Everything Pagan EdNet publishes is free to read, print, and share. This section collects our fact sheets, our guides for particular audiences, and answers to the questions we hear most often.

How Our Materials Are Made
Every publication is drafted by the education staff and volunteers, reviewed by practitioners of each tradition it describes, tested with readers from the audience it is written for, and approved by the Education Review Committee. Materials that touch on the law are also reviewed by the Legal Advisory Panel. Each carries the date of its latest review. If you find an error, please tell us at education@paganednet.org.
