Paganism
Paganism, sometimes called Neopaganism, describes a wide variety of religions, each with their own set of beliefs, structure and style of worship. Some mainstream Pagan religions include Wicca, Druidry and Reclaiming. Though diverse in their beliefs, Pagans share a conviction that the Earth is sacred, which is why they are sometimes called “Earth-Centered Religions.”
Another commonly held belief is that the Divine can be found in both masculine and feminine im¬ages—God and Goddess. A third belief is that all things are interconnected. This worldview provides for some common ground to be found among Pagans. Inspiration for worship is drawn from ancient myths and practices of the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Norse and many other cultures. Modern interpretations emphasize an individual’s relationship with the sacred, a respect for diversity, and that we all walk our paths with authenticity.
