About Us – “The Centre For Pagan Studies is a charity with objects as follows – “
To provide information on the principles and practice of paganism in its various forms for the benefit of all, and to give public education in order to 1/ reduce defamation of the people who follow a pagan path 2/ to facilitate pagans to learn more and research their chosen path.”
Formed in 1995 by John and Julie Belham-Payne, the Centre was put together as a resource facility for those wishing to learn more about the ancient religions of the world and to connect with speakers, authors and authorities on various pagan related topics.
We have many projects which we have already formed over the years, and continue to execute and develop, Blue Plaques for noted people in the pagan community, book publishing, events, conferences. Now in 2021, we are mostly online, and we have an exciting plan for expansion of the Centre For Pagan Studies starting with a vibrant and diverse online events schedule with plans for live exhibitions and conferences in the coming years, and are looking for discerning people with a professional approach to form a great media team with us.“
