Description
Traditional Pagans follow established systems with a hierarchical structure, while eclectic Pagans adopt a more individualistic approach, blending elements from various traditions. Both practices contribute to the rich diversity of the modern Pagan movement, and the choice between these paths depends on individual preferences for structure and historical continuity versus personal autonomy and creativity.
