To spite my years of research, I would not consider myself to be any kind of authority on Paganism of any sort. This page is just sort of my melting pot of useful information... a "Misc" page if you will.
"Paganism is a general term for all the ancient and modern religions which identify Nature as the body of the Divine. Hinduism is the Paganism of India; Taoism the Paganism of China; Shinto the Paganism of Japan; Santeria, Voudon & Macumba are the Paganisms of the African Diaspora; etc." "From the Latin paganus, meaning "country dweller, rustic", a term which, from a Western perspective, has modern connotations of spiritual practices or beliefs of any folk religion and of historical and contemporary polytheistic religions in particular."
Pagans have great respect for the Earth and Nature. Many Pagan religions focus on Nature worship.
