Our paths differ today just as they did in antiquity. Yet we have the writings, teachings and efforts of the Emperor who led the last great effort for Pagan restoration to provide solutions which can allow us to preserve our individual paths and yet act together.
The ideals held by the Julian Society are compatible with all forms of Pagan spirituality. Membership in the Julian Society is valid alongside all other group memberships and Pagan religious associations. Our spiritual philosophy is a focus upon positive personal conduct and responsibility. We hold that each member's personal beliefs and connections with the gods are their own responsibility, and are also proven by their works in the world around them.
The Julian Society seeks to enhance Pagan religion through practical example. Members are invited to dedicate themselves toward positive and honorable virtues and conduct, toward the goal of making Pagan spirituality a more respected path.
