Many Pagans today have adapted some from of Karma into thier beleif system, the Three Fold Law, of the Wiccans, springs from the ideas of Karma, though Karama was never orignaly apart of traditional Pagansim, but came from the Hindu and Buddhists relgions, it has overtime began to enter into the Pagan fold, though in doing so it has also been transformed and adapted, primairly the changes and adaptations made to orginal Karmic beleif are on an individual basis, each person has thier own way of interpeting it.

The basic idea of Karma relates to energy, our energy and the energy which presides in every living thing and makes up the fabric of life, that is to say. Karma is the idea that everything a person does, every action they commit will in some way or another come back around to them, this has to do with the idea what if you for example do good works and deeds you help produce positive energy around yourself and this can affect the things that happen around you, having posistive energy can help clear obsticals out of the way and clings to your soul, and consequently if you do bad things you will attract and produce negative energy which can hinder you.

It is also a basic beleif that Karam not only can affect you in the here and now but as you accumulitate both positive and negative energy which will stay attached to your soul and stay with you, so that it might have some bearing and affect upon your afterlife or your rebirth as the case may be depending upon what you beleive.
