I was a pretty good pagan for a couple of years but had some bad things happen that scared me. I've only just recently, in the last few years, started to reconnect to that way of thinking.
My main belief is that the earth, the solar system, the galaxy, the entire universe, is a system and we are a part of that system. We may be small, but we are not insignificant and what we do matters because it is all connected, like a spider's web. 
 @89e51746 I think thats a fine view (and not limited in scope to Pagan views)... I guess it depends if you define pagan as "non-abrahamic religions" vs religions/views that have a concept of magick (which seems to be a more common usage) 
 @b05df304 
I'm not sure I'll ever be ready to dive back into magick with the right mindset. 
 @89e51746 shouldnt be something that is forced of course, nothing wrong with that... though you may be thinking of high magick and not thinking of low magick as magick (not that our definitions need to agree)
