In neopaganism no one person or organisation can claim the truth.

The American School of Wicca has come under fire since it claims ultimate truth for some teachings.

Some traditions have high priests and high priestesses, but they are not gurus and they certainly do not mediate between gods and people. Gurus have no place in neopaganism; all are welcome to add to the tradition's wisdom and knowledge.

...`Do as thou wilt, only harm none' Anarchy is self-rule based on this creed...

The term `anarchic principle' sounds dangerous to most westerners but not to neopagans. Almost all neopagans subscribe to a single creed: `Do as thou wilt, only harm none'. Anarchy is self-rule based on this creed.

The pagan ethic is applied to every situation in life. Speeding, adultery, drug use and even turning up one's stereo early in the morning would be regarded by many as doing harm. Thus the pagan ethic is responsible and moral.
