Paganism is a broad term that refers to various spiritual and religious beliefs that are often rooted in nature and ancient traditions. Unlike major world religions like Christianity or Islam, paganism encompasses a diverse range of practices and beliefs, often celebrating the cycles of nature, such as the changing seasons and the phases of the moon. Many pagans honor multiple deities, drawing inspiration from ancient mythologies and folklore. Modern paganism, sometimes called Neopaganism, includes movements like Wicca and Druidry. These practices often emphasize personal spirituality, rituals, and a deep connection to the earth. Pagans may celebrate festivals like Samhain or Beltane, which mark important seasonal changes and honor the natural world.
