The purpose of the Pagan, Polytheist, & Animist Collective shall be to provide community and resources to students who come from or want to join a pagan/polytheistic/animist background. The goals of this organization are to provide literacy resources to the community on the diverse traditions of polytheism/animism and to provide space to worship. Our philosophy is that there can be no singular way to worship; knowledge and respect of many traditions is better than assimilating them all into a single religion. As such, our group does not seek to worship any and all traditions, but provide avenues for students to find the traditions they best connect with. Our group will not practice nor promote the traditions of closed religions to people of whom the practice would not include.
