Neo-Paganism
Neo-Paganism is a modern spiritual movement that draws inspiration from ancient pagan beliefs and practices. It encompasses a variety of traditions, often focusing on nature worship, polytheism, and the reverence of deities from various cultures, such as Celtic, Norse, and Greco-Roman traditions. Many Neo-Pagans celebrate seasonal festivals, like the Wheel of the Year, which includes events such as Samhain and Beltane.
Practitioners of Neo-Paganism often emphasize personal spirituality and the importance of connecting with the natural world. Rituals may involve the use of symbols, altars, and tools like wands or chalices. The movement is diverse, with various paths, including Wicca, Druidry, and Heathenry, each offering unique beliefs and practices.
