If someone wanted to learn Paganism-based lingo, what terms & their definitions would you teach them?

If you were going to create a Pagan-based glossary to help someone learn the lingo for these religions, what terms, their definitions, how they relate to Paganism, and proper pronounciations would you include? Things like proper names for items used, phrases such as "blessed be," holiday names, etc.
For example, all Jews should know what a mezuzah is, all Hindus should know what karma is, all Muslims should know what PBUH means, etc. What terms would be handy for someone to know to understand a conversation about Paganism and Pagan religions?
Please answer based on how you personally define "Pagan" and what is Pagan to you.

Magick -- the art and science of causing change in accordance with Will.
