Paganism?

[jeffreycc]

I've attempted to develop an understanding of Paganism through a bit of research and I can't find a clear explanation of what Paganism is about and how it can relate to anarchism. I kind of discovered it through the folk band Omnia, I recommend checking them out whether or not you are Pagan, I believe they are anarchists as well. If any of you would care to enlighten me on this subject I'd appreciate it.

Wikipedia is pretty good at describing popular things like paganism without incorporating incorrect content. Paganism, to me, is just as stupid as any other theology. In essence it is traditional polytheism relating to the "classical world".

Paganism 101:
Some people see it as a religion, some see it as a culture and some see it as a spirituality. There are no set beliefs in paganism and there are many, many types.

There are even atheistic pagans, who consider their gods to just be archetypes they can interact with.

I somewhat do the same thing. However my archetypes are not gods but just modified versions of everyday objects and other sorts of things.

What kind of paganism are you thinking about?

It seems like there is an endless amount of kinds. It also seems to be extremely individualistic and doesn't adhere to any sort of dogma. More spiritual than religious if that makes sense.

I was asking about if you had a particular interest in paganism. Like, I'm not pagan or greek, but I really like old school greek mythology.

Unless you're looking for just a general idea of neopaganism. Then, yeah, what you described fits that (also, one in every 20 is a fascist who's pagan for prechristian land and blood shit)

Oh well yeah I guess so. It just contrasts in many ways to the popular monotheistic world religions, Christianity for example obviously, by not being dogmatic (depending though on who you ask) and such. But I'm not exactly looking to "convert" or anything.

There was another thread somewhere about Paganism and Fascism. It seems nearly anything can become fascist, well to an extent.

Today I learned I'm a pagan Atheist. :lol:

That's similar to my beliefs, too.
