Pagan traditions refer to a variety of spiritual practices and beliefs that are often rooted in nature and ancient customs. These traditions typically celebrate the cycles of the seasons, such as the solstices and equinoxes, and may involve rituals that honor the earth, the elements, and various deities. Many pagans also emphasize the importance of community and connection to the natural world. Common pagan practices include Wicca, Druidry, and Heathenry, each with its own unique beliefs and rituals. Pagans may use symbols, such as the pentacle or triskelion, in their practices and often celebrate festivals like Samhain and Beltane. These traditions promote a deep respect for nature and the interconnectedness of all living things.
