the sanctity of nature and the
way things are, as opposed to moralizing on how they should be, allows for a
freer expression of the D/s dynamic and fetish-related sexuality. It would be
reasonable to expect to find a higher incidence of Primals among Pagans in the
lifestyle as a consequence of their reverence for nature and instinct.
On the other hand, one should not expect many followers of the Pagan goddess
movement to be lining up to become Gorean kajirae. But then again, who
knows? A Pagan doeth what he wilt.
