Essentials Of Faith - Paganism - A preview. Shown on ITV1 3rd of September 2007

Drawing on ancient spirituality, most pagans sum up their chosen form of worship within a modern "green" context. Some follow druidry, others wicca, while a third brand promotes the shamanism of hunter-gatherer cultures. This program sheds light on various examples of pagan devotion put forward by four observers of ancient religious rites and customs. Through straightforward explanations and heartfelt expression, the sundry shapes and species of Paganism are explained by Druid priestess Emma Restall Orr, Professor Ronald Hutton of the University of Bristol, British coven organizer Jeanette Ellis, and shamanic practitioner Leo Rutherford. (24 minutes)

Paganism is just a hippies' and neo-luddites absurd dogma

[Faeden]

@Neueregel I do not know many Pagans that are dogmatic and that believe you must believe this or that, one of the things that attracts many people to it and away from mainstream religions is because of its lack of dogmatic beliefs, may I kindly advise you study it more?

How very civilised, a Pagan circle with plastic garden chairs - not too close to the fire I hope. And of course Tom Baker's narration adds serious ambience - all that is missing is his famouse "Britain, Britain, Britain...". If you want to study Paganism read Prof. Hutton's 'Stations of the Sun' or 'The Triumph of the Moon'. If you want to expeience Paganism, sit out in an open field for a day and night and just listen and see all that Nature has to offer.

@ROTTIMAN31 I agree it's one of the paths to interpret some things. It's a respectable path because it goes against the Abrahamic mainstream and most followers have a mind of their own, and aren't massively brainwashed like Muslim or Christians. However I have a strong objection to those who take their own paths as Universal Truth based on what they have read or what they interpret. "concerned about my misinformation??" Well my sources of information stem from objective/factual sources mainly.

[ROTTIMAN31]

@Neueregel If I'm angry it's because you are not basing your opinions on fact. Like I said before it's not your opinion I'm concerned about it's your misinformation and belittling. Paganism is one of the fastest growing paths out there, far from dieing. Of course we understand science, our religion is old, we aren't. lol Our gods are representations of real things and yes we know what the sun is, we don't refute science. In fact our ancestors were persecuted by christians for using science.

[Neueregel]

@ROTTIMAN31 But your writing style, you are the angry one.Are you offended so much by a different opinion? My main argument is : "Internet is where ALL religions come to die. Paganism included." You can't stop the flow of information and deeper scientific understanding of the concepts you interpret by worshiping ancient god/gods. The Sun was a god for the Egyptians. For our 3rd millenium society, it 's accepted as a medium sized star in an outer branch inside 1 of the billions of galaxies.Simple

@Neueregel "technophobic, culture shock, naivety in science and social understanding, tree hugging" are you fucking serious?????hahahahaha you just used a bunch of ridiculous stereotypes further proving you are talking out of your ass and that you have absolutely no knowledge of what we are about. Thanx for proving my point for me. Since you were trying to give me debating tips here's one for you, use facts not retarded ill founded stereotypes. It makes you look like an angry teenager.

1st-I always learn while I'm alive. 2nd-I did not say anywhere that Hippies and Pagans are exactly the same.I only made an Analogy. And, yes you share this regression and attitude towards "Nature"( your lil"own" definition of nature which might be Tree-hugging, Moon worshipping etc. For me nature is something else) Other similarities you both share are : being technophobic, and experiencing a culture shock in this digital age. Also you both have a naivety in scientific and social understanding
