Skyclad (Neopaganism)

To millions, the human body in its natural state is embarrassing, shameful, indecent or undignified. Its exposure provokes hostility, fear, nervous laughter or mockery. It threatens social standing, challenges order, infringes laws and is often punished with a severity bizarrely incommensurate with the offence. And they call Pagans irrational and superstitious. Not all Pagans regularly work skyclad — some do when alone but not in shared Circles, many alternate between skyclad and robed workings, and others always work in clothing of some sort — but most respect the practice and consider it a valid element of the modern Pagan tradition.
