Paganism | Vibepedia

Paganism encompasses a broad range of polytheistic religious practices that have existed throughout history, often in contrast to the monotheistic Abrahamic religions. The term, derived from the Latin 'paganus' meaning 'rustic,' was initially used by early Christians to describe those who did not adhere to Christianity. Paganism has been a part of various cultures, including ancient Greek and Roman religions, and continues to influence modern spiritual movements. Key figures such as [[gerald-gardner|Gerald Gardner]] and [[aleister-crowley|Aleister Crowley]] have played significant roles in shaping contemporary pagan thought.
