@idc228 google ecauldron and you will find a very useful site that continues to help me... for begginners there is a link on the home page 'pagan primer' and it's very helpful. Blessed Be
Thank you so much! I was not well educated paganism and this has helped alot. But is paganism just a belief everything has a soul or is even an official religion or what? Lol im just sort of trying to find myself spiritually, like what i believe and stuff you know? Any help is appreciated! Thx
I was looking back at the first comments and i was wondering... what the hell is a false religion????? I mean if you believe in theis than it is a religion, as for being false no one actually knows 100% what is 'real'. We all may be wrong and we all may be right...but no one knows. The point of religion as I see it is to believe in something so it doesn't feel like we're all living for nothing. Okay rant over. Anyway lovely video :)
There are many things to call it. I call it natural spirituality. I think it is healthy for the planet and the people living on it. The world needs it's Monotheists, Polytheists, neutrals, and atheists, and that isn't going to change.
I am a Falun Gong practitioner. Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School based on the principles of the Universe: 真 Truthfulness 善 Compassion 忍 Forbearance.
Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China. People are being killed, tortured, put into concentration camps and have organs harvested from live people, simply because of their belief. More than 3400 Falun Gong practitioners have died at the hands of CCP in the past 12 years.
Ok I am sooo confused on paganism... Paganism is ones own beliefs? Anyone can claim to be a Pagan? Like some religions require to be baptized or to worship at a church or a place of worship... What books could explain this more clear and in depth? Sorta like a bible but with paganism because I would like to learn more... From what I have read so far Paganism seems to be the most peaceful of all and I would like to learn as much as possible.
@idc228 i would definately recommend the book i used to help make this video. =) all the information i used here will be there plus some others ^^. it's called Paganism: An Introduction to Earth-centered Religions, by Joyce and River Higginbotham ^^
@idc228 paganism is the most peaceful of all. Christians believe that if we are not Christians then we will go to hell, pagans believe we are all free to make our own choices. Paganism is basically a belief that everythign is connected and has a soul, even hinduism is a form of paganism.
open to the wisdoms of all that is, you can see through the illusions, witches and wizards gathering in the forest to save the world, has happened forever, it is a language the universe understands, it must happen and it is happening now, the world is much bigger than we thought, but its okay, honoring the truth, casting off the shadows, of the oppression destroying tyranny of the machine of greed in the world.
That is a good point at 3:05 because without the Spiritual there NO physical, and without the Physical there is no Spiritual. The two are interconnected. Anyone that promotes a conflict between the two are promoting un-balance and evil.
Material things are just as important as Spiritual things. An un-balance of either one of these leads to a whole host of evils like superstition,a liking for evil hypnotic rythems,illness,sadness,depression etc Good Video
Your facts are 100% true. I would know as I myself am a Pagan.
On another page, the Christians stole the Cross from Paganism, and now use it against us, which I find so disgusting! Why would you even do that to such a beautiful practice? Next time a Christian tries to accuse me of evil, I'll remind them what they stole.
I was raised in a really devout Greek Orthodox christian family, and my parents always taught me that pagans were people that didn't believe in Jesus n stuff like that
as i got older i started to question my old beliefs ans i started getting very much int paganism. I can't really choose which form bc there's a lot i consider interesting, so i have my mixed beliefs which i'm pretty happy about now
@soul7711 Witches are usually wiccans NOT pagans. Pagans are for example the asatru like me. We follow the norse pantheon with Odin the allfather, Thor his son and many other gods and godesses. If you are interested to gain knowledge on asatru you can PM me.
why some experts says Pagan is a satan religion, in Philippines most of the scholars says before Spain arrives in our country back in 1400 where under by Pagan believes!
This was amazing, and I wish my stupid Christanity is the ONLY right way parents would see this, and learn that as a Wiccan Pagan I am not evil nor a devil worshipper or damned to their hell.
@jkadvices No. It's a symbol of protection and balance within the five elements, earth, water, fire, air, and spirit. It has no evil connotations at all.
I tried to join a pagan group in my home town but they ended up being a bunch of fat losers who know nothing about the beliefs and wander around in the woods naked with "fairy dust" and bogus magic shit.
Thanks for posting this video, I had started going down the wrong path & spotted this "beacon of light" watching this video. It really clarified many things or me. Thanks Again!
It really is a beautiful presentation! However, could you modify it to allow a bit more screen time for the info? I had to pause the video a couple times to read some of the information fully. Other than that, The different colored facts really added more life to the presentation and the pictures you chose added depth to the whole thing. Congrats!!!
lol, this is new age hippie shit. I'm pagan, I follow a lot of celtic beliefs, but wtf's with all the psychedelic peace and love signs? CELTIC PAGANISM WAS NOT PEACEFUL! Celts were headhunters who cut off their enemies' heads and nailed them to their front doors as decoration. Druids would perform human sacrifices by burning people alive in closed huts. I'm no head hunter, I don't murder, but please don't claim this is what paganism WAS, it's what modern society's made it into.
That is not entirely true. Peganism holds a strong belief of Polytheism. So it was up to the individual as to what god or gods they would worship. Some worshipped more masculine gods of war or the underworld which required sacrifices. Others worshipped more peaceful gods or godesses that reprisented fertility or healing. Peganism has always had a certain respect for nature as a devine though. Sure there were more barbaric pegans back in the bronze age, but it still remains the same.
@NNATHEW18 Pagan derives from the word 'paganus' which is Latin for 'common' or 'commoner.' As such, the concept of 'Paganism' refers to the common elements of philosophy and religion. The Celts and Picts may have been rowdy and certainly many American tribes have deep seeded roots in civil war and barbarism. It is important to distinguish though that these tribes were mostly competing for resources and not theological right or custom. As such, Paganism only adopts what creates unity.
Paganism is older than atleast 50000 years, and it is ever-changing and ever ameliorating. Christianity is a corruption on the spiritual-scientific ideas and ideals of paganism. The rituals that we stigmatize it by today are though about 4000 years old, and they changed at the Viking Age and many times before, only to become more accurate to the meaning of life.
paganism is a very misunderstood religion.i have to continuously explain to ppl its nto all witches and rituals.its opening up your soul an mind and becoming 1 with everything around you.u become capable of feeling the energy and power in everything around you.you preach to yourself and believe what you feel.
@VASquadRul3z pagan was used as a derogatory term as well (equibalent today would be hick-- aka redneck etc etc) paganni "people of the fields or country" so the list gets bigger. one god outside of "normal" (judeo-christian-islamic ) will do.
@VASquadRul3z i think they were talking about individual pagans and their own beliefs, not traditions. that's what i interpreted it as. cause they mentioned that a pagan can believe in 1 Deity, many Deities, or no Deity at all.
@OukaHimura123 actually very much so since the standard definition for paganism is"any religion that is not Jewish, christian or Islamic" and hi by the way :) blessed be! and have a happy samhain!
@OukaHimura123 Hi love the vid. Was wondering about the song though. I really liked it and wanted a copy myself. Any idea who made it? Where I can get it?
Okay, we need to clear up some mythological representation here.
First, in Ancient or Classical worship, there is no universal "Horned God". Complete invention by the Neo-Pagans. There are many gods that are horned (Pan, Cernunnos) but each of these gods are unique to their culture and context.
Second, as onemoredisease has stated, Halloween originally came from the Gaelic harvest festival of Samhain, and has been mixed with other traditions since.
@angemala That depends on what definition you go by. Christianity generally classifies all other religions as pagan. But I don't think that's what you mean. Neo-Paganism is a blanket term for a number of different religions. For example, Wicca is a Neo-Pagan religion, but Neo-Pagans are not all Wiccans.
There are some Neo-Pagan religions that share things in common with Buddhism, but I don't think there are any that share the main idea that this universe is an illusion to escape from.
Paganism is just like regular religion in regards that it's a belief that magic changes the possible outcomes in one's life. That's nonsense. Only actions can do this, not magical thinking.
i hate people mentioning christians hating pagans, or satan hating god, etc. paganism and forms of wiccanism are both one of the very first religions, even before Judaism, Christianity. Satanism was very much inspired by paganism, and their "horned god" was a form of evil to christians but he just wasnt. to satanist, "satan" or what ever you want to call him, is their god. just like a christian god, they look at them as a good person. and be proud for your religion. im a pagan, im happy
Great video, I wonder why it is we as pagans are so happy to leave other to enjoy their faith, but the same courtesy cannot be afforded to us in return...
The original Pagans were not religious. So, only neo-pagans are religious or at least they think thye are. There was no place for a witch or warlock in the original paganism. They loved natural they and paid there respects to it for providing nurishment. They did not worship the earth or the sky, They loved them! There is a big difference. The neo-pagans spend money to be taught neo-paganism where we original pagans just priactice it by growing our own food and takeing loving care of the earth!
Strong Wiccan bias, but good presentation. Your "facts" about paganism are not entirely accurate. Pagan is simply a name for any religion that is not Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Satanist. With such a range of belief systems, it's difficult to make blanket statements about paganism as you did. And the misspellings are disconcerting.
I am noticing a strong Wiccan bias on most of the "pagan" posts on this site--not just yours. It confuses newbies and pisses off some other pagans.
0:18 isnt that the all seeing eye of lucifer a broken inverted cross "PEACE SIGN" and a pentagram used to summon evil spirits. that is a very evil symbol. real talk. 3:56 really??? no seriously???
Nicely made video but it's really hard to speak for ALL pagans since there are so many different kinds of paganism (Wicca, Asatru, Druidry, Egyptian Paganism, just to name a few)
pagan is all about being a human being in nature...full of peace and moral... i have no idea why the religions like islam...chrisitianity and others have formed and destroyed humanity and peace..
Great video!! Christians don't even know that the Celts used the cross for spiritual matters long before they adopted it! And when Christians see a pentacle, they freak - they shouldn't - early Christians used it to represent the five wounds of christ. I am a Celtic Pagan - your video was quite nice, as was the beautiful music - I should use it for meditation!:). I also loved that image of the pentacle with Celtic knots!! I have almost the same image on my necklace. Blessed Be. )0(
It is proven that when a people is conquered as pagan tribes would have been by the Christians, that you assimilate certain portions of their beliefs into your practices in order to be able to convert as many as possible. I beg of you who are viewing the history of paganism to step outside of the comfort of the familiar, your own faith and view the actual historical facts. Many pagan beliefs were incorporated into christian teachings in order to reach the masses. Educate before you judge
Great video Dude. I love where it says 'some people choose not to believe in a deity', then the very next image is of a Dragon around a pentacle - some people think Goddess is a Dragon . . wouldn't that be nice . .
@230kimmie you should look into it and study a lot, i did and now im a proud Pagan and i have never been this happy, and i have never looked back good luck and blessed be
As for Christ's birth, he was supposedly born in the spring. You really need to read if you are going to tell people that they don't know what they are talking about. The church used December as his birth celebration to try to get Pagans to convert, rather than try to kill them all to snuff out the religion. I was Catholic for 27 years before I opened my eyes and saw that it was all stolen from the Pagans. All of it. I wised up and now follow the Asatru faith.
Ive never felt better even my wife and kid say i look happier and more mello . And no i dont worship the devil that is mans creation to find someone to blame when things go bad . We should realize that things go bad all the time is the nature of things part of life. Therefore theres no one to blame and if things where to go bad look deeper into it .Is it really your devil or your bad choice . brightest blessings

good video, but im still left wondering what would classify a pagan. by this video, everyone is a pagan.i am given the impression that everything may or may not be practiced by pagans. any info i can look up for further info ?
Keep your apologies to yourself for they cause you to lose tons of credibility. You did nothing wrong except to ignore that you are representing a group and in doing so, you must be responsible. You have typos throughout the video which causes the viewer to think "Damn, these Pagans are dumb. They obviously make shit up since they cant even spell". As a lifelong Pagan, I am offended each time a new member decides to deface us with good intentions and lazy spelling! "Ethinics"???
@zerepynot You don't seem to be a very happy Pagan. Your attack would make the reader think "Damb, these Pagans are anal. The obviously make shit up, cause they are so unhappy."
i would really love to see how many of the people who critisize paganism actually took the time out to study it and truly see what it is. ONLY then would they would have the right to TRY(and fail) to find wrong in this beautiful, nature loving religion
@PoohBearAttack I know i wish people would, but you you know what people say ignorance is bliss and the haters will ignore and believe what very they choose to.
careful.....you're dabbling in serious stuff, opening yourself up to all the forces of evil to rein in your life. Satan is real and is so cleaver to trick you into thinking otherwise. Only one name makes evil quiver and that's the name of JESUS! Laugh all you want , if I am wrong,....you have nothing to lose,....BUT if your wrong,...you have everything to lose including the eternal life you are promised if your choices are right here on earth. Your given a choice here. Choose wise!
@OukaHimura123: While that may be so, you should look up the origins of the word "Daemon." It is a Greco-Egyptian and therefore very much pagan concept that was made out to be evil by christians. Daemon actually means "divine entity replete with wisdom." Some of them are actually the Old Gods. They are not evil. I'm a Daemonolater btw.
@lordalastor99 Sorry to reply to a message that's seven months old, but could you explain what Daemonolatry is, exactly? It sounds like something I might be interested in, but I've only found that it's demon-worship and evil, which means that the google sites I saw where Christian-ified. So if you could explain exactly what it was all about, that'd be grand. BB )0(
@cigarafi ....Please, kill your self.. Satan? Forces of evil? So...Nature is evil now right!??? OH I KNOW, LETS GO DESTROY THE FOREST AND MAKE A CHURCH IN THE NAME OF JESUS!!!!!!!!!Where do you get your shit from sir?...and seriously i have never met a violent pagan since now, most of them are peaceful and open minded. Christians tend to be more closed minded and angry all the time. But maybe its just me, oh well...
@cigarafi Hmm whos not to say his point of view and yours is wrong, personally i think your religion just damns other peoples point of views and christanity just uses scare tatics to turn other people.
@cigarafi You could have everything to lose if you're wrong. What if you're wrong and the real God sends people to hell for being a Christian. If there are deitys than almost all of us take some risks when it comes to our beliefs.
@cigarafi What we risk is wasting this beautiful life we were given. To spend it living in fear, cowering, and begging forgiveness for our natural beautiful emotions. That's worse than any pit of hellfire
@cigarafi All I have to lose is turning my back on all which is good and beautiful in the world because of fear of some fictional Paradise Lost hell. To live a homophobic, xenophobic, misogynistic, self righteous, judgmental life all because I'm scared that the god who created this beautiful world is some kind of psychopathic egomaniac? I wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror if I gave up all I hold dear for so little.
And choose wise I shall. I choose the path of the wise. The only path that feels right to me. May your chosen path bring you the same happiness that mine does for me. Blessed be brother.
I find it funny how these so called Pagans are American, anime loving, basement dwelling, teenagers who listen to rock music. Paganism never had a set of rules, or Gods, it was just a term for the beliefs of people in Europe before Christianity. Paganism is NOT a religion. It's an old belief that's turned into a modern day trend, along with vampires and werewolves (e.g. Twilight)
I only recently left Christianity for Paganism. Which branch or any for that matter I've yet to decide. However what I can tell you since i have a fresh outlook is that ALL religions have good and bad people. There are people who cause problems for Christians as well as Pagans. It's all about Balance. I don't think any ONE religion is correct. I think that as long as you are a GOOD and Moral person to a point, then you are rewarded. (Karma, reincarnating to a better status, heaven)
@christiankirsch hmm i see i left christianity for paganism too .. why
because i see paganism is true and its all about that there are limits unreached
in paganism so its also knowledge for ever. but we must keep balance , what i see
is there is a god comming he is the one that is the highest from all others and the goverment knows it very wel. its not far away and you will know it tooo
(Neo)-Paganism, despite all its diverse forms, can definitely be seen as one of the most positive, tolerant, and non-aggressive religions. The general message is so much more respectful and humanistic than that of Abrahamic religions. It's also among the few that have a lot of respect for animals, rather than regarding them as inferior servants to man.
Of course in the ends it's not the belief system itself that counts but what the individual makes of it.
@SkallagrimNilsson Actually, it's well account that Pagans in ancient Britain would sacrifice animals to oak trees which they saw as Gods, or Protectors. But I'll assume you're talking about all this modern day Paganism nonsense.
Yes, I am talking about modern Paganism, otherwise it would not make much sense to use the term 'Paganism' at all. I would have referred to a particular religion in that case.
mHow do you figure that the "religion" wicca meets the majority of requirements...as set out by who?? Spirituality of ancient beliefs...funny line there since you cannot define those beliefs but borrow from other relgions and expouse them as your own. "harm none do as ye will:..sounds a lot like " do unto others as they would do unto you"...but of course, can't word it like that.. too christian..lol..
@wartmcbeighn Most Wiccans believe its not there religion that was worship like it is in the modern since. We say that we worship the way our ancestors did which is why most people chose European gods. Harm none do as ye will was adopted from Celtic origins. In Egypt and Greece there were cults that focused on the female aspect like the cult of Isis or the cult of Hecate.
Two concepts of paganism according to who??? There is no common theology external to the so called pagan " religion", it would appear to be a do-it-yourself religion that has no theology of standard belief system. All so called "pagans" do is borrow from other religions or make it up as you go along. Paganisn is not a recognied religion and , funny enough, doesnt have a non tax status which coincidentally identifies real religions from cults.
@wartmcbeighn paganism and wicca became an legaly recognized as a religion protected under the 1st amendment to the Constituion in 1985 thanks to the Dettmer vs. Landon case. granted the faith emphasizes personal responsibility. we meet a majority of requirements to be considered a Religious Organization. our spirituality is that of the ancient beliefs. you might want to start doing your homework.
Actually, most pagans do have some sort of baptism ritual. It's not to initiate the person into the faith but to ask their god or gods to protect (usually infants.) Wiccans have wiccanings, others have awakenings etc. Still, nice video.
Good job dude! Before this I was blinded and I thought that Pagans were satanist whores and shit, but you really opened my eyes...thanks and keep up the good job. Were all humans who cares what religious beliefs or what political beliefs you know?
all very valid points. the best one is the fact that. you can not call all pagans the same. we have 3 things in common (in most cases) 1.) HARM NON DO AS YE WILL 2.) ANYTHING YOU SEND OUT COMES BACK 3 FOLD 3.) DO NOT USE FOR PERSONAL GAIN.
do some resarch and open your closed brain washed christian mind,,,christianity "incorporated" or dare i point out stole many symbols and beliefs from paganism including many holidays such as christmas. that star is a PENTAGRAM and not satanic. if it was inverted then it would be considered satanic. yet satan as a BAD influence or demonic conception was incorperated and manifested by christianity. dont tell others to research if you arent willing to truly do the same!
That star is 'santanic'. 'Gangs' has that same STAR. its 'alchmey'. 'witches' use it. that star is in many places threw history.the power comes from the belief in it. with out belief there is no power. Paganism threw out history was WRONG and is wrong. Paganism is mix with christiany sad to say. I pray for you all to see the truth. the devil is a mastermind. the human mind can not grasp his power. instead of following it. research its history....
@Beamacaleone i do not see how it is an evil symbol if it it represents the five elements: air, fire, water, earth, and spirit and the connections they all have to each other. granted many groups of people like the renegade christians (Satanists) have used an iverted image of our pentacle, but they have also used an inverted version of your cross. does that mean that automatically your cross is also satanic? no.
@OukaHimura123 yes and those elements are for magic(dark). wake-up out your dream. a satanist just said he respect your religion. do you know why? Because he know just like i know. davids star, the eye of horus,are part of what he believe. And my religion doesnt mess with the cross. Jesus died on a STAKE not cross.
@Beamacaleone Ok, I'm a former Catholic and I can tell you...It was definitely a cross. The Romans favored executing certain political enemies on this torture device shaped like a T with two beams CROSSING eachother thus giving it its name, the cross. But, how Christ died on the cross is actually completely wrong from how it is portrayed. Christ's feet were actually nailed to the sides of the vertical beam and his hands were nailed so they would cause trouble breathing.
@OukaHimura123 Early Christians used the pentacle to represent the 5 wounds of Christ and early Satanists used an inverted pentacle to mock the Christians. The reason why the cross isn't satanic is because one of the apostles was crucified upside down on a cross
@Beamacaleone (continuing on from my last post) Satan was created by early Jews and Christians and with you he will stay. Satanists (esp. renegade Christians) are branched off of Christianity, they are with you as well. it is also like the Nazi's using a symbol of Peace, now that is all people see, never realizing it's true meaning.
@OukaHimura123 correction, the idea of Satan was made by Christian missionaries encountering Celtic Pagan tribes who worshipped the Horned God Cernunnos and the Fire Goddess Brighid. The Christian missionaries, in an attempt to convert the "evil Pagan Heathens" turned Brighid into St. Bridgett and Cernunnos into the evil horned devil
@OnTheJourneyHome0 he was created by early Hebrew though, he just didn't have a distinct appearance at the time nor was he the "embodiment of evil". though i do agree, Early Christians gave him that appearance at the time for that reason ^_^
@OukaHimura123 Well said. In the OT he was lucifer, and as shown in job wasn't all that separated from god. The jews are far more reticent about talking about anything to do with death. If your average christian knew 1/1000th of the history of their faith, they would be bust reading instead of preaching.
@Beamacaleone actually, Christianity is mixed with Paganism. Have you ever wondered why you hunt easter eggs, or why you celebrate All Hallows Eve near Hallowe'en, or why Christmas is in December instead of Spring when Christ really should have been born? The answer to these questions is Paganism.
@OnTheJourneyHome0 since when is halloween conected with christianity? america barrowed the concept from mexico! THE DAY OF THE DEAD easter egg hunting isnt part of the christian religion.I beg you to find some evidence in the bible.just because we celebate christmas in dec. doesnt mean that we are mixed with paganism. the only other bullcrap theory is that we moved the date to cover up one of your holidays.please dont equate christianity with a anything u want to believe goes kind of religion.
@TheAdh101 and before it was known as halloween it was all hallows even and the Celtic holiday Samhain, which is the pagan new year, and means the end of summer, and the harvest.
Halloween is based on the Catholic All Saints Day, which in turn is based on the Pagan cross-quarter holiday called Samhain in English. Easter and Christmas have little to nothing to do with Christianity. "Easter" is the name of a Gallic fertility goddess, if your bible is accurate, Yeshuah of Nazereth would have to have been crucified in late summer. Christmas is only Christian in name. It is based off of Yule. again, if the Bible is accurate, Yeshuah was born in late August.
@TheAdh101 europe has alot of pagan holidays that have the same qualities as holloween so its not mexican maybe mexicans have there own holiday that look like holloween but that doesnt mean they were the only ones trying to scare of the evil spirits
@TheAdh101 you should read other things besides the bible. don't be afraid of knowledge because it might shatter your preconceptions on what you already believe evolve, grow, it is the way of God.
@TheAdh101 Seriously?! "America 'barrowed' the concept (of Halloween) from Mexico"? Aagh! Halloween began in England, before America had been discovered by Europeans. It was another attempt for xtians to take over the old holidays, such as Samhain. If you're going to correct the idiot xtians, please be accurate!
@TheAdh101 "Halloween" was originally created by the Pagan Celtic tribes and formed into what we know Halloween to be today by Christian missionaries. Mexico actually "borrowed" the tradition of the Day of The Dead from the Aztec culture and there for does not celebrate the holiday of Halloween. Halloween was imported here by Irish immigrants.
@TheAdh101 The Americans did not get Halloween from Mexico - the Irish brought it over. The Day of the Dead is a Catholic tradition blended with the native people's culture in Mexico.
Also, the Christians choose to celebrate the birth of Christ in December (althought he was actually born in the spring) to represent re-birth, hope, and new life in the dead of winter. The pagan traditions mixed in with the Christian holiday came from the pagans who lived in the area.

I have to agree with the statements being said about the new age pagan rhetoric...
Though paganism is a word for a wide range of beliefs, it is not ALL sunshine and rainbows.
There is a duality that many overlook.
I am pagan, and I promote peace.
However, just as the those that came before me, I am ready to wage war on anyone who would oppress or harm myself or those around me.
There is a bloody and violent side to paganism that few "new age pagans" are willing to accept or even research.

@idc228 Paganism is called 'paganism' not by pagans themselves.
Paganism is not 'ones own belief in smth', and definitely theres is no book 'sorta like a Bible but with paganism'.
Perhaps you think so, 'cause ancient beliefs is centered on Nature and processes in it. And there is no more natural as Nature itself.

@idc228 paganism is the most peaceful of all. Christians believe that if we are not Christians then we will go to hell, pagans believe we are all free to make our own choices. Paganism is basically a belief that everythign is connected and has a soul, even hinduism is a form of paganism.

open to the wisdoms of all that is, you can see through the illusions, witches and wizards gathering in the forest to save the world, has happened forever, it is a language the universe understands, it must happen and it is happening now, the world is much bigger than we thought, but its okay, honoring the truth, casting off the shadows, of the oppression destroying tyranny of the machine of greed in the world.

That is a good point at 3:05 because without the Spiritual there NO physical, and without the Physical there is no Spiritual. The two are interconnected. Anyone that promotes a conflict between the two are promoting un-balance and evil.
Material things are just as important as Spiritual things. An un-balance of either one of these leads to a whole host of evils like superstition,a liking for evil hypnotic rythems,illness,sadness,depression etc Good Video

On another page, the Christians stole the Cross from Paganism, and now use it against us, which I find so disgusting! Why would you even do that to such a beautiful practice? Next time a Christian tries to accuse me of evil, I'll remind them what they stole.

I was raised in a really devout Greek Orthodox christian family, and my parents always taught me that pagans were people that didn't believe in Jesus n stuff like that
as i got older i started to question my old beliefs ans i started getting very much int paganism. I can't really choose which form bc there's a lot i consider interesting, so i have my mixed beliefs which i'm pretty happy about now

Celts were headhunters who cut off their enemies' heads and nailed them to their front doors as decoration. Druids would perform human sacrifices by burning people alive in closed huts. I'm no head hunter, I don't murder, but please don't claim this is what paganism WAS, it's what modern society's made it into.
NNATHEW18 1 year ago
@NNATHEW18
That is not entirely true. Peganism holds a strong belief of Polytheism. So it was up to the individual as to what god or gods they would worship. Some worshipped more masculine gods of war or the underworld which required sacrifices. Others worshipped more peaceful gods or godesses that reprisented fertility or healing. Peganism has always had a certain respect for nature as a devine though. Sure there were more barbaric pegans back in the bronze age, but it still remains the same.
Skwafatch 11 months ago
@NNATHEW18 Pagan derives from the word 'paganus' which is Latin for 'common' or 'commoner.' As such, the concept of 'Paganism' refers to the common elements of philosophy and religion. The Celts and Picts may have been rowdy and certainly many American tribes have deep seeded roots in civil war and barbarism. It is important to distinguish though that these tribes were mostly competing for resources and not theological right or custom. As such, Paganism only adopts what creates unity.
OakOracle 11 months ago
Paganism is older than atleast 50000 years, and it is ever-changing and ever ameliorating. Christianity is a corruption on the spiritual-scientific ideas and ideals of paganism. The rituals that we stigmatize it by today are though about 4000 years old, and they changed at the Viking Age and many times before, only to become more accurate to the meaning of life.

Okay, we need to clear up some mythological representation here.
First, in Ancient or Classical worship, there is no universal "Horned God". Complete invention by the Neo-Pagans. There are many gods that are horned (Pan, Cernunnos) but each of these gods are unique to their culture and context.
Second, as onemoredisease has stated, Halloween originally came from the Gaelic harvest festival of Samhain, and has been mixed with other traditions since.

angemala 1 year ago
@angemala That depends on what definition you go by. Christianity generally classifies all other religions as pagan. But I don't think that's what you mean. Neo-Paganism is a blanket term for a number of different religions. For example, Wicca is a Neo-Pagan religion, but Neo-Pagans are not all Wiccans.
There are some Neo-Pagan religions that share things in common with Buddhism, but I don't think there are any that share the main idea that this universe is an illusion to escape from.

The original Pagans were not religious. So, only neo-pagans are religious or at least they think thye are. There was no place for a witch or warlock in the original paganism. They loved natural they and paid there respects to it for providing nurishment. They did not worship the earth or the sky, They loved them! There is a big difference. The neo-pagans spend money to be taught neo-paganism where we original pagans just priactice it by growing our own food and takeing loving care of the earth!
Engineer245 1 year ago 2
Strong Wiccan bias, but good presentation. Your "facts" about paganism are not entirely accurate. Pagan is simply a name for any religion that is not Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Satanist. With such a range of belief systems, it's difficult to make blanket statements about paganism as you did. And the misspellings are disconcerting.
I am noticing a strong Wiccan bias on most of the "pagan" posts on this site--not just yours. It confuses newbies and pisses off some other pagans.

It is proven that when a people is conquered as pagan tribes would have been by the Christians, that you assimilate certain portions of their beliefs into your practices in order to be able to convert as many as possible. I beg of you who are viewing the history of paganism to step outside of the comfort of the familiar, your own faith and view the actual historical facts. Many pagan beliefs were incorporated into christian teachings in order to reach the masses. Educate before you judge

As for Christ's birth, he was supposedly born in the spring. You really need to read if you are going to tell people that they don't know what they are talking about. The church used December as his birth celebration to try to get Pagans to convert, rather than try to kill them all to snuff out the religion. I was Catholic for 27 years before I opened my eyes and saw that it was all stolen from the Pagans. All of it. I wised up and now follow the Asatru faith.

@OukaHimura123: While that may be so, you should look up the origins of the word "Daemon." It is a Greco-Egyptian and therefore very much pagan concept that was made out to be evil by christians.

(Neo)-Paganism, despite all its diverse forms, can definitely be seen as one of the most positive, tolerant, and non-aggressive religions. The general message is so much more respectful and humanistic than that of Abrahamic religions. It's also among the few that have a lot of respect for animals, rather than regarding them as inferior servants to man.
Of course in the ends it's not the belief system itself that counts but what the individual makes of it.

Two concepts of paganism according to who??? There is no common theology external to the so called pagan " religion", it would appear to be a do-it-yourself religion that has no theology of standard belief system. All so called "pagans" do is borrow from other religions or make it up as you go along. Paganisn is not a recognied religion and , funny enough, doesnt have a non tax status which coincidentally identifies real religions from cults.

Good job dude! Before this I was blinded and I thought that Pagans were satanist whores and shit, but you really opened my eyes...thanks and keep up the good job. Were all humans who cares what religious beliefs or what political beliefs you know?

all very valid points. the best one is the fact that. you can not call all pagans the same. we have 3 things in common (in most cases) 1.) HARM NON DO AS YE WILL 2.) ANYTHING YOU SEND OUT COMES BACK 3 FOLD 3.) DO NOT USE FOR PERSONAL GAIN.

do some resarch and open your closed brain washed christian mind,,,christianity "incorporated" or dare i point out stole many symbols and beliefs from paganism including many holidays such as christmas. that star is a PENTAGRAM and not satanic. if it was inverted then it would be considered satanic. yet satan as a BAD influence or demonic conception was incorperated and manifested by christianity. dont tell others to research if you arent willing to truly do the same!

That star is 'santanic'. 'Gangs' has that same STAR. its 'alchmey'. 'witches' use it. that star is in many places threw history.the power comes from the belief in it. with out belief there is no power. Paganism threw out history was WRONG and is wrong. Paganism is mix with christiany sad to say. I pray for you all to see the truth. the devil is a mastermind. the human mind can not grasp his power. instead of following it. research its history....

@Beamacaleone i do not see how it is an evil symbol if it it represents the five elements: air, fire, water, earth, and spirit and the connections they all have to each other. granted many groups of people like the renegade christians (Satanists) have used an iverted image of our pentacle, but they have also used an inverted version of your cross. does that mean that automatically your cross is also satanic? no.
OukaHimura123 1 year ago
@OukaHimura123 yes and those elements are for magic(dark). wake-up out your dream. a satanist just said he respect your religion. do you know why? Because he know just like i know. davids star, the eye of horus,are part of what he believe. And my religion doesnt mess with the cross. Jesus died on a STAKE not cross.
Beamacaleone 1 year ago
@Beamacaleone Ok, I'm a former Catholic and I can tell you...It was definitely a cross. The Romans favored executing certain political enemies on this torture device shaped like a T with two beams CROSSING eachother thus giving it its name, the cross. But, how Christ died on the cross is actually completely wrong from how it is portrayed. Christ's feet were actually nailed to the sides of the vertical beam and his hands were nailed so they would cause trouble breathing.

@OukaHimura123 Early Christians used the pentacle to represent the 5 wounds of Christ and early Satanists used an inverted pentacle to mock the Christians. The reason why the cross isn't satanic is because one of the apostles was crucified upside down on a cross

@Beamacaleone (continuing on from my last post) Satan was created by early Jews and Christians and with you he will stay. Satanists (esp. renegade Christians) are branched off of Christianity, they are with you as well. it is also like the Nazi's using a symbol of Peace, now that is all people see, never realizing it's true meaning.

@OukaHimura123 correction, the idea of Satan was made by Christian missionaries encountering Celtic Pagan tribes who worshipped the Horned God Cernunnos and the Fire Goddess Brighid. The Christian missionaries, in an attempt to convert the "evil Pagan Heathens" turned Brighid into St. Bridgett and Cernunnos into the evil horned devil

@OnTheJourneyHome0 he was created by early Hebrew though, he just didn't have a distinct appearance at the time nor was he the "embodiment of evil". though i do agree, Early Christians gave him that appearance at the time for that reason ^_^

@OukaHimura123 Well said. In the OT he was lucifer, and as shown in job wasn't all that separated from god. The jews are far more reticent about talking about anything to do with death. If your average christian knew 1/1000th of the history of their faith, they would be bust reading instead of preaching.

@Beamacaleone actually, Christianity is mixed with Paganism. Have you ever wondered why you hunt easter eggs, or why you celebrate All Hallows Eve near Hallowe'en, or why Christmas is in December instead of Spring when Christ really should have been born? The answer to these questions is Paganism.
OnTheJourneyHome0 1 year ago
@OnTheJourneyHome0 since when is halloween conected with christianity? america barrowed the concept from mexico! THE DAY OF THE DEAD easter egg hunting isnt part of the christian religion.I beg you to find some evidence in the bible.just because we celebate christmas in dec. doesnt mean that we are mixed with paganism. the only other bullcrap theory is that we moved the date to cover up one of your holidays.please dont equate christianity with a anything u want to believe goes kind of religion.

@TheAdh101 and before it was known as halloween it was all hallows even and the Celtic holiday Samhain, which is the pagan new year, and means the end of summer, and the harvest.
OukaHimura123 1 year ago 19
@TheAdh101
Halloween is based on the Catholic All Saints Day, which in turn is based on the Pagan cross-quarter holiday called Samhain in English. Easter and Christmas have little to nothing to do with Christianity. "Easter" is the name of a Gallic fertility goddess, if your bible is accurate, Yeshuah of Nazereth would have to have been crucified in late summer. Christmas is only Christian in name. It is based off of Yule. again, if the Bible is accurate, Yeshuah was born in late August.

@TheAdh101 europe has alot of pagan holidays that have the same qualities as holloween so its not mexican maybe mexicans have there own holiday that look like holloween but that doesnt mean they were the only ones trying to scare of the evil spirits

@TheAdh101 you should read other things besides the bible. don't be afraid of knowledge because it might shatter your preconceptions on what you already believe evolve, grow, it is the way of God.

@TheAdh101 Seriously?! "America 'barrowed' the concept (of Halloween) from Mexico"? Aagh! Halloween began in England, before America had been discovered by Europeans. It was another attempt for xtians to take over the old holidays, such as Samhain. If you're going to correct the idiot xtians, please be accurate!

@TheAdh101 "Halloween" was originally created by the Pagan Celtic tribes and formed into what we know Halloween to be today by Christian missionaries. Mexico actually "borrowed" the tradition of the Day of The Dead from the Aztec culture and there for does not celebrate the holiday of Halloween. Halloween was imported here by Irish immigrants.
OnTheJourneyHome0 1 year ago
@TheAdh101 The Americans did not get Halloween from Mexico - the Irish brought it over. The Day of the Dead is a Catholic tradition blended with the native people's culture in Mexico.
Also, the Christians choose to celebrate the birth of Christ in December (althought he was actually born in the spring) to represent re-birth, hope, and new life in the dead of winter. The pagan traditions mixed in with the Christian holiday came from the pagans who lived in the area.
