What it is: Although Neopaganism does not have a single moral code, many currents emphasize responsibility, reciprocity, and the consequences of choices.

How the tradition understands it: Ethics can be formulated by maxims, honor, hospitality, reciprocity with gods and community, ecological care, or magical responsibility.

Textual basis and context: Ethical content varies according to the specific tradition and its inspiring sources.

Debates and variations: The absence of central magisterium makes ethics one of the most plural fields of Neopaganism.
