Pagans do have a moral code: "If it harms none, do what you want."This does allow great freedom, but it also demands great responsibility. "Harm" means harm of any sort: physical, emotional, psychological, etc. "None" means not anyone and not anything: no person, no animal, no plant, no plot of land, not yourself, no nothing. Of course, it's impossible to cause zero harm at all--life feeds on life, as even vegetarians will admit. Staying healthy involves killing germs, bacteria, and viruses. The key, then, is to cause as little harm as possible while living life to its fullest. Pagans also believe in a threefold law, which states that whatever energies a person sends out returns upon her (or him) three times over. It's kind of like "Instant Karma," in that the cause-and-effect happens in the here-and-now, in this lifetime. Rewards and punishments do not accumulate and wait until after you die. However, some Pagans do believe in re-incarnation, and the Karma that follows them reflects the general pattern of their previous life.
