The Neo-Pagan Movement

The Neo-Pagan movement is a modern religious revival that draws inspiration from ancient pagan traditions, nature worship, and folklore. It emphasizes spiritual connection to the natural world, seasonal cycles, and divine aspects often expressed as gods or goddesses. Practitioners may engage in rituals, festivals, and practices rooted in historical pagan beliefs, adapting them to contemporary life. The movement is diverse, including traditions like Wicca, Druidry, and Heathenry, and tends to promote values of environmentalism, spirituality, and personal empowerment, often eschewing hierarchical structures found in mainstream religions.
