Except from other activities like conferences and so on, we gather five times a year for seasonal rites to which all members, apart from the tradition they follow or choose, can take part (for example, during Spring Equinox rite we celebrate the birth evoking many Gods of many pagan paths) and for a Federal Rite in August, during which we call the Gods pronouncing the devotio, an ancient roman rite.
Seasonal rites are celebrated near the Sacred Wood in Jesolo (Venice): the Pontifex and the Flamen, Franco Santin, who planted the trees and takes care of the area, are working in order to obtain respect for the area.
As symbol of Federazione Pagana, we choose the five-pointed star inside a
circle: though this is more known as a wiccan sign, actually it’s an ancient symbol (used also by Pythagorean) which was often represented with the word salus (in latin) o igiea (greek); since today the Italian word derived from salus has a restricted meaning (health, physical wellness), we give it an extended meaning with the letters explaining it: the circle is the universe in which the man (the star) lives. The upper point of the stars is reason through which man describes the world, left and right point represent seeing and feeling (and also hearing, tasting… senses and emotions), lower points are everyday world and the world of gods as man perceives it.
