What is a pagan?

Paganism is a term used to describe a range of spiritual or religious beliefs and practices that are not Abrahamic (Judaism, Christianity, Islam). Paganism is an umbrella term that encompasses many different paths, including Wicca, Druidism, Asatru, and more.

Pagans honor the natural world and see divinity in all things. They often celebrate the cycles of the seasons and the phases of the moon. Many pagans work with deities from various mythologies, such as the Greek or Norse pantheons, while others may work with nature spirits or ancestors.

Paganism is a diverse and varied path, but a few common beliefs and practices include:

  • Worship of the natural world
  • An emphasis on personal responsibility and ethics
  • A belief in the power of magic and the ability to manifest change in the world
  • The use of ritual and ceremony to honor and connect with the divine
  • An acknowledgement of the cycles of birth, life, death, and rebirth

Overall, paganism is a deeply personal and individualistic path that allows practitioners to connect with the spiritual world in their own unique way.
