Paganism

Paganism is a broad term that refers to spiritual or religious practices outside of the world’s major organized religions, particularly Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Historically, it was used to describe the polytheistic beliefs of ancient cultures, such as the Greeks, Romans, and Celts, who worshipped multiple gods and nature spirits. Modern paganism, often called Neo-Paganism, includes traditions like Wicca, Druidry, and Heathenry. These practices emphasize reverence for nature, seasonal cycles, and the divine in various forms, often drawing on ancient myths and rituals. Paganism is generally decentralized, with a focus on personal spirituality and connection to the natural world.
