Because Pagans and Wiccans are pretty liberal-minded when it comes to bedroom-related stuff, it's not uncommon to find people in the Pagan community who are part of a polyamorous relationship. Before we get into the whys and hows, though, let's clear up a few definitions so we're all on the same page...

Polyamory, on the other hand, is not related to marriage at all, although it's not uncommon to find polyamorous people who have had a commitment ceremony with one or more of their partners. Polyamory means a group of three or more people who have loving and committed relationships with one another. Open communication between all parties prevents anyone from feeling unequal, and both male and female partners make sure that any boundaries are set ahead of time.

Again, Pagans tend to be very open and liberal about their sexuality, which is why you may encounter polyamorous groups at public Pagan events or even within your own coven or tradition. It's hard to describe a traditional polyamorous relationship, however, because by its very nature, polyamory is non-traditional. It may consist of members who are heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, or a combination of all three. Some poly relationships have what they consider the "primary" couple, followed by "secondary" partners. Really, it all depends on how the people involved wish to structure things.
