Exploring the ethical dimensions of paganism, this book positions it alongside major world religions, analyzing concepts of evil, value, and idolatry through historical and contemporary philosophical lenses. It addresses practical ethical issues like same-sex unions, environmental concerns, and terrorism, while also presenting diverse sectarian pagan ethics. Emphasizing paganism as a legitimate spiritual voice, it invites readers to reconsider Western ethics beyond its Christian roots, making it relevant for both modern pagans and those interested in contemporary moral debates.

Every distinctive world culture has produced its own calendrical system, and yet the Roman calendar, reputedly developed by Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome, and modified by Julius Caesar and Pope Gregory XIII, is today the chief means of reckoning time throughout the world. This work is an investigation into the origins of this calendar and the religious system which gave rise to it.
