2. ethics to etiquette
When we speak of ethics and etiquette in relation to paganism what
are we referring to? Are we speaking of outdated rules and
actions that no longer have meaning and we only give lip service
to? I don't believe so. Ethics and etiquette are living, breathing
codes of life, shaping our actions in relation to each other, and
ourselves. They are a guiding force in the way we live our lives.
Let us first look at ethics. Ethics are defined as --a set of principles;
moral philosophy; rules or standards governing the conduct of a
person or the members of a profession; human duty; a particular
system of principles and rules concerning duty, whether true or
false; rules of practice in respect to a single class of human
actions; motivation based on ideas of right and wrong; the
philosophical study of moral values and rules.

moral principles that relates
to the difference between
good and bad.

or conscience whereas etiquette is related to behavior.
