Description
For more than a thousand years, a diverse range of peoples, from Ireland to India and from the Andes to Australia, have been labelled ‘Pagan’ by the Christians who encountered them. Because the twentieth century new groups have emerged – wiccans, druids, neo-shamans and heathens – who openly call themselves Pagans. But who’re these Pagans and what do they imagine? Which gods and goddesses do they revere? Do they worship nature? Do they practise divination and magic?
From sacred plants imbued with supernatural powers handy-carved amulets that repel evil, and from mischievous spirits of nature to holy mountains, Pagans find divine value within the wildlife and religious significance within the subject matter universe. Delve inside of these pages and read about the myriad paintings and sculptures, shrines and ceremonial objects that reveal the stories, symbols and rituals of Paganism.
