He is very broad-minded and impossible to categorize. He blends Celtic folk music into his eclectic mix of styles, and he does have a number of songs that are very pagan oriented. Also the wild-eyed paganistic image is big part of his stage persona. He has also put out a vast amount of other songs which indicate other perspectives. In interviews he has said that he is somewhere between a deist and a pantheist, more on the Eastern side. Anyone who is into all this deep stuff would do well to explore all the music of Jethro Tull, as it contains a wealth of insights.
