Earth-centered religions
Earth-centered religions, also known as nature-based or pagan religions, emphasize the spiritual significance of the Earth, natural elements, and ecosystems. They often honor land, waters, celestial bodies, and natural cycles, viewing them as sacred. Practitioners may celebrate seasonal festivals, observe lunar phases, or conduct rituals that connect with nature’s rhythms. These religions typically emphasize harmony with the environment, reverence for ancestors, and the belief that the divine resides within nature itself. Examples include Earth religions, Wicca, Druidry, and certain indigenous spiritual traditions. They foster a deep respect and connection to the natural world.
